Red Dress Shoppe=retro-inspired wonderland

There are many reasons why having a curvy, healthy body is awesome. Buying clothes is not always one of them. Tops won't button over boobs, your butt eats your skirts, and skinny jeans lend a sort of poofy-at-the-top, ostrich-ian effect. This is why I love stores like the Red Dress Shoppe, which offer loads of affordable, ladylike, retro-inspired styles that will actually fit your real, not-starving-yourself shape. Today, I'm totally loving its '30s and '40s dresses, which look at once summery, feminine, and vampy in a Black Dahlia sort of way.
