Boutique 1,  Bloom Short Dress

The simple slip-over design with unique one-shoulder accent is a deceptively easy way to look fabulous & poised, 

even if you're not feelin' it. 

I call if the Fake-it-til-Ya-Feel-it Dress!

Not So Little White Dress—Gowns of Distinction

It's difficult not to be inspired by the fashion 

of the Royal Wedding. 

What better timing for a post on the Little White Dress—although these beauties are neither white nor little.

Rather they are gowns worthy of galas, carriages, tiaras, titles and maybe even some crown jewels.

See what you think.

Dress of the Week: Jill Stuart Cheyanne Dress

Taaaa-ddaaaaaa...

the Dressology HQ Dress of the Week is 

the Cheyanne from Jill Stuart.

From Shopbop is this Jill Stuart Cheyanne Dress, approximately $850US

I love the Victorianesque waterfall bodice 

that is vintage-y without being dowdy. 

Silk chiffon in an accordion pleated fabric 

with a ruched waist & a flirty "unfinished" hemline. 

Uber feminine, and without a doubt, someone should have worn this to the Royal Wedding!

TOP 7 REASONS to Put Makeup on and Fix Your Hair Before Leaving the House Even if You are Just Picking up the Kids from School or Going to the Store for Eggs and Milk

1. If you don’t look in the mirror this will be the day you have something big and green stuck on your front tooth.

2. You will run into your former hairdresser and he/she thinks (or says): "HA! I knew you’d be nothing without me!"

Proof that even the most beautiful women benefit from a little help...

3. You will see people you haven’t seen in years—and they will look great. You will never see them again to prove that you too can look great. Really you can...


4. Security will follow your unkempt self, because you are absolutely a shoplifting threat. 

Jessica Alba, still beautiful, just better with product.

5. It’s the first day of the rest of your life and first impressions count!


6. The rip in your sweat pants grows in proportion to the importance of the person, or persons, you see.


7. The stain on your T-shirt grows in proportion to the importance of your need to be taken seriously.

Much prefer the glam-Pam...or do we?

Stick Before...

I left off with me owning up to facing the knocking at the door...


To circumvent the drama of the madly barking dog, I ventured out the side door. And because it's snake season I grab my walking stick. And because just yesterday I broke my nice, slim snake-beatin’ stick, I temporarily replaced it with a stick that is less stick and more gnarled, thick, heavy branch as in the there-was-a-crooked-man nursery rhyme.

And, after.

The not-one-but-two well-dressed, articulate, handsome gentlemen both took an involuntary step back as I rounded the corner. Regaining their composure they informed me they were here to take a water sample (this happens twice a year—my slowpoke calculations eventually determined that yup...it’s about that time). 

Not actually them, but you get the idea...

Of course there is an issue so I walk with them in their fancy khakis and ties, me a paint-and-banana-splattered-croc-wearing-branch-wielding hillbilly trying not to smile because all I can think is.....I ate kiwi with the skin on!!! I can feel fur and seeds stuck to my pearlies.

After much back and forth the mission is deemed unsuccessful and duo will return on Monday.

You know what’s going to happen, right? I don’t care if I wake up with a goiter and tubuerculosis.....I am going to look FABULOUS. I will hire a team if I have to but I will open the door glowing. And I will walk with them, across the gravel driveway and into the weedy, snake-infested meadow in kitten heels and pearls (I’m not really a pearl girl, but you get the point). 

I need to read my own blog and take my own advice...it is an absolute necessity to look your very best every day even if your headache tells you otherwise. In fact, look for a TOP TEN on this very topic.
