Body Conscious Style

I legit love dresses that celebrate a woman's bod and curves aka body con dresses. They are so flattering (yes they do amazing things for a gal's figure) and they're so fun. Lately, the market has been saturated with a slew of ‘wannabe' bandage dresses that don’t hold things in quite as nice or suck you in (for lack of a better word) no thanks to the flimsy fabrics embraced for mass production and maximum profit. Some of them make the already thin line between sexy and trashy a tad more obvious.
Hey screw that, I rock those too, paired with heels and huge doses of confidence.
Hello Vegas nights!

This trend championed by designer Herve Leger prevailed in the 90's and has stood the test of time. So much so it should probably be considered a staple and no longer a trend. They are so effing hot and I am a fan of this edgy style. Especially of this one with fanned out sleeves, a deep v neck and a partial peplum. The best part was I could still eat and God knows I love my food.
And I could still breath, Ha!

Do you love bandage dresses? Or do you think they are so 5 minutes ago? Did you rock them back when they had a huge presence and were almost overdone? I have quite a few and plan to keep wearing them. 

I paired this iconic bandage dress with open toe sandals that didn’t quite hold up in the comfort department. So much for picking out heels low enough to stomp around in. A peach blazer warded off a mild chill while visiting the Golden Gate Park Conservatory of Flowers with a friend and and and I just had to show my pixie some love. Gosh I missed it! I love the whole long hair thing too but this is my signature. 

Happy weekend folks! 

The first and second weeks of school have me so exhausted still. It's all I can do to to stay up till 7pm each day. I’m loving my kiddos though, all 26 of them. We've been focusing on activities that foster cohesion as we build our classroom community so we can have a fun year of learning. Some are very enthusiastic about school, others not so much. 

Criers and runners are real y'all, LOL. #iteachk
