Blogger Spotlight #7: Effie's Dress

Meet Effie of Effie's Dress

Picture




There's something you need to know about Effie: she is hardcore. This girl is dark and jagged with a bittersweet center. A girl after my own heart, really. Hehe. :D

Thus, you'll find that Effie's styles are edgy. Kind of punk rock chic, I would say. Even her softer, more feminine outfits have a dark lining to them. Try to imagine putting a ring of delicate flowers on a crown of thorns. In my mind, that's Effie in all her glory.


She may not even see herself in that light, but that's how I view her. She's a total bad ass.

Picture





Reading Effie's blog makes me want to just give into my dark side and wear my tougher styles more often. I just don't think I could handle it as well as she does.

Effie wears leather, animals prints and studs like a second skin.


In case, you haven't already noticed, I am totally enamored with this Chicago native's tough as nails style; and I highly recommend checking out her blog
! Despite my portrayal of Effie, you should know that she is incredibly sweet and really easy going. She won't bite. I promise!

Check her out on
Facebook and Instagram, too!
Rock on, Effie!

Your Brights Are On

I'm wearing my red coat, again. I know! Hush! ;D
I tried a dark green coat and a grey coat and, in the end, I just felt like the red one looked best. It really brightens up the whole outfit and I wanted to be super colorful on this overcast, bitterly cold (-20°F to be exact o_O) and highly depressing afternoon.

This will be a short post since the only new thing I'm wearing is this plaid dress from my sponsor, Sammydress. You've seen the scarf in this post and the leggings in this post, among others. I could have worn plain colored leggings, but I wanted to push the envelop a bit with mixing colors and prints.

This is my second time wearing this navy vintage blazer. It's the best ever! I love that it's oversized. I don't know why I'm getting into grandma sweaters and grandpa blazers these days.
Could it be the comfort factor? I really like loose fitting clothing as opposed to skin tight thingies. I lounge in loose clothes at home, so why not do it when I leave? Heh. I could be shy..or lazy..or just not all that fond of everyone seeing my muffin top after having eaten half a pizza and quaffed two to three rum and cokes.

Anyway, I digress. You guys, check out this shirt dress! When I saw this one-size item on a rather lithe and quite short model in the product photos, I expected it to be tight across the chest and much shorter than a dress should be. So, you can imagine my pleasant surprise when the dress ended up being just long enough to cover my backside (I'm 5'9") and just a wee bit snug in the shoulders. It was perfect!
The material is thick, sturdy and quite warm (though I wore two tops underneath, with one of those being a thermal and it still fit comfortable in the chest area). The deer design on the chest is printed on a material that is different from the rest of the dress. It's hard to describe, but it's very much like sock material. It's really cute and the lace hem is darling. The lace trim looks so nice peeking out from underneath a short coat and I think the color scheme is so cheery and festive for winter. ^_^

I wish I could have gotten better close up shots of the hem and the deer print, but after about 30 minutes, I started to feel like a human icicle, so...yeah. Haha. The product photos will have to do for now. Originally, I had planned to use the dress as a layering tool, because the print extends to the collar making it perfect underneath sweaters. The lace hem would add an interesting twist underneath a plain colored skirt of the right length. I really had no intention of wearing it by itself, but I felt that I would be doing a great injustice if I didn't show the dress in its entirety this one time. So there you go! ^_^

Oh and I DID say this post would be short, right? I could have sworn....hmm..... >_<
