Lace Dresses

By -
Lace dresses are one of the biggest trends for Fall/Winter 08. (Yes, we are talking autumn trends before Labor Day. Break out some cider if it helps put you in the mood.) These aren't ankle length, black Morticia Addams numbers. Nor should they be ivory and froofy like my mother on her way to church. These dresses are young and modern in one of two ways, color or silhouette. Think neons instead of pastels and minis rather than any demure length your grandmother would approve of. You can also find a vintage lace dress (and there are plenty) and jazz it up with bright belts, replace the lining with a slinkier slip, or a snip snip at the hem.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion.

Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
