This week’s Fashion Find Friday is Bubble Skirts

Bubble skirts are difficult to figure out. They have the ability to be cute, sophisticated and stylish or frumpy and disheveled depending on the length, color and who wears them. I’ve seen a few bubble skirts that work perfectly, and look really nice - but I’ve seen many more that are quite frankly disastrous! Here’s a look at a few:

This could easily be the most hideous bubble skirt of them all.  I unfortunately don’t know the brand or “designer” but there’s a number of things I don’t like about this skirt.  The skirt is much too puffy at the bottom and would resemble a huge diaper.  The colours and pattern reminds me of an 80’s workout suit.  While it is an amusing, erm, piece of attire I don’t think it works, at all!

The bubble skirt above is much different.  For one, it is a safer solid brown colour as opposed to a technicolor mashup (see first).  The skirt is also longer in length and the “puff” less obvious.  Some would say this skirt is boring, but I personally like it and think this is the only way bubble skirts do work nicely - toned down and understated!

This third bubble skirt is a nice compromise between the two.  It’s a satin black that is a bit more dramatic then the brown but is still tasteful.  The little bows throughout add interest and are super cute.  The bottom is definitely defined but somehow works, I think because of the length of the skirt.  I could definitely see this skirt dressed up with some black stockings and a nice top.  I think this is my favourite of the two (I’m not even acknowledging the first one from now on )

What is your opinion on the three bubble skirts featured today?  Do you like bubble skirts in general?  Why or why not?  Do you own any yourself?  Please share your tastes and if you liked this, please help me out by stumbling my FFF series!  Thanks

For many years I used Pears soap, by default because it’s my mother’s favourite soap so it was always available.  About a year ago I tried Dove’s beauty bar in the “Cucumber and Green tea” scent but the scent was too murky for my liking.  I also tried their original beauty bar but the scent was WAY too overpowering!

But recently I tried the “Grapefruit and Lemongrass” scent and I love it.  The smell is fantastic without being sickening, and the soap actually contains tiny exfoliating beads.  Of course not everyone would like the exfoliation but personally I do.  I should also mention I have sensitive skin and this soap doesn’t irritate or dry it out.  I definitely recommend this product for anyone who loves an citrus-like, invigorating scent because you will be smelling like it!  Even my mom, who usually thinks most scents are too overpowering, likes this soap’s fragrance.

I think I’ve found my favourite soap, at least for the meantime!
