Love or Loathe: Mod Cloth Party Dress

By -
Mod Cloth is touting this "Draping Devotion" dress as part of their holiday party collection. I wouldn't wear this to a party. To me, it's sort of Little House on the Prairie gets fancy crafty with table cloths, and that's not meant as a slam at all. I really like the dress as the shiny patterned base to a boho look. Here I've roughed it up with riding boots and a leather jacket, but a chunky knit cropped cardigan and heavy wedges would also work. Both looks are certainly for the eccentric, but this eccentric heart can look on the dress with fondness.

It's My Party Dress, I'll Boho If I Want To


What do you think of this dress? Is it party perfect or can it be transformed into something else?

LOL @ the Little House comment. I definitely do not love the dress for a party or otherwise, but your styling makes it much better!

I'd be tempted to shorten that underneath layer to about knee length and wear a puffy petticoat under it. Worn with bright yellow accesories?

Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).

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.
