Drop it like it's hot, ladies. Yep, I said it. I meant it. But, I'm talking about drop waists and not dance moves. Top buttons, peter pan collars, pleats, polka dots and now drop waisted dresses...Could the fashion world get anymore preppy?

It has so been so interesting to watch the fashion industry take on a dual personality promoting ladylike and preppy trends such as the ones mentioned above, but also pushing leather, spikes and neon. I suppose fashion is still in love with the whole "hard and soft" concept. But back to drop waists...

They are in style, and if you have a boy-ish figure embrace the trend. For those of us that have curves on top or on bottom or both, it may not be the best look for your body shape.

Check out these lovely dresses I found for purchase by some of our favorite brands...
