The Demoiselles

First thing’s first: sweater dresses don’t have to be frumpy.  It may take a little extra cash – or waiting for the right sale – but a well-made, well-fitted sweater dress can remain a winter staple for years.  Jen bought one a year ago, and happily pulled it out of her closet last week for [...]

Sometimes, we just don’t care about our figures.
You heard us right: sometimes we don’t care that we’re hourglass figures.  Sometimes we feel like straight up and down girls, or pear-shaped, or apples.  Occasionally, we may even want to look…triangular.
Because that’s what clothes are supposed to do, right?
A good article of clothing not only accentuates your [...]

Shoe-regret is one of the worst feelings in the world. Particularly if you’re an avid online shopper, scouring for deals, and get a pair of shoes that are gorgeous, perfect… and way too small. What are you going to do with them? You can’t hand them back to anyone, you just have to sit and [...]

Let’s travel back in time, to approximately two years ago, and eavesdrop on an argument a conversation between Jennifer and Elle…
Elle: Well, I like them.
Jennifer: I just…I can’t get down with them, Elle.  They’re…they’re…
Elle: Don’t say it.
Jennifer: They’re tapered pants.
Elle: They’re totally different. They’re not cut the same as those atrocities from the eighties.
Jennifer: They’re totally the [...]

Are we all ready for some mixed feelings? Rompers – half childhood past time (emphasis on past…) and half potentially sexy, gamine summer piece. How are we supposed to feel about this? Nostalgic? Excited? Childlike? I think most of us are just confused, and are erring on the side of “ew”.
At least that’s how we [...]

The last ten years have been a trend-watching blur: we’ve seen almost every decade resurface for at least a brief moment before slowly fading away.  The current, high-controversy era in our midst is the late 1980s.  Only being in our mid-twenties, the eighties are an era we Demoiselles spent little time in, and truth be [...]

How brave are you?  Now that white denim is back in fashion, that question has arisen in the mind of many a fashion-loving woman:

What can I wear it with?
Will it make me look fat?
What if I spill something?
What style is best for my body?

This trend has been on the Demoiselles’ radar [...]

To clarify, I’m short. I’m the kind of girl that needs every pair of jeans altered, whether it’s so she doesn’t trip over herself or because she wants to finally be able to wear flats without ruining the hem of her pants.  I’m the kind of girl that wears “ankle length” jeans with heels; the [...]

Here at The Demoiselles, we discuss almost every trend that comes across the board.  By doing this, I’ve come to realize I have this very anti-hipster attitude when it comes to style.  I’m not into the shade sunglasses (they have them at Topshop and they’re overpriced + overrated if you ask me).  I think it’s [...]
