The Art Of Drapery: Part 2.1

In the Art of Drapery Part Deux I talked about Rachel Roy's wonderful designs that incorporate pleats and draped styles. Well, as promised, I shall showcase my very first Rachel Roy dress. I wore this dress while hosting a friend's bridal shower. This was a gift given to me from the parental unit :)

With 'Lil Ripp (to your left), My Dress: Rachel Roy Acropolis Dress

 Madame Roy's dresses are wonderful, but I am also a huge fan of BCBG dresses. Their designs incorporate the right amount of pleating that helps accentuate my out of control curves. I wore this black dress while presenting my project at the NIH.

Dress: BCBG, Cardigan: H&M

Food for thought: "My dressing style at a presentation is reflective of how well I know or don't know the topic in hand. One of these days, I might as well show up in a ball gown and talk about a completely foreign topic."  ~ Stolen from a post-doctorate fellow at my department.
