We asked: Are Dresses with Pockets In or Out?
You said:They’re In! 72% of you voted these functional fashions In, and only 20% voted them Out. The remaining 8% voted Dresses with Pockets On the Way Out.
Omiru’s take: Dresses are The Hot Silhouette for Fall, so it pleases us that you appreciate the combination of fashion and function as much as we do. This trend has been floating around for awhile; we first reported on Dresses with Pockets back in February. But though the trend has been in circulation for months, it’s far from falling from favor. Wear Dresses with Pockets to work, paired with a blouse (pictured). Or wear the trend to your next evening Gala. Amy Adams and Maggie Gyllenhall, and Sandra Bullock all sported pocketed styles at the Emmys! What could be chicer?
Next Question: As Summer fades into Fall, we’re switching out our sandals for boots. Tall boots. But what do you
think? Tell us, are Tall Boots In, or are they Out? Cast your
vote on the sidebar!

Designer Betsi Goutal is tickled by how cute and cheerful the bunnies are on her Bunny Jewel ring.
So, go on, add a bit of cheer to your day. Pair the Bunny Jewel ring with a cute print tee and jeans for a dressed down look, or a big fluffy skirt, romantic top, and colorful necklaces for a fairy princess look.
Bet you didn’t know: When Betsi was very young, Mother Nature blessed her with rainbows in the sky over her street for two or three birthdays in a row. When her next birthday rolled around rainbow-free, she was so disappointed that she’s not sure she’s ever recovered.
$5 each at Zlanarama.

Even if you’re not enrolled in school, you can still look like a fashionable school-girl with the right outfit. Since you’d rather look like you’re heading to lunch than the library, pair your mini plaid jumper with chunky pumps instead of flats. And if you want to avoid looking like Britney Spears in her "Baby One More Time" video, stay far away from tummy-revealing tops by choosing a turtleneck instead. Soon, you’ll be the most stylish gal on campus - er, street.
