Drop It

Let's play with waistlines. The seemingly neglected line when its main competition is the ultra-visible hemline. The drop waist is scary because it's not the usual hourglass silhouette we are used to seeing. It swings differently, falls differently, and hugs differently. As we've been taught as women in the 21st century - different is good. So let's try on some printed drop waist dresses that make us feel...different.

Loft, Dot Flounce Dress, $89

I mean, come on. Perfect. Great vertical torso seam to make you look six feet tall.

Gap, Print Drop Waist Dress, $59

So effortless. I love the pockets!

Asos, Y.A.S. Drop Waist Dress, $46

One more polka dot option because it seems to work so well with this waistline.

Loft, Dandelion Drop Waist Dress, $64

I love this dress because it doesn't scream summer. Wear it now and then wear it later with a navy blazer with suede booties.

Mix it up with the waistlines and try something different. Drop waist is easy, breezy, and unexpected.

Belted and Beautiful

Hey there lovebugs,
How was your weekend? I got outside a little bit and and checked out the new CB2 that opened in Georgetown and then tackled my closet on Sunday.

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about the waistline.  No, I'm not going to scold you on your food choices this weekend (I chose chili cheese fries and beef brisket); I'm talking about a great embellished waistline on a dress. It can really add the perfect amount of detail to an outfit.

Newport News, Grace rose print tank dress, $94

I'm obsessed with this beauty.  The flat pleats with the matching belt is truly feminine and vintage looking.

Modcloth, Simply Put Dress, $47

Just like the name of this dress: simple.  A soft silk bow- its just classic.

Nordstrom, Collective Concepts Print shirtdress, $78

This thin silk belt is understated and casual.  Perfect for this shirtdress.

Talbots, Twist Sash dress, $97

This waist detail is almost origami-like.  Perfect piece for day or night.

Waist embellishments come in all shapes, colors, and sizes.  Remember to balance the accessories with the size and detail of the waist of the dress.
