Watermelon + DresseStylist Review

______I'm bringing you guys yet another fabulous and fanciful frock courtesy of DresseStylist--and my gosh, is it lovely as ever!  This dress fits perfectly in the waist so it can support what barely-there-boobies I have, and it stays up no matter how much I jump up and down and all around.  I love it when a dress is snug enough that it stays up on it's own, but isn't constraining to the point where it affects the way you breathe or how much you can eat.

______Thankfully, my breathing isn't inhibited in this dress and I'm able to devour more than one pea without exploding out of it.  I tested the hypothesis myself, and I can eat up to a grand total of four and a half peas.



______The quality is super duper nice, and I especially adore how the interior is lined in silk and how the skirt is so full and twirly.  Something about wearing a dress that ebbs and flows so smoothly when you move sure puts some regal swag in your step, doesn't it?  And man, this dress is full of regal swag.  So much swishing and flipping!

______The coral color is perfect as we transition into warmer weather, and the chiffon is so breezy and ethereal and makes me feel like a gossamer jellyfish undulating on the tides of life.  I'm usually not one to paint myself pretty in pastels, so I'm really liking how this shade of coral-pink is nearly neon.  The color is reminiscent of watermelon, though this dress is not nearly as edible as one.  I don't think most dresses are edible, though.  Not in my part of town.  Strip clubs... now that's a whole different topic.




______I hope you guys are having a rad-tastical end of the week.  I know I am because my dearest dad is finally home after a lengthy two-week trip up north.  He drove a hearty thirty hours from Alabama to North Dakota to see his father before he passed away at the ripe age of 81.  I'm just rather relieved that he's coping well over his father's death, and even more glad that he's finally back home.  Now that my dad has returned, the manliness radiating from his mighty mustache will hopefully scare away any those monsters and bugs that decided they could settle in the dark crevices of our home while he was away.

Dragonblood + DressesStylist Review

______This outfit features another lovely dress that DressesStylist sent me for review.  This one is flowy and fabulous, and just like the first dress I received, is of high-quality.  Though still quite dressy, I feel that this one is a lot more acceptable for day-to-day wear.  The criss-cross back is a cute detail, and I also adore the asymmetrical chiffon hemline since the layers catch the wind so elegantly.  The hemline is like a cape, but for your booty. A booty cape. My friends, join me as we begin the generation of the booty cape people.

______The deep red color is another nice little element, and I'm pretty sure it's the exact color of dragon blood.  I don't know what color dragon blood would actually be since dragons are extinct and all, but if I did know, I'd say their blood was the color of this dress.  I sure hope dragons stop being extinct soon so we can find out.  Dragon blood just sounds rad.  It sounds even cooler when you take the space out of it words together: dragonblood.  That would be an awesome book title.  I should write book titles.  Is that a job--writing book titles, and nothing more?  It should be.

______I feel like this post is pretty choppy, and I'm going to end this post by saying, "I hope it stops raining."  I like the rain and all, but not when it interferes with my morning bike rides.  I much prefer foggy mornings. Every morning last week, I was able to ride around campus in the fog, and it made for the best bike rides in the history of bike rides ever.  Fog is neat because it not only devours all the sounds and brave souls around it like some semi-transparent sponge, but it also makes the temperature perfect--not too extreme on either side, just the ideal 55 degree lovechild of hot and cold.

Forevergreen + Msdressy Review

______Feast your eyes upon this ever most charming gown which I recently received from Msdressy, my fair people.  No, seriously, check it out.  That quality.  That sheen.  That subtle beauty and elegance.  I am a forest fairy, floating ever so gracefully through the, uh, my driveway.  Shhh, no, you must imagine the dense and misty surrounding forest.  You must believe.

______Anyway, a little bit about the lovely company that was ever so kind to offer me this pretty dress in exchange for a  review.  Msdressy is a website that offers discounted prom, wedding, and formal dresses, all which can be customized to either a standard or custom size and also in your color of choice.  I chose this pretty little number in a deep, dark green and had it custom sized.  When it arrived, I was pleased to discover that it fit just perfectly, so very perfectly!





______I really like how this strapless dress actually manages to stay up no matter what.  This dress has a stretchy custom fit built-in bra thing going on behind the scenes to keep the dress in place at all times.  I can jump and dance about and this dress won't fall down.  It's kind of incredible.  I also adore the detailing, primarily the sweetheart neckline ruffles and the little sleeve drape; it adds a subtle amount of Roman-esque feel, no?  I feel like a pretty princess wearing this... and that, my friends, is the best thing that a dress can do for you!
