In case you still don’t know what to wear tomorrow (or just want to look at a pretty pink dress), I came across the perfect one this weekend from BCBG. I saw it from a distance and thought, wow that is so pink and pretty! Naturally I just HAD to try it on.
I love the simple design, I love the soft pink color (even though it made me look a bit pallid, I guess pale pink is not my color) and I love the pretty pink girly bow at the back. At first, I thought out of all the dresses on the rack, I’d pick one that was defective. But after examining the rest of the rack, I realized that the bow at the back (right) was deliberately askewed. Initially that didn’t sit well with me, but after staring at the picture for a while I think the crookedness is growing on me. There is just something about imperfection that makes it perfect.
For those of you that don’t have something quite that formal to go to (seriously, who does?), you can still look pretty in pink make-up. I came across this make-up video by Michelle Phan and I am seriously impressed. I always thought pink eye shadow would make me look like someone punched me, but by adding some brown, it looks very pretty on her. I’ve also never been a fan of make-up videos because I can never see the difference, but I can totally see it here. She also has THE most soothing voice ever (she must be Taiwanese or something). I am now tempted to go out and buy a pink Stila palette!
Happy Valentine’s Ladies!

Comment by S.Elisabeth February 15, 2009 @ 10:21 amI’m so glad that you started a new blog because i miss I am Fashion sooo much!! I followed it for almost 2 years. I really like this new one though, very entertaining.
Comment by Helovesmenot February 15, 2009 @ 12:13 pmI love that pale pink color… I have a pair of ballet heels that match it perfectly.
Comment by roxy February 15, 2009 @ 10:21 pmOooh I love the dress. I think pink dresses can look a little hyper-girly sometimes, but the color and cut of this one is absolutely perfect!
Comment by Darragh February 15, 2009 @ 11:50 pmaw i wish they had that dress in a slightly darker pink…
Comment by Lucy February 16, 2009 @ 1:40 amand michelle phan is actually vietnamese
Firstly, that dress is the perfect shade of ballerina pink (which admittedly doesn’t look good with my skin either, but it’s still so pretty). Secondly, thank you for introducing me to Michelle Phan’s videos – they’re interesting and fun to watch
And finally, congratulations on a blog that extends beyond what I am Fashion covered and is very enjoyable and ascetically pleasing.
