Pale Dresses and Skirts For Spring

By -
In uncertain economic times, fashion plays it safe. Expect hourglass silhouettes, long skirts, basic black, and for spring, the trusty pastel. Gotta say, I'm loving pale on pale layering this season. Pick your pieces wisely. Make sure they have a variety of textures, prints and frills to make the look interesting, otherwise you might as well be a member of the 1990's beige brigade.

Mmm...I'm feelin' pale green this spring. Altho the 3rd dress, pale green one, look a bit too schoolteacher for me. Pale green makes me want to be a red head, cuz all my redhead friends look stunning in pale green =(.

Free People actually sell things <$100?!?! oh right, it's on super sale.

Thx for the accordian pleat! I knew it! every time I tell myself I don't need clothe and am not going to go on UO, they come out with something I just crave. mmm...it's fun, girly, romantic...

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.
