Men won’t stop writing songs about women in dresses. Just like.. all the time. Have you noticed? This week, I’m basing my outfits on songs.

Here are my songs:

Devil with a Blue Dress- Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels

Black and Yellow – Wiz Khalifa

Red Dress – Motion City Soundtrack

Long cool woman (in a black dress) – The Hollies

Short skirt, Long Jacket – Cake

 

I believe it’s pretty clear the inspiration for each outfit.

 

Monday: Devil with a Blue Dress

This song talks about a woman wearing pearls and diamond rings. I purposely chose a kind of jazzed up necklace to match the feel of that lyrics. They also mention her wearing an alligator hat. Not only do I not own one, I’m not entirely sure what that is? So I probably didn’t perfectly match the song with this outfit.

Tuesday: Black and Yellow

As Wiz Khalifa so eloquently states in the song: “I’ma bumble bee lit up like a Christmas tree”. This is my only song that is not specifically a man writing about a woman in a particular article or articles of clothing. But because of the name, it felt very appropriate to use for this week’s theme.

Wednesday: Red Dress

There are actually several songs called Red Dress. And several songs about women wearing red. I could have chosen any number of songs to relate back to this dress appropriately. I chose Motion City Soundtrack’s song because I like them. That’s the primary reason, really.

 Dress: J.Crew, Shoes: Sorel, Necklace: J.Crew

 

Thursday: Long cool woman in a black dress

The Hollies even state the height of the woman this song is about. She’s 5’9”. I come in just barely under 5’9”, but I’m going to count it and say this song fits me and my outfit perfectly.

 Dress: Daisy Street, Street: Lulu’s

 

 

Friday: Short Skirt, Long Jacket

One of the things that I like about this song is that the lyrics actually speak to the personality of the woman it’s about. Lots of songs I looked at for this week’s theme were 100% about what a specific woman was wearing and how she looked. Cake is very into this lady’s brain and boss power which I really enjoy.
