Comfort & Fashion At The LA Zoo Wearing Karina Dresses

March 27, 2014 by Momstart 3 Comments

I still really love my Karina Dresses. I’ve put on more weight, traveling is killing my attempts at dieting. I just get so hungry when I travel, but the bright colors and fit of the dresses really makes me feel slender like in this photo I took at the LA Zoo. We spent two hours walking around the LA zoo and it was a hot day but in my dress I felt breezy and cool and stylish.

Some might even say I was overdressed but to me I just felt comfortable and pretty.

The sunshine in LA was amazing, it felt so good to be out in the sun and walking around. This dress that I had on was the Sophie, and I have to say it’s one of my favorites. It fist a little on the short side so I wear leggings with it but I adore it.

I would love to try the Penelope 3/4 sleeve in Floral now available in the Karina Dress Spring Line:

criss-cross v-front, small gathers on front and back bodice, waistband with pleated skirt, pockets

X/S fits sizes 0-4

S/M fits sizes -6-10

M/L fits sizes 12-16

X/L fits sizes 18-20

machine wash cool, hang dry, no ironing ever needed!

Dresses Inspired By Oz The Great and Powerful: Movie Fashion #DisneyOzEvent

January 14, 2013 by Momstart 7 Comments

I’m excited to be walking the red carpet again and the buzz on the yellow brick road is that the gown color to go with is of course emerald green. As much as I adore the color and already have a suitable dress in that shade, I don’t want to wear the same color as everyone else. So I spent hours last night looking at dresses and what I would like to wear down the red carpet. (I have a feeling it will be a yellow brick road instead of the red carpet so it’s going to be extra special requiring an extra special dress).

Let’s first take a look at some scenes from the movie shall we?

When small-time magician Oscar Diggs (James Franco) pulls one flimflam too many, he finds himself hurled into the fantastical Land of Oz where he must somehow transform himself into the great wizard—and just maybe into a better man as well.

So as you can see all the colors are so bright and vivid. Any color would work as a fashionable choice, the styles of clothing are big and grand. I think Jackets are going to be big and dresses with colors and large shoulders, but accessories your shoulders do not wear shoulder pads. I love how the Wicked Witch’s dress has pointy shoulders out to the side. So as I was looking at dresses last night these are my finds. I made a whole pin board for it. Oz the Great and Powerful Dresses.

I think this dress is my favorite dress, it has the emerald green in it but also a few other colors making it very rich and colorful. Reminds me of the scene with the munchkins.

Now here are a few dresses with the larger shoulders or black; bad witch inspired.

I’m also getting a feeling that dresses that are flowing and drapery on the figure are going to big. I love all of these off the shoulder dresses.

I picked a few that remind me of a tornado too.

What do you think? Do you like any of these dresses and what should I wear? Do any of these dresses look like they are inspired by the movie Oz the great and powerful?
