I recently came upon this and this.

And while I agree that babydoll TOPS make women look pregnant, I disagree that babydoll dresses make all women, "even a size 0" (as someone said in the comments) look pregnant and fat. I have a few babydoll dresses, and they do not make me look pregnant, and I am a size 0 (well, usually. Been gettin' a little plump lately). I think it mostly depends on the fabric, the cut, and the woman. If anything, they make me look even younger than I already look, but NOT pregnant.

As for the "men don't like babydoll dresses" thang, well I don't really give a damn. And to the commenter who wrote this:

Women today (since the late 60's) are so stupid. I guess most of these girls commenting here and saying this article is BS just have to say "well, um, I don't need a man anyway! I don't have to dress for a man! Stupid men, I don't need 'em... *goes to NOW meeting in Birkenstocks with no makeup on*" because they can't get one. So they decide to just wear what they want and disguise the real reason they do by calling it "self-esteem" when it's really because, even when they tried to dress to attract men, it didn't work. If you're not dressing to attract men and make yourself look fabulous, why bother? Just wear a bath robe and no make-up, because, based on the logic you dress for yourself, that would be the best choice because it's comfortable and easy to do.

You're a dumbass. Like many already said in the comments section, several women don't dress for men! Who wants that constant attention from guys based on how your ass looks in some jeans anyway? And just because someone says they don't dress for men doesn't mean they're hairy anti-men feminist types. Usually I feel women who dress for men are either really looking for sex, or are just insecure and need the validation. Also, I "got one". And it wasn't in a skintight mini skirt and boob shirt. Some women, the ones who dress for themselves, may feel most comfortable in a "bathrobe and no make-up", but feel BEST (as in more special, womanly, elegant, whatever) in nicer clothing, babydoll or not.

As for this idiotic question:

If you're not dressing to attract men and make yourself look fabulous, why bother?


Why bother? Because some of us actually enjoy fashion for how it makes us feel without the ogling and gawking from men. Any woman can still "look fabulous" without dressing in slutty tight outfits. Actually, I think MOST women look fabulous and SEXY in the unexpected. Not a leopard print fat-hugging tube dress. And often, women who dress for men end up looking like whores and think what they wear is "sexy" when really it's just slutty and way too small. And I would much rather see someone who MIGHT be pregnant underneath a babydoll dress than some jiggly girl who thinks she's sexy and attracting men in her trampy outfits. Those girls scream insecurity.

That dolt who posted that original comment needs to be slapped.

I'm a whore for the GO lines at Target, and Patrick Robinson's may have been the most eh-whatever one for me so far. However, the new Libertine stuff has me all excited again. I love the bow blouse. So far my favorite has been Proenza, but we'll see about Libertine in person on July 15. Follow here to see the looks.

It's not often that I rebuy shoes, or ever, really. I've never had to, my shoes usually last quite a long time because I don't wear them all that often. That's probably because I spend the rest of the time in my Dr. Scholls. They come in practically every color, they go with almost everything, and they're only 30 bucks. I recently came across a shiny (not REALLY shiny, but you know what I mean) new pair in a pale pink, a darker pink, a lavender color, a tan, and white. I already have the white in a 6, but they are BEAT up. I don't usually wear shoes until they're that beat up, but they're just so versatile. They're good for someone who doesn't want complete flats but still wants some height since they're still comfortable.

I got a size 7. I had to get the dude at the store to adjust the buckle so the size 7 would fit, since the store didn't sell a 6. I also got the white. It goes with everything. Except now the shoes are pretttty tight, but that's how they gotta be to fit. The only negative quality? They're a bit hard to walk in at first, and the buckle is really hard to adjust.

Once you get past those two little details however, they are fabulous.

Muumuus are greatly misunderstood. They are extremely comfortable and it feels like you're wearing nothing at all. How do I know this? I am wearing my very own muumuu, given to me by my mom, who got it from my aunt from Thailand. Sexy piece of purple and pink flowery fabric it is. If I were on my own computer I would upload a picture. It has a square neckline with a very slight ruffly sleeve (though it is sleeveless). It has a purple background with a giant pink leafy print on it. Oh who am I kidding. They're still ugly, despite their comfort. It's just so hot here in LA/Long Beach. Someone needs to make the muumuu work. Maybe Kate Moss.

Leave it to Homer Simpson to be able to pull it off.

And it's you and me in the summertime... Off topic, but I do enjoy this song by the Sundays. Very summery, feminine, and happy. Makes me kind of drift off and forget about everything. If that makes any sense.

... and we'll be hand in hand down in the park with a squeeze and a sigh and that twinkle in your eye...

all that sunshine banishes the dark

THERE ARE some things I can't help. Like biting my nails (I know I KNOW) or putting tons of butter on my waffles at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles (it's delicious). Another one I can't help is my love for Nicole Richie. I know she got all scary skinny, then plumped up a bit, and now is back to looking all Ethiopian-like, but I like her clothes. I can't help that. I don't care if Rachel Zoe helped her get out of her pink Uggs, long ratty extensions, and horrible poses. My love for her is unconditional.

So it's no surprise that I love this too:

Not sure about the sunglasses, but the high-waisted shorts over the bodysuit leotard thing and Louboutins I love. I haven't gotten myself any wide-legged jeans or high-waisted shorts/jeans yet, but it's on my list. I don't know how this would look on most other people, but she seems to be able to pull it off.

London Sole

A great alternative to Chanel ballet flats, if that's what tickles your fancy. Certainly tickles my fancy. They have several styles, and while they are much cheaper than Chanel's ballet flats, they are still priced around $155, depending on your choice of style. I like the simple ballet and the quilted as shown above.
