Fashion Smashion

So I kind of have like zero fashion sense. I mean I know what looks good and what doesn't. And I'm defintely vain, I like looking in the mirror and sometimes I even like picking out my outfit. However, as far as the latest trends or being daring in the closet, well it's just not me. A while back shortly before I got diagnosed with lymphoma, I decided that collars were going to be my thing. I loved this dress for example:

It was simple, yet classic and with a collar.

Because of some my scarring I can't have my neck/collarbone area showing too much, at least not for a year - so that the scars will heal better. Thus my fashion sense before cancer has morphed into a real functional need to find clothes that cover me. I just found this site, shabby apple, and they make the kind of dresses I love, slightly old fashioned but inventive and fun - plus their whole philosophy is about the dress being a one stop outfit, without the need for cardigans or tank tops to cover your self up. I'm very shy about the way my arms look, so I tend to look for dresses with sleeves, simple right? Actually, not as simple as you think, because of this I went to my prom in a horrible light blue puff monstrosity, where was the awesome internet then? Also whenever I purchase dresses, I always need to make sure I have cardigan underneath, otherwise the girls get a little too much exposure. And I don't like to be the kind of girl who has to rely on her rack to get attention, although I've been known to flaunt it from time to time. Anyhoo, if you are girl and even the tinsiest bit into dresses I recommend their website and as soon as I lose two dress sizes (and I will) I will probably purchase a dress from them.
