WEEK 2 - Dress Series

It is Week 2 of the competition. This week challenged the Fashionistas to show us a Dress and give us some advice.
VOTE for your favorite outfit over on the Left Side Bar. *Voting for all outfits closes on Aug 8, 2013 @ Midnight

OUTFIT #1
When I wear a dress I want it to show my feminine side. It is an opportunity to let my hair down, put my heels on, and add some jewelry. Whether it is an a-line or a fitted cocktail - a dress is an opportunity to be a woman, and that is my favorite part.

OUTFIT #2
I love how easy and comfortable dresses can be! This particular dress I bought because I loved the print and then rehemmed to just above knee length so it would be more flattering. I think just above knee-length is probably the most universally flattering length on any woman. Longer lengths cut you mid-calf and can have a shortening effect, and shorter lengths can sometimes end up being too short.

OUTFIT #3
Who says that dresses can only be worn for fancy occasions? A chambray shirt dress is the perfect item that can be dressed up for dinner, down for errands, and even paired over a bathing suit in the hot summer months. For this full look and more dress tips, head over to my blog Sealed With Style.  

OUTFIT #4
My search obsession lately has been for vintage or retro dresses. I was so happy to find this one which just happens to be my ideal. It's modest, I absolutely love the pockets, perfect cinched waist, and the only altering I had to do was cut out the shoulder pads (I never understood that fad... Hehe) Make sure to visit Run Style Run (www.run-style-run.blogspot.com) for more details on my outfit.

OUTFIT #5
I love the functionality of the maxi dress and that it's flattering on all different shapes and sizes. Pair it with some funky flats, a side braid, and a hat for a bohemian look or some wedges, a clutch, and an up-do for an evening look; the possibilities are endless.

OUTFIT#6
I realized, after much digging, that we don't do dresses very often! I love a dress, don't get me wrong, I love to buy them, re-fashiom them, and make them... but i rarely ever wear them! i think i get blocked by the idea of "less is more" i mean, isn't it true that the dress really is the outfit? {so that throws our  whole "more is more" theory right out the window!} i also have this OCD fear of repeating myself... every time you wear that dress it a repeat! Am I right?! So what the heck is wrong with that?? I love this freaking dress and I AM gonna wear it again! ...I'll just probably change my hair, makeup, necklace AND shoes... what can I say, I'm a creature of habit.... and by habit, I mean crazy... all kinds of crazy!
OUTFIT #7

"A dress has always been my strongest suit", I absolutely agree! I've never feel more confident than when I'm wearing a dress. I love dressing it down with denim and fun accessories. See more from this outfit here.
