eBay WTF of the Day: Bad jean jacket #3

Ach! Too! Busy! Cripes! Eyes! Burning!

Be careful with denim, people. This is an example of where a simple crime against denim could lead to total outfit mayhem. We don't care what you're wearing under that jacket; we take one look at it and we're having a seizure on the floor.

This jean jacket from Josephs-colours-sells on eBay is a Coldwater Creek from the underacknowledged realm of "trying to look like your mother and doing it wrong."

Dress of the Day: Maggy London Scoop Neck Brocade Dress

maggy london scop neck brocade dressIs it over yet?

Not quite, kittenz. We still have two more weeks to party it up, Holiday style. Look on the bright side. You get to put on a lot more cute/hot/sexy/chic dresses!

Maggy London's Scoop Neck Brocade Dress falls into the "cute" category. The tank style top is more modest than a strapless cocktail dress, and with brocade leaf print, almost feels like a grown-up version of a Laura Ashley sundress. What tops the "cute" factor though, is the satiny sash that wraps around the waist and ties into a darling bow.

Shoes for this dress are easy. I normally like strappy high-heeled sandals for evening, but a cute pair of black pumps with a round toe seems to be more appropriate.

The dress is $148 at Nordstrom.

Dress of the Day: Lela Rose Brocade Dress

lela rose gold brocade dressSo the countdown to your Holiday party (or Holiday parties, you socialite, you) begins. Styledash wants you to look fabulous, and how could you not look positively stunning in this dress by Lela Rose?

The Strapless Brocade Dress is gold brocade fabric with a wide, banded waist in dark brown with a light trim. The skirt is full, pleated in the front, and falls to just above the knee, perfect for showing off your gams that stretch into a pair of dark brown shoes -- my preference would be a simple high heeled pump so as not to take anything away from the dress. You sure wouldn't, since the dress is $995 at Neiman Marcus.
