Well, somehow dresses got me again.


This is a mix of one last summer buy and some autumn/winter finds. These were all quick try-ons, so not wearing my best bras, all styled, etc.

I'm considering what I call a mix of Modern Luxe, Glam 1970s, and "Modern Outlander" for my autumn/winter wardrobe. Sweater dresses fit into these vibes quite nicely, particularly Modern Luxe and Glam 70s. Both sweater dresses are short sleeved which doesn't scream "warm", I know. However, I plan to wear one of my several chiffon blouses under the dresses to add some warmth. Or perhaps I'll buy a couple of lightweight turtlenecks to wear underneath. At any rate, I love the high neckline paired with the short almost dolman shaped sleeve. It feels very fresh to me.

My one last summer buy ( I think...) I really feel black isn't my absolute best compared to deep chocolate or warm charcoal. Still, I said "the heck to that" when I stumbled across this dress on Poshmark. It was new with tags for a fab price. One of the buttons popped off when I bent over to get something off the floor. It doesn't discourage me though. A quick little surgery and hopefully I'll be on my way. The fabric is a really nice weight linen blend, which surprised me.

More black. Color options were very limited with this dress and black was the best of the bunch. This was a quick try-on so didn't have my Spanx on with it. It really does need Spanx for the tummy area (eek). This dress is almost body con. I nearly sized up on it, but I just don't know what will fit come fall. But I couldn't bear letting it get away either. Surprisingly, this isn't the nicest acrylic knit fabric I've ever felt. It's heavy and thick enough, but the finish of the fabric doesn't feel plush. And yet... I just love the shape and style of this dress, so I'm willing to overlook it. It's hard to see, but just the waistline is ruched at the sides which I think is brilliant.

OH MY HEART! Loveth this so much! The sleeve/shoulder line is actually quite unusually cut, as it wraps around the shoulder to the front. Weirdly. there are slits at the waist side seams, the size of pockets yet... there are no pockets. The belt came threaded through the slits. However, the shape of the dress is really best with it being worn belted over the entire waist. Not sure what to think about the weird side slits. I'll probably whip stitch them closed, to avoid any odd mishaps. Fabric is a knit cotton blend and very soft, cozy, and plush.

Deep emerald. It runs a bit small, so not sure if I'll wear it more as a dress or open cardigan. Love the color. I am experimenting with cooler greens this autum/winter, as well as my usual olives and forest greens. I think it will be really pretty and easy to wear with tops and jeans for low key days.

Snagged this new for $15. Feels very Outlander/70s. Not sure if I loved the bow version neckline on me? I think it's better untied and open.

Another good buy for $15. This one screams 70s to me! I really love the peplum, the high neck, and the bodice cutout. Very fun print too. Little cooler colors than I usually wear, but I like the change-up.

Always happy to hear any feedback my fellow Fab friends have for me!
