WVW: The Halter Dress, Take 2*

I’ve had this dress for several years, and love that it’s not only OTT, but comfortable and versatile. The halter has extra long straps that can be tied a number of different ways; in fact I wore it quite a while ago in another variation, and that post, WVW: A Clear Cut, is still one [...]

Worker V: 2.2 Little Black (Wrap) Dress

I love a good LBD—who doesn’t? But what I love more is an LBWD, a little black wrap dress. I already have several and know just how versatile (and forgiving) they can be.

Worker V: 2.1 (That belt again. And new kicks.)

I’m sure you all must think that I wear this belt every day, since it’s on my blog every other. I actually don’t wear it every day. But every week? Possibly, yes. That is why I bought it, after all. To wear it as much as I please. I’ve told you that belts are part [...]
