Rock it With Jason and the Argonauts
Prom was last saturday but I'll never forget the white dress (left) that my best friend almost wore instead of the pink halter that she ended up with (which was still gorgeous). Me and my other friend, Carly, forced her to buy it becuase it looked so damn good on her but she insisted on not wearing it because it looked like a toga.Which is complete lunacy, but that's not my point.
After it was decided that yes, the dress would not be worn, Carly and I couldn't stop talking about it and noticed everything that had even the slightest ancient Greek/Roman influences. So, this is my Greek post.
Greek is next big thing. Well, we hope considering we've had embarrassingly long discussions about it. Take the Alexander McQueen Ready to Wear Spring Summer 06 collection (green dress on the right) for example. You can look at the complete collection at Style.com. Not only is it very 90's but many of the pieces fit right in with what I was talking about earlier.
And, of course, no one can forget how trendy gladiator sandals where a while ago. Well, the braided leather is back but now it's not nearly as annoying. Then again, everyone and their mom has sandals like
that now. And I'm not exagerating. These (left. DUH!) are from Urban Outfitters and are $28.Of course, there is a huge amount of ancient Greek and Roman influenced clothes out there, it's just hard to find them on the internet. And by hard I mean I'm way to tired to think about doing that now.
Next time you think about dissmissing a dress because it looks like a toga think of me. AHEM.
Edit: THOSE ARE NOT GLADIATOR SANDLES. I know they are out of style (I would also like to point out that I have been chastised before for being to trendy and now people are pissed at me for showing something supposedly uncool). Have you seen gladiator sandles? These are a different variation. I personally hate gladiator sandles but the ones I showed are cute and summery. Perfect for walking to the beach. I obviously am not good at expressing myself sometimes.

I LOVE that toga style dress ur friend is wearing. The only thing is that gladiator sandals are sort of OUT.NO offense.
togas went out of style for a reason and everyone has gladiator sandals....no thank you
i love the greek/roman style. i was a goddess for halloween because i wanted to have an excuse to wear a fab white toga dress i had just bought <33
I agree with Geisha, I <3 the dress, but the sandals are so out!!! Especially the black rope stuff...ewwwww, I hope you do a better post next time for shoes.really.
Leith, ur blog is sooooo cool, I really love it!
U post un-expensive things unlike Geisha over there who has put $600+
shoes!!!
SHESHOULD'VEWORNIT!
uh...yeah, I like the green dress. It's cute and maybe I'm taking crazy pills but I like the idea of layering a white beater under it to make it more casual.
I like Carly's idea. But I'd have to see it :] THANK GOD FOR FINALLY UPDATING. i was going luny. Anywyas, I really like the color of the dress, and I completely agree I hate gladiator sandals, but those are cute. They have potential. Although I have a thing about completely flat shoes (which those are).. and they bother me a tad, but I think I could deal.
<3
Where was the pink halter dress from?
Today's my birthday, and I'm really glad you updated today! Love the bloG!
Weird, I did a Greek theme post on my blog the other day too!!
Thanks for noticing the great style!
I love your friend's dress, but not those particular sandals.
Love the green one too!
Please visit my site-click on my name!
I definitely agree with you! My prom dress looked very Grecian.
Geisha, I have no clue!! It was probably Nordstrom's or something like that. I'll ask her next time I talk to her.
THANKS
<3

Mulan

i don't care that much for the grecian sandals (just not my style), and the dress us pretty. but a bit average, i think (don't claw at me for that remark please!) i do luv ur blog, tho!
<333
She looks great.
i personally love those sandals! leather sandals are just so easy to slip on with jeans and it looks great.
i know this probably is gonna make me sound like an idiot but, what is a beater again????
also, now that i look at those sandals, they are really not bad at all.
Who give a crap if something is "liek, sooo out". You know what is a lot more lame than being out of style? Having trends dictate what you wear!!
i was just wondering if you could help me find the dress that Marissa wore to prom on The OC...i know that it's chanel..but i cant find it anywhere...i want to get it made for my prom...thanks a bunch
HI AMANDA!!!
Hey Leith, sometimes i love your stuff, other times, i really don't like em at all. But, i think your site is cool, and i've made my own because it looks like fun, check it out!--- www.gowithanopenmind.blogspot.com
Hollaaa! :)
Leith i think you are cocky, over the top, stupid, and really really have bad taste. Vera Bradly? Yeah, ugly stuff, but some preppy little teenager who just saved up for one is crying now cause u made her feel bad! Honestly, suggestions Leith! And if your going to sate an opinion, be nice about it, Not "EVIL" "VERA BRANDLY SHOUL GO THE WAY OF MY DEAD DOG BWAHAHAHA1"
also, Brenanananaaanananannaafrkslfdjlds, she is one crazy %$#%$! I mean, its on thing to be sarcastic but shes just plain mean. I guess you guys are a perfect match.
Ur cocky. Blah.
I know what your going to say, that if i dont like ur site, i should just leave, but i needed to let that our and let u know that you are not 1/2 the person u think you are. Amen!
True dat^^^^^^^^^
aww i hate catty fights ... but im totally loving the greek/roman trend ... im hoping i can find some sweet stuff like that around my place!!! [think hickville with no malls at all]
thanks for the awesome blog!
HELLO
will someone listen to me?????
what is a beater?????!!!!
hey anonymous, i found something about that dress!!!
it is not chanel, the pearls she has on are chanel but not the dress.
the dress is actually BCBG.for sure, im positive.
Actually, Geisha, the dress is not from BCBG, atleast from what I can tell from the website (And I've been to one of the BCBG stores and they didnt' have it). However, anonymous, The O.C.'s website has some pretty decent pictures.
honestly... dont you have a life? and quite honestly, i'm pretty sure its not fashion or clothes.
NOOOOO
Actually it's not Chanel it IS BCBG. i looked it up in a reliable website and it definetly IS. you should check ur resources better.
like REALLY!!!!!
and not to be catty but ur website isn't THAT good. it's okey-dokey.
hey, anonymous i think leith's blog is REALLY good, from one fashion blogger to another.
and leith, maybe ur right but im like 99.9% positive it is BCBG, but really u never know.
check in ur linklist
Iamfashion.blogspot.com
for the oc post and it shows the mischa prom dress saying its BCBG.
i really can't even believe this crap going on here, but anonymous? whoever you are? leith doesn't HAVE to help you out. she DOES have a life. so instead of being so damn ungrateful, you could THANK HER instead of telling her to CHECK HER RESOURCES BETTER. (don't you mean SOURCES? yeah.) and THEN criticizing her blog. damn!
People who can't disagree without insulting you? They are L-O-S-E-R-S! That's the technical name for it! Get it?
I am new to the world of fashion blogging. I Love your site.Check out this spine tingling site. I saved 70% on designer wear. Awesome shopping! Hot cars included.
