Love or Loathe: Sleeveless

By -
While I was searching for great work dresses the other week, I noticed most of the styles were sleeveless sheaths. Personally, I think they're the bees' knees as I can layer jackets and cardigans without the extra bulk, and the lack of sleeves makes the dress perfect for summer too. But I tried to feature several sleeved styles as some people must wear sleeves at work and others simply don't like showing their upper arms. Sleeves also help balance modest and sexy when wearing a mini. How do you feel about sleeveless dresses and tops?

I'm a fan for the same reasons that you listed. Especially because in the summer when I'm walking to work, it's mega hot. I have to have my shoulders covered at work, but I like to be able to go sleeveless while I'm walking. In winter I can put a fitted long sleeve under the dress, a cardigan over top, and no one is the wiser about my extra layer.

J. Crew always has cotton-blend sleeveless sheath dresses available in a variety of colors. Sometimes you can buy them on clearance. They look like the perfect work dress.

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. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
