Date To Day

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

We all have those stashes of dress in our closets that we wear on special dates and events, the slim hugging, micro mini, or cut out embellished type of dresses. While beautiful and intriguing on their own, sometimes you think about stretching out the use for it because we're not always going on a hot date! I've recently experimented with a few of my slinky dresses and got a good response. Check out how I turn my date night dresses to perfectly acceptable day outfits!

Wedding Chic

Painted By Jacqueline Davis Moranti

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about weddings and not because of me but because my best friend is getting married! Hanging out with her and all of the bridesmaids just remind me of how beautiful and magical weddings can be, from the venues to the decorations. Best part about weddings of course is the wedding dress! Who knew that there were so many styles of wedding dresses, up until recently I figured that there were only two styles and boy was I wrong! The dresses have a way of making the woman appear like queens and princesses of far away worlds, the drapery, the lace, the long train, the massive amounts of tulle and the list can go on. The same can definitely be said about Julie Vino's Fall 2017 Napoli collection!

The Charming Bride

Spring has sprung, well not officially just yet but the weather is warmer, the air is dewy and the flowers are sprouting! Love is also in the air, maybe not for this diva but there is a definite change in the atmosphere and that is because adoration is all around us. It's that time of the year when wedding invitations cloud our mailboxes, sure you could spend your time looking at dress options to wear to the ceremony but I tend to procrastinate and look at wedding dresses to get a feel for what I might expect! Recently, while browsing the web, lusting after luxe wedding dresses, I came upon a new collection by ASOS. ASOS is bringing your dream budget wedding dress for less than $600, now that's something worth celebrating!

One Little Dress...


     I've taken this cute little dress from Forever21 and reinvented ways of wearing it. I hate wearing things how they're meant to be worn, unless it's something super dynamic by itself! The color of this dress is great especially for color blocking.


     The major theme I was going for was the color blocked look, great for the warmer months. The first outfit (top- left) is great for a night out, the pink dress is worn underneath a teal mini skirt with a tassel belt to show off the waist and it also ties in the striped blazer. The look next to it, wears the dress under a button down top, in person, the pink in the blouse looks super similar to the dress, but the camera seems to make it look a lot lighter. It's a really casual feel outfit, the denim jacket also helps to fulfill that, and the necklace ties in the blue from the jacket. Great outfit for a day in the city with some friends. Bottom left outfit is a more sophisticated, pulled together look. Very office friendly and fun! A basic blue button down is worn over the little pink dress and then a very bright colored sweater over top of that. the belt helps to show off the waist and the scarf adds some more color to the outfit. The next outfit is a more bohemian look, my trademark looks... looking through my calendar to find an event to wear it to already! The LPD is worn under a black t- shirt and then a teal button down is thrown on top of it, unbuttoned. the belt helps to, once again show off those womanly curves! This outfit definitely called for a statement necklace! 


     So I was still feeling experimental and tried the LPD in another option. I have it worn under a sheer citron, maxi dress. In person, the pink of the dress shows through more than it does in this picture. I'd wear this to a date with a special someone! 
Keep mixing and matching, readers!
