Long time no clothes

I've noticed lately, especially with the influx of financial information I've been publishing so far, that this blog has really strayed from its original function. Way back in the day (like six months ago), this was a fashion blog. Can you believe it?

So, I thought I'd take a trip back in time and deal with a bit o' fashion. So here goes.

Something I've been thinking about a lot lately is dresses. Not because I'm shallow and I think about clothes all the time, but because it's graduation season, getting into wedding season.

I've been to six graduation events in the last week that I had to dress variously for, and although I'm not invited to any weddings, it's good to think about how I would clothe myself to attend one.









This Anthropologie style would work best on someone with a smaller frame, especially with a smaller bust. Wear with heels--even if you're tall, go with a short heel.


This Ann Taylor Loft dress is a bit longer than the others, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's elegant and grown-up. Would work well on most frames, even the bustier ones (as long as it fits well!) and can go with heels or flats.






This Ralph Lauren dress would work best with heels, and can go with a medium frame or a smaller one.













This Searle dress is a good night-time look and, in the right size, would fit most shapes well. Wear with heels--either a tall one (if you're short) or a short heel (if you're tall).

This Searle dress would definitely work best on a smaller physique, and in white, definitely on someone with darker coloring. Wear with shorter heels or flats.











Be careful with yellow, blondes. For everyone else, this Searle dress will be great on you unless you're really small on top. Wear with medium heels or flats.




And, last but not least, this Searle dress will go best with lighter complexion, smaller figures and flats or short heels. Darker complected people will also look OK in this dress. Bigger busts and overall figures will not look OK in it. And if you try pairing this with really high heels, you will look like a hooker.
