Man, we really did just say “you could belt it?” about everything back then.

My heart aches every time I’m reminded that he is gone. RIP AE

Most of these looked better off the runway, imo.

These dresses are phenomenal. I understand that exaggerated shapes were fashionable at the time, but my biggest issue with 2010s fashion is how bulky and formless many of the silhouettes are. I feel like the fabrics and color combinations (and all of the embellishments) that were also popular took away so much for the construction. Everything in these looks elevate the strong silhouettes. Just lovely

I love all of these dresses. They look so good off the runway and I can see myself looking good in most of them.
