Drop Everything





I was thrilled, to say the least, when drop-waist dresses became popular again.  I love the slight vintage feel this shape has & I’m a big fan of the way they can elongate the torso, making even the most vertically-challenged (or short-waisted) appear tall & lean.  This houndstooth style pretty much fulfills all my requirements – flattering, comfortable, on-trend…plus the fabric is a slightly thicker knit, so it’s an ideal choice for those sunny but crisp fall days.  {Great news: London Times is offering 20% off their entire site exclusively for PPF readers.  Just use code PPF20 at checkout – good through November 11th!}

What I’m wearing:

c/o London Times dress (here), Mossimo pumps (here), Necklaces: Forever 21 (similar) & Zara (here), ASOS clutch (on sale here + extra 10% off with code MEGA10), Lips: L’Oreal Infallible Red Fatale, Nails: Sally Hansen Nail Strips Tweed Le-Dee

    Love how you layered your necklace! I have yet to try the drop waist dress – I am afraid it will make me look short legged and hippy.

    I love the vintage look of a drop waist dress! Because I'm on the shorter side, I have to be mindful of where the "drop" falls. Love your version!

    Hi Star,

    My hair is naturally curly, so I just let it dry this way and then scrunched it a little. You can get the same effect with a 1" barrel curling iron & wrapping sections around (without using the clamp)! 🙂

    Beautiful dress. Love this trend but I wonder if it flatters a curvy body because some clothes don´t really look good on everyone, I really like the style but I don't think it would work on me.
