I love mini dresses. I’m wearing one right now in fact—with opaque tights of course, since I’m at work. But micro minis can be a little much, especially when the dress has a chest-exposing sweetheart neckline. Isabel Marant tried to make her animal print micro mini wearable by styling it with a blazer. It worked on Erin Wasson, but who has thighs like that?

The ruffle trend is continuing into spring. And anything goes: big, small, sheer, structured, tiered, you name it. So take a frill ride at the sales racks. After Christmas, I fell in love with this ruffled mini from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s line.
For winter, I’ve gone downtown chic by layering it with a boyfriend blazer and opaque tights. But when it gets warm, I want to show off the chiffon ruffles. I’ve accessorized with gold but I’m also planning to brighten it up with neon once I find an affordable substitute for Manolo’s to-die-for sandals.
