-If you agree with my post on moving on from graphic tees, my fellow style blogger Phoebe over at stylecapsulate has a great post on embellished tees. Embellished tees are great if you want the simplicity of a tee, but want some more style oomph. She also has some amazing Polyvores in the section called The Closet. Be sure to give those a look if you need some ideas.
-If you're not sure what a Polyvore is, it's a website that allows you to make images that are similar to a digital scrapbook page. It's mostly used for putting together pictures of outfits from different websites, but a lot of people use it for other artistic pursuits as well. Here's a quick example:
This was just a quick something I came up with, a simple look for a date night. I kept the accessories simple because the dress has a lot going on, between the one shoulder, rose print, and ruffled skirt. I added nude fishnets to give the outfit a little bit of an edge and keep it from being too sweet.-I bought one of those "As Seen On TV" thingys called a Shoe Under. It's nothing new, just a regular shoe keeper for under the bed with a catchy name. Here's my review in one word: meh. I wear a size 11 shoes, and this thing barely fits my flats. It's made out of that same fabric that all the reusable grocery bags are, and there is no structure to it. When you see the pictures of it, it looks sturdy, but there's nothing that makes it stiff.
When I got mine, it was a hot crumpled mess. It still hasn't "ironed" itself out, and I did this three weeks ago. If I really feel like overacheiving anytime soon, I may make some inserts from cardboard to help stabilize it.
