Summer is at our doorstep and that means dress season!!
I was recently shooting my MF at the LP, Lansdowne Place VLOG (posted every other Thursday on LP facebook page😉 and Ricki’s was sponsoring my outfit. I went into the store to pick something and I grabbed a few dresses to take with me to try on.
The sales lady, came back to the change room a few moments later and said “Michelle just try this, I think you will like it. I know it doesn’t look like much on the rack, but you will be surprised how great it is”.
Sure enough, she was spot on. I came out of the change room and my husband (who shoots my MF @ the LP VLOGS) turned and did the “WHOA” face. I said OK I’ll take it!
Loved my dress from Ricki’s today on my MF @the LP shoot with Lansdowne Place Mall 30% off too ??

The secret to that particular dress in my opinion is the secret to all great dresses which is three main things:
- COLOUR: It has to make a statement. It has to say something. Even when you wear a simple black dress, add some bling or colour.
I LOVE THIS COBALT BLUE COLOUR!
This dress is black, but I have raging red shoes on and a very blingy necklace;)
Watch this video for a great example of a great dress because of the colour! The dress I am wearing is from CLEO and it is ALL about the colour!!

- FIT: The dress has to fit you properly! We are all guilty of not getting the right size because we are caught up with numbers! Fit is critical to how it feels and looks! I have some dresses that are size 6 and some that are a size 10. The make and style matter and how it fits you NOT the “number” size!
This dress is Free People and I LOVE IT! Colour, fit and comfort!
Look at all my arm candy! These ladies are hot tamales! Joanna on the end does have a great dress under that jacket but IT WAS FREEZING THAT NIGHT!
- COMFORT: A woman in a great dress who is comfortable is a force to reckon with! When you feel good you look good. The swagger is emitted!
I got oodles of messages about this dress. I got it on a clearance rack at Winners about three years ago, but I had never worn it because I didn’t have the right occasion. It is the most amazing soft material and feels like I’m wearing PJ’s, so it definitely fits the “comfortable rule”. The designer is Dalia Collection. Shoes (which I LOVE) are from Spring.
I call it the “Carlton” dress now;) Yep, Alfonso Ribeiro surprised everyone as the emcee at the Mom 2.0 Iris Awards.
The other lesson I learned is to step out of your comfort zone and try something different. Take the sales rep suggestions and go for it. Some of the most boring rack dresses or outfits make the most stunning pieces on!
Happy dress shopping!
