Sometimes Drama is Good!

Adding dramatic pieces can spice up your wardrobe!




I've decided that one of the things that draws me to items I love is a dramatic effect.  Like this long robish kind of thing.  I found it at my local Goodwill and it just jumped out at me.  I tried it on immediately and knew I had to have it!  $5 later, it's like we've known each other forever.  I've got lots of ideas on how to wear this.....belted over a pencil skirt, hanging open over white jeans and heels, with an opaque slip underneath and a skinny belt and worn like a dress.  It's new home is adorning the dress form that I have in my room.

Here are a couple of gorgeous girlies who inspired me with their long flowing numbers.  The Stylish Wanderer and the effortlessly chic Karla's Closet!

  3. Serene you look gorgeous, I'm sure you turned heads because you look so elegant. I usually don't go for the drama, I love how it looks on others but I feel a little bit self -conscious when I try it myself. =)

  15. I totally agree with you here. I love the bold statement pieces with the rest of it fairly simply. It's so elegant and shows unique style.

  16. I like the long white coat. Yes, I don't walk out the front door unless there's drama in the mirror! I usually use hats to look fabulous, but statement necklaces work, too.
