Two years ago, on this date, the doors opened. The Dress Diaries was born out of necessity and a mission to be inclusive to every person. These past two years have been filled with countless wonderful memories. I never imagined I would have the opportunity to meet, dress and empower so many amazing people!! If you’re reading this, you are probably one of those people, and to simply say “thank you” never seems like enough. We’ve had ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade a single moment for anything!! So thank you for allowing us to be your dress destination and for allowing us to be part of your lives!! These moments and interactions have enriched my life in immeasurable ways!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #secondbirthday #secondanniversary #twoyearsdown #manymoretocome #thankful #grateful #blessed
Well, we may be stuck inside for a little while when Delta visits, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have something beautiful to look at!! Enjoy these new gowns and suits while you’re hunkered down!! Everyone in South Louisiana, please stay safe!! •
•
We will be closed on Friday, October 8 due to the expected hurricane. Regular hours should resume Saturday, but we will keep everyone updated!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #hurricaneprep #newarrivals #homecoming2020 #homecomingdress #homecomingsuit #pageant #prom #hotpink #skyblue #blackandwhite #staysafe #shoplocal #shopsmallbusiness #louisianaproud
The power is back and so is all the fabulous!! Regular hours resume today and will continue going forward. Delta who??
The Dress Diaries will be closed Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11. Regular hours will resume on Monday, October 12. The store did not sustain any damage, but we are having power issues. We hope everyone is safe and doing well!! See y’all Monday!!! 💗💗💗
Yes, we are FALL-ing for new short styles as well!! A deep rust fitted bell sleeve (with a little stretch). And a navy blue tricot one sleeve with shoulder accent and fitted silhouette!! We can do simple styles too...so everyone can look FABULOUS for Fall!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #homecoming2020 #homecomingdress #newarrivals #fallingforfall #shortdress #stayfabulous
Is anyone else feeling these Fall vibes??!?! Long gowns from Tarik Ediz in a decadent chocolate brown with beading throughout and an iridescent crinkle chiffon overskirt with train!! Also, a navy blue lace with mesh illusion neckline, cap sleeves and detachable taffeta overskirt!! Both of these gowns have us feeling all warm and fuzzy inside!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #tarikediz #fellingfall #fallvibes #chocolatebrown #navyblue #browndress #pageantdress
People say that life isn’t rainbows and unicorns. We disagree. Show out in an iridescent opal fitted sequin number. Or shine bright in electric purple sequins with a V-neck and corset back. And show your glow in a mauve pink boucle jacket and matching skirt (or pair it with black like we did. We will also change the buttons.) Unicorns. Rainbows. Sequins. Color. Light. Love. That’s wearing your story!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #homecoming2020 #homecomingdress #homecomingsuit #sequins #rainbows #unicorns
Somebody bring me some DRAMA!! From chic and sleek to fun and flirty...these gowns are everything!!! Fresh off the runway from Pronovias, a long sleeved scuba crepe with beaded detailing on the shoulders and button cuffs. From Jovani, a long black scuba with detachable feather sleeves!! OMG!! And a fully sequined ivory sheath with tonal off-shoulder feathers and sweep train. All three gowns are available in other colors as well. This is just a little preview of all the fabulous that’s still yet to come!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #dressdrama #newarrivals #feathers #sequins #drama #shoplocal #smallbusiness #bigheart #lotsoffabulous
GOLD...more than a mood, it’s an attitude!! Show off your wild side in a velvet burnout leopard print mini with sheer lace details on one side. Or sparkle in a rhinestone mesh with AB crystals over a nude lining. Or shine like a queen in gold brocade with a leg slit and solid gold belt (optional). Any one you choose is sure to be the brightest star in the room!! Now slay!!!#thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #homecoming #homecoming2020 #homecomingdress #goinggold #golddress #leopardprint #leoparddress #shinebright
ICE!! Cool shades of blue and turquoise are always perfection!! Witness a turquoise Jovani blazer and pant set with pearl & crystal buttons on the front and the cuffs. Iridescent blue sequins from ASHLEYlauren shine from every angle and the corset back makes it adjustable and comfortable. Our fave Jessica Angel dress is back, this time in deep turquoise, to show off your curves to icy perfection!! Are you a cool girl...cuz we are also playing with fire next!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #coolblue #bluedress #turquoise #icytones #coolgirl #bluemood
FIRE!! Shades of cinnamon and burgundy are irresistible and so hot!! Show out in a strapless scuba Jovani jumpsuit with asymmetrical drape details. Belt optional. Spice things up in short sparkly cinnamon flared dress from Alyce. Set the tone at any event in the classiest scuba crepe 3/4 sleeve in rich cranberry from Jovani. Is it getting hot in here??!?! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #reddress #homecoming2020 #jumpsuit #hotasfire #shadesofred #redhot #fallvibes #newarrivals #standback
Red or Blue??!?! We vote for PINK & BLACK!!!!! No Election Day sadness here, as we will be OPEN tomorrow during regular business hours. We will be strutting to the polls in a black crepe and hot pink satin Jovani jumpsuit with a tiny bow cape detail on the back. We will pick our politics in a pink ombré sequined halter jumpsuit from ASHLEYlauren. And we will cast no doubt when our voice is heard in a one shoulder black sequin drape sleeve detailed sheath from Johnathan Kayne!! Use your voice!! Use your power!! Use your vote!! Make sure you look fabulous doing it!! After all, we are the home of the brave and the land of the free gift with purchase!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #pinkandblack #pinkjumpsuit #blacksequins #newarrivals #votepink #voteblack #yourvotematters #electionday

There are many more to come...please tag anyone you know!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #homecoming2020 #homecomingdreams #homecomingqueens #lookingfabulous #notapologizing
Sometimes, a dress arrives and it’s pure perfection. For example: an emerald green long sleeved lace gown with mesh inserts, button details and a four foot train. Also available to order in red, ivory or black. Is there anything else to say?? Oh yeah, the price. I know what you’re thinking, “She probably cost a small fortune.” How about $599 for ALL that dress??!!?!
•

(Size 8 shown. Dress is not clipped or pinned and is fitting one size smaller.)
Our version of a gender reveal!! Pink or blue??!?!? Hot pink says “hey girl” in a sequin romper with pockets or a satin peplum cocktail dress or a one shoulder jersey A-line with left leg slit. Royal Blue says “boy you fine” in a stretch velvet sheath covered in sequins with back details or a not-so-basic basic ballgown with a BAM bow (removable) or the perfect jeweled and satin ballgown that is simply fabulous!! We pick both because life is too short to choose!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #genderreveal #notreally #hotpink #royalblue #pinkdress #bluedress #pageantdress #funfashion #interview #newarrivals #boysandgirls
Peachy dreams!! When other colors just won’t do, we reach for peach. 🍑🍑

Mark your calendars and get ready for the Miss Bouillion Cube 2021 Pageant!!•
•
Requirements: none. Any person can participate, but folks will be broken down into flavors: chicken, beef, turkey, and other. You may NOT choose your flavor prior to entering, unless you are vegetarian/vegan and require a vegetarian cube. We will have no interview and no evening gown competition. This is strictly based on the number of Bouillion cubes that one person can eat in a certain amount of time (to be determined at a later date.)•
•
Please note, crowns may vary in color depending on the flavor you win with. Actual chicken statue may or may not be a prize based on budget. Serious inquiries only. #laughalittle #itsnotthatserious #brightenyourday #holidayfun #whatsyourflavor #missbouillioncube #thedressdiaries #dressingqueens #makinggumbo #livinglife
Let me make something absolutely clear. As a business owner, I take a lot of criticism and negative opinions from people, many of whom I’ve never met. It comes with the territory and you learn quickly to be unbothered. I am, however, expected to take the high road any time criticism and negativity is aimed my way, even if it’s not warranted. And I usually always do. •
•
But as an individual and a human being with feelings, people often think they can go after “the business” and think it doesn’t have a personal effect. Wrong. I’ve spent over two years building a business of inclusion and empowerment for women and will absolutely stand up for myself and my brand when I’m attacked. If someone (and their friends) wants to come at me on their social media platforms and not expect a response, you thought wrong. I will defend myself. I will defend my store. I will defend my business. I don’t care who you are or if you have a crown or title, disrespect and lies will not be tolerated. •
•
We are all human. We all have feelings. You get back what you put out into the world. I have always strived to put out positivity and acceptance and will not bow to anyone trying to tear that down or to disparage any of the fair & festival queens. •
•
Thanks for listening.
xoxo

GREEN: The color of life, renewal, nature and energy, is also associated with meanings of growth, harmony, safety and fertility. •

BOLD can mean many things. Perhaps it means 450,000 sequins in vibrant hues and floral patterns, leading to a high neck and sweep train. Or bold can be a beautiful satin bow molded as the centerpiece of a structured black crepe gown. And bold can be the hottest shade of pink, with a draping cowl neck and a skirt made just to hit below the knee. The heavily beaded belt adds an extra wow factor. Three different dresses. Three different ways to show off your bold!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #bebold #floraldress #sequindress #blackdress #pinkdress #hotpinkdress #tarikediz #newarrivals #spring2021

Show off your wild side in a soft blue trumpet gown with a velvet burnout leopard print overlay, long sleeves, scoop back, crystals and bow details. Show off your sensible side in a powder blue scuba tea-length dress with an asymmetrical neckline, side ruching and three-quarter sleeves. Show off your dramatic side with a fully beaded and fringed black gown with sheer paneling, fringed shoulders, fringed back and the most intricate scalloped train. •

BOLD can mean many things. Perhaps it means 450,000 sequins in vibrant hues and floral patterns, leading to a high neck and sweep train. Or bold can be a beautiful satin bow molded as the centerpiece of a structured black crepe gown. And bold can be the hottest shade of pink, with a draping cowl neck and a skirt made just to hit below the knee. The heavily beaded belt adds an extra wow factor. Three different dresses. Three different ways to show off your bold!! #thedressdiaries #wearyourstory #foreverywoman #thedressdiarieslafayette #bebold #floraldress #sequindress #blackdress #pinkdress #hotpinkdress #tarikediz #newarrivals #spring2021
