Not Just A Tea Dress

Good morning! For some reason they call a certain dress a tea dress. And a certain pair of pants are called cigarette pants. I still haven't researched why. For now, I'll share an example of each. And you'll probably want to buy them!

These high-waisted pants look similar to skinny jeans, but dressier. If you're anti-skirt and pro-tuxedo, this is for you! They're stretchy, but sizes are severely limited. :(

This Audrey swing dress is so cute, as plaid never ever ever goes out of style. Ever. If you go to a school that requires plaid, this can be layered over a white blouse. Lindy Bob recommends adding a red or black petticoat that I would probably include.

Like it? Got it? Share the pictures! Again, for your safety do not allow location tracking on your camera. Ciao, bellas!

Dress To Impress!

It's that time of the year for high school seniors worldwide: college application time! So, for the dolls that have interviews coming up, I'd say it's important to look professional, yet awesome. Of course, peplum tops and pencil skirts are an easy choice, because that's what got me into my school. But Lindy Bop has other equally cute dresses and shoes! And if you thought I was gonna let you go without accessories from Unique Vintage, think again!

 The Tiffany Wiggle Dress is simply dashing, and is very easily converted into the perfect date night dress! Goldie Dogtooth shoes are also work-to-dinner shoes, and dogtooth patterns are my favorite!Go check them out  here

The Minelli Mary Janes  come in one color: Wine. But hey, they look amazing against a black dress like the Deanna wiggle dress!

Jewelry should be understated for interviews, as should your purse (besides, giant logos are a no-no.) and hair accessories.  A simple headband or a really nifty hairstyle should work, or the admissions rep will be focused on your noggin. 

This black and gold purse is simple yet stunning, and also has enough space for important stuff such as your resume or some comfy footwear. These adorable anchor earrings or these lovely bangles are equally simple, but don't EVER wear more than one bangle to an interview. 

Who says you can't be smart and pretty? If you wear any of these, show them off in the comments or send them to me on Google+! Please make sure that there is no location tracker before you post (safety first!).

Quick Hair!

Good morning! Let me guess: You're in a hurry and you're just skimming through this post. And you've still got to do your hair. If this is true, stop skimming so I can help you with your hair.

De-tangle, comb, tease, brush, spray, put in ponytail, add a bandanna or headband, and go! If you need to look professional, use a headband. If not, either one is fine! Alternately, skip the accessories (esp. if you can't fold your bandanna right just yet.).

If you have curlers in right now, just spray your hair, remove the curlers and you're done!

Anything else, dolls? Post it in the comments (and be nice. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all!)

Tips for Curvy Dolls

Hey, dolls! I'm outta the hospital, and totally not dead.

This question has haunted the modern pin-up girl for years: How the heck do I dress for my body shape? This is especially hard for a girl with a big butt like mine! So what's a curvy chick to do? Go with any style that gives the illusion of an hourglass! If you're bottom heavy, wear a padded bra (my secret weapon!). If you're top heavy, try a swing skirt or padded skirt.

The weapon of choice for most dolls with a curvy middle? The corset!! It doesn't have to be ugly and boring. Head to Corset Story and find a gorgeous colorful one!

Don't care for the "ideal" body, fat bottomed girls? Grab a pencil skirt and show off those hips!!!

Of course no matter what your shape, you're a doll! Show it off in the comments (please turn off your location tracker for your safety.)!
