Dresses
I adore dresses: mini, maxi, fancy, loungewear… These are some that caught and held my eye that I wanted to share. Whether you window shop or buy, I hope you decide that my taste is worth coming back for.
Couple of bits of info to share about this one. One, it also comes in red, but the lilac color is what made me really want to share it. Two, this link is to the 0-14 size. The site also has a 14-26 in red, however I can't put two links on one item. T...
ASOS mesh long sleeve maxi dress with twist detail (0-26)
Few dresses make me wish I was model thin, but this is one of them. Not only do I love asymmetrical dresses - especially necklines - I adore gray. So this maxi dress may be simple, but the expert ruching just makes it. I imagine it with one piece of ...
Asymmetric drape slash neck maxi dress (0-14)
I don't have all the photos of this lovely dress - which comes in black and stunning lilac - but you should click and go look at the pictures. Actually, the videos are best. This is the kind of fabric that drapes so nicely, it's worth seeing in motio...
Twist fallen shoulder plisse maxi dress (0-14)
I LOVE Eileen Fisher. Have for decades. She is not cheap though, I must admit. I did have to include something from her, even if just to look at. I fell in love with this dress because of the fabric and color. The teal is fabulous, even more so than ...

Got a summer backyard BBQ coming up? Or many of them? Already got a cute bikini? Add this cute coverup over the top and be ready to flirt your way through the season. Having a crochet mini-dress over a bathing suit is a great look for pool parties. G...
ASOS crochet knit summer mini dress (0/2-12/14)
Summer! That time of year when these kinds of dresses magically reappear. Skin-baring without being sl**ty (sorry, Mom), this dress is cool in both ways and adds an element of class with the trailing sash detail. The color is bold, without being eye-...

What a lovely summer dress! Maxi, but with a high-low hem to keep you cool, this comes in white and a number of other colors like red, green, navy, butter yellow and basic black. This garment can be dressed up with sexy strappy sandals and jewelry o...

Textured Satin Halter-neck Mini Dress (2-12)
Tops
A great hairstyle is a good way to garner positive attention, but so is clothing. Some women can make a boyfriend's plain white T and old jeans look stunning. I? Am not one of those women. And so I rely on attractive and interesting tops to catch the...
Simple and sexy for summertime. Pair this with your favorite skirt for a date night or your favorite jeans for just hanging out. Either way, black will only look hot, not be hot. This top has enough air conditioning to get through a sunny day without...

Exotic Boteh Rayon Shirt (S-XXL)
This is from Temu, so just be aware. It's Asian sizing, so that's another aspect to check before ordering. That said, OMG I love this top! Not only a very cool asymmetrical design, it's a great grey as well. The stand collar is very trendy, but this...
Stand collar high-neck asymmetrical top (Asian sizing)
I used to love Issey Miyake fashions and this kind of reminds me why I adored them so much: drama! I really love when a garment is so bold and distinctive. I'm not sure what the fabric is like, but the design made me sit up and take notice. Note: Tem...
Batwing high neck pullover (Asian sizing)
So lovely in light purple aka lavender. To me it reads more floral than tie dye, but to each her own. It comes in a nice wide range of sizes and it also comes in a variety of colors, both solids and patterns. It seems a versatile piece that can likel...
LARACE Purple Tie-Dye Asymmetrical Tunic (M-6X)
I'm torn. I really wanted to add a different color in a similar pattern, but I felt it was too similar to what I already had on the list. So you get this lovely multicolored green with a circular pattern plus a treasure hunt to go to the linked page ...
Zeagoo Green Circles Tank Top (S-XXL)
A crisp white top not only looks sharp, it's extremely versatile. Check out the model, dressing this down with frayed denim shorts. Now imagine the same top going upscale over a stark black pencil skirt and high heels. Seriously different looks for t...
Topshop cinched off-the-shoulder top (0/2-12)
Such pretty flowers... I'm reminded of both the trend for large watercolor floral prints and Hawaiian shirt prints with their joyful flowers and fun colors. This top is just a bit more understated and less blurry, though I enjoy the subtle coloring. ...

One thing everyone needs for a long hot summer is a really good t-shirt. This boxy cropped beauty keeps you cool and looks awesome on. It comes in a number of washed colors and is loose enough to allow natural air conditioning to reach your arms and ...

Bottoms
What do you need: pants, capris, skirts, shorts, skirts with shorts underneath? Long leggings? Short mini skirts? Maxi skirts? Solid black? Soft florals? So many choices, many more than kinds of tops, so linger here and come back for more later since...
If you've seen my clothing lists at all it's no surprise that I like a) monochrome black/grey/white and b) solid colors. So this skirt is a departure for me and therefore proof I care more about bringing you lovely clothing than just mimicking my own...
ASOS printed maxi skirt in floral (0/2-12/14)
POCKETS! For ages, my friends and coworkers have always bemoaned how women's pants don't get pockets like men's do. Cargo pants came out years ago and my ex fell in love with all the pockets. But I owned zero because the look wasn't me. This pair is ...
ARRANGE drawstring utility pants (0-12)
Black Coffee and Cream! (Just wanted to let you know that this comes in both black and cream colors.) This attractive mini skirt isn't too flashy, but it has a cool asymmetrical vibe that keeps it from fading into the background. Great with just abou...
Karen Millen Figure Form Asymmetric Mini Skirt (2-12)
I cannot tell you how many hours I spent just looking for a cute floral skirt for this list. It's insane how many are ugly and how many web sites have lousy search engines and navigation. (Or just crazy prices! Whether you appreciate my curation or n... Is that too much to ask? Eyes all the web sites she looked at for the last few days. Apparently it is. I just hope one of you thinks this is pretty.
Ekouaer Active Mixed Floral Skort (XS-XXL)
I ran across this skirt, I mean skort, when I was ISO a floral skirt (and I don't mean skort). I liked the colors, the kind of crazy pattern, and the pocket in the shorts. I did not mean for these to be so sports oriented. I also am not a fan of the ...
LouKeith Activewear Boho Skort with Pocket (XS-XXL)
When it rains, it pours. (Especially right now since a just made its presence known.) I went looking for one cute skirt everywhere, found two more while searching for the one, so now I have three! This one caught my eye with its interesting design an...

High-Waisted Corduroy Mini Skirt/Skort (0/2-3X)
Suits
While there are quintessential suits for work, one should also consider some…less traditional/conservative styles as well, especially if you want to look alluring during those times. /big grin/ Modern suits can be a nice way to differentiate yourself as being style savvy and someone who doesn't feel the need to follow the flock. Baaa Humbug.
Everyone needs at least one good interview suit: recent HS grads, about to be college grads, those re-entering the workforce, etc. I like this particular suit. It's a solid mix of modern and traditional. It's got a nice subtle plaid, a respectable gr...
Mango Louis collarless blazer & pants suit set (2-10)
Nice clean lines! This collarless blazer has interesting button placement, has matching straight leg pants, and gives you a choice of a nice mid-tone brown and navy. (No black? Shocking!) I already love collarless blazers, and this one is well design...
Collarless Blazer with Straight Leg Pants (2-18)
Beige does not equal boring. Yes, it's a good color for a work suit. (One can't wear black every day after all.) Yes, it's easy to pair with shoes and tops. (And in my case... Yes< it's collarless. <3) I couldn't get all the images, so you'll want to click through to see the pants. For those of you into the barrel style in pants, this is a cool set. The single button blazer paired with the buttoned barrel pants is a quite stylish contemporary a...
River Island Beige Collarless Blazer and Barrel Pants (2-14)
Summer suiting! Keep your cool and keep your own way of honoring the corporate dress code. Awesome for business lunches on outdoor patios, this combo comes in both black and an unexpected yet intriguing red. The bonus belt and oversized triangular la...

Sets

The ultimate summer top and pant set. Full stop.
Missyempire straight neck asymmetric knot side detail top and pants set (2-10)
Coffee with Cream! Yes, this comes in two colors: the coffee/milk chocolate vibe shown and a light creamy ivory. I couldn't get the cream colored pix, which were better than this brown one, so you'll just have to go look. I was looking for tops this ...

Like drama? Like to look dramatic? Want to stun on impact? This ensemble packs a punch. It's modern styled, pleated, and has a cool juxtaposition of feminine form and menswear suit. The gray adds to the impact - a strong charcoal that separates you f...

Just a cute and comfy casual capri and top set. This would be good for both lounging around the house or running errands, even hanging out with friends. Great for hot weather and so much more stylish than just a t-shirt. Fashion isn't just what you w...
COLLUSION tie waist capri and off shoulder top set (0/2-10/12)
They call this color dark green khaki. Not sure, since all my clothes tend to come in black and shades of gray. ;-) But I liked this style enough to include it, which says something about how visually attractive it is. Obviously, these two pieces wou...
ARRANGE tailored asymmetric top and pleated wide leg pants (0-14)
This one's perfect for all you belly ring ladies. Show off those abs in this skirt and cardigan set. As fancy as you want to be, or not, adding jewelry and accessories to this makes a big difference. The neutral stone color likely would look great wi...

ASOS Blur print camisole and maxi skirt (0/2-12/14)
Now this is a beachy outfit. You could throw it on over a bathing suit, however I picture evening tropical drinks as the sun goes down over the ocean. I see the clinking of glasses, joyful free laughter, and the promise of good food and dancing. Dang...
4th & Reckless crinkle asymmetric hem one shoulder top and pants set (2-12)
Ooh, I like this set! Actually I really liked the top (love halters, even though they don't flatter me...pfft, who cares?) and then I discovered it was a set. And on sale too! Grab this gorgeous set as soon as you can. I'm sure it's going to be gone ...

I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy. Or I would be if I was wearing this cozy chocolate set. I'm a sucker for texture and this looks like /whispers/ "muppet skin" /shushes/ but hey, I'm not the one who made that up. Note: be aware that while this is a set...
Seven Wonders Anneliese Off Shoulder Knit Top and Skirt (XS-XL)
Ooh. Shiny.
Runaway the Label Adeluna Halter Top and Maxi Skirt Set (XS-XL)
Note: This comes in black as well, but I linked to the burgundy set instead. I know... Shock and horrors. For once I felt that the second color was more striking and stylish than the plain black. I saw the top first and it's a stunner. The embroidere...
ASOS embroidered scalloped long sleeve sheer top and mini skirt (0-14)
Wedding Wear
If you want to look like a traditional bride, you're probably in the wrong place. However, if you are interesting in something unusual, stunning, unique, or casual yet lovely, then check out this group of wedding gowns I found to be swoon-worthy.
Honest to God, I liked this wedding dress so much I made a whole new list and section just so I could share it with you. I picture Zendaya wearing it. It's shiny and sexy and those large sequins make the dress look so special. I realize it doesn't ha...
ASOS large paillette sequins plunge halter neck wedding dress (0-14)
Designer gown for a reasonable price? This is it. A Normal Kamali gown with a lovely drape neckline with a really great looking back. Sadly I couldn't get a photo of it to show up here. So if the front of this lovely snow white satin dress calls to y...
Norma Kamali Halter Drape Bias Gown (0-10)
So this lovely ecru colored dress doesn't have to be a wedding dress, but it would make a great one. Obviously not as good for a church wedding, but I do think this would be an amazing dress for the right woman. Wear what you wish underneath, but en...
Topshop premium crochet knit full skirted dress (0-12)
This one really caught my eye. Great look for a casual or beach wedding in a warm climate. I love the way the mesh top is echoed in the peek-a-boo slit in the short skirt. And the back is very attractive as well. If you like it and you're not a 'walk...
Short Jewel Neck Sleeveless Wedding Dress (0- 26W)
Though this is not mine, it's one of the few where I said "I'd wear that." I LOVE the bateau neckline. It has the allure of a halter neck, yet is more flattering. The simple satin front is augmented by a lovely backless design with buttons down the b...
Simple Bateau Neck Satin Wedding Dress With Train (0-26W)
This one goes out to all the ladies who love sparkly shiny things. While this isn't the dress with the most bling ever, it sparkles really hard for under $200. Yes, it comes in colors so if your heart is set on a blush colored gown, go look. Personal...
Shiny Sequins Wedding Dress (0-26W)
This, to me, is almost the ideal beach wedding dress. It's not flashy, lacy, or drowning in beads. It's got a nice low back, but the neckline isn't too low. It's kind of casual from the front, but all bride from the back with that hemline. So it you'...
Simple Satin Wedding Dress Spaghetti Straps (0-26W)
I almost gasped when I saw this black wedding dress photo so I had to include it. Gothic? Yes. Stunning? Also, yes.
Gothic Black Wedding Dress Black Beaded Court Train (0-26W)

ASOS fallen shoulder mesh sheer panel wedding dress (0/2-12/14)
Seriously. finding out this dress only came in 0-14 broke my heart. It's stunning. I love a sheer skirt - especially when it either comes with an opaque skirt beneath or you add one yourself - so this caught my eye and held it for weeks. I still can'...
BTW, it comes in black as well. /sniffs/
