Madewell Dresses and Skirts Top Picks

Hello, little Birdies! I'm loving Madewell right now, and today, I'm doing my favorite dresses and skirts. And I'll throw in my least favorites just for kicks.

These are my favorite skirts.

I LOVE CHIFFON! Sorry about that. But I really really love chiffon. Especially pleated chiffon. Moving on. The color is unexpected, and the length is great. Overall, I love it.

This is the same skirt, but in black. It's so awesome with that sweater!

Hmmm, a velvet skirt. Perfect for the holidays, but for everyday, not so much. It's an amazing skirt, but not for everyday. The velvet is fabulous is that color.

This is my least favorite. I hope it speaks for itself, but if it doesn't, I'll explain. The length is too long. The color is jarring. The pattern is odd. It's just an all-around awkward skirt. Not to mention the shirt does not work with it.

Moving on to dresses. Lately I've been loving vintage (or vintage-looking for all the people out there who couldn't find anything vintage to save their lives. Hello, that's me!) slip dresses. They are spectacular under blazers with tough-looking boots. I love blush-tones. This color would be fantastic with a gray blazer!

This is definitely my least favorite. I can't stand that awkward length! And I've never loved that style with any length. I just don't understand it. How is that flattering? I guess we'll never know.

So. My faves. Comment, people, comment! I know y'all have opinions! I need to know them!

Visions of Glasses

I need glasses. Like actual prescription glasses. I found out a few weeks ago, and on Friday and Saturday I decided to go glasses shopping! We narrowed to down to two pairs:


1) We called these the Kate Spade glasses. They're tortoise and slightly cat-eye.

2) We called these the blue ones. They're blue and kinda tortoise-y.

I know which one I like best! What do y'all think? I have a face with a unique shape so it was hard to find ones that worked! Tell me what looks best in the poll!


We call these the Harry Potter ones. I'm not getting these!

Haha! Just looking at that picture makes me laugh! I wouldn't wear these with my uniform in a million years! Hello, I live in Dork City! I love geek chic, but these are too geek, not enough chic!

That Awkward Cousin Named September

I love fall! With cooler weather, dance starting, and Christmas on the horizon, I think fall is a pretty exciting time! Especially for those who have trees that are alive! I wish the leaves in Texas would change color like the leaves in New England. Leaves look so pretty in colors other than green and brown! Anyway, there is a downside: the awkward mouth or two where you know you should put away summer clothes, but it's way to hot to wear fall clothes. In Texas, we call it September! Depending on the year, it's also October. Sad, right? So I know I shouldn't be wearing cut-offs and tank tops, but it's so hot! Last week, it was still in the hundreds!!! I wish it was cool enough to wear olive green corduroy 
pants. . .

Or brown ones. . .

Really any color would work. . . I would even wear red ones. . .

All from J.Crew

I'm loving corduroy this season! Also, I'm loving fall colors like burgundy, olive, and mustard. They're all missing in Texas, sadly. Oh well, at least we get to wear them! So I found some things that are appropriate for the beginning of autumn, but still cool enough for 95º heat.


These are all from Forever 21. . . 

I love the way they're all in fall-ish colors, but they all look breezy and not-as-hot-as-those-striking-corduroy-pants. So do y'all have that awkward cousin named September? Texans deal with it every year! Some more fashionably than others. . . :D


Oh, and for those of you who wonder why it says I posted the last post at 2 o'clock in the morning (Hi, Dad!), I just typed it the day before! I don't like to post in middle of the day, so I set it to post early in the morning. I set it for 12:07 because I thought that sounded like a good time, but nooooo. . . The computer assumes 2 o'clock is better! Haha! I guess better late than never! This should post at 4 because I set it to post at 2:37. Genius, right?
