styled (and found):: ghost whisperer purple dress

I recently had a reader contact me for help locating a dress similar to the dress Melinda wore in Ghost Whisperer season 5 episode Dead Ringer (since, you know, I'm obsessed with Melinda's style). While I didn't find the exact dress, I found two dresses that are similar in cut and color (the second dress is more on the indigo side than purple, but the fabric, drape and cut were similar to Melinda's). I styled the first dress very closely to Melinda's style and the second, I added some metallic and zebra touches for a fun (but still Melinda) look. Check them out:




Anyone else out there have a Ghost Whisperer fashion mission? Contact me or hit me up on Twitter, and I'll see what I can do!

PS- I also started a pinboard on Pinterest for purple dresses, so stop by and check that out, too.

Happy Monday! (That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one, right?)

As you may already know, I have a bit of an obsession with Melinda Gordon's style from Ghost Whisperer. In the series finale, she wore a pretty coral dress and, of course, I loved it (much like I love everything else in Melinda Gordon's closet).

And then! Then I spotted a similar dress on Madewell's website. Unfortunately, I procrastinated (I am so good at that) and didn't buy it and then it disappeared. But then last week, it popped up on the site again- one left and in my size. Fate, right? Obviously. So I bought it.

It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm already thinking about how this awesome coral dress will not only be the perfect addition to my beachy summer wardrobe, but will also add a nice pop of color to neutral winter ensembles.

Ghost Whisperer Fashion- "Do Over"

SO thinks I'm insane for my uncanny ability to identify a designer's (or store's) pieces when the characters on my favorite TV shows wear them. I think I'm just fashion savvy. Here's the awesome Nanette Lepore jacket worn by Melinda in the opening scenes of last night's Ghost Whisperer episode, "Do Over."

Weekend Polyvore- Ghost Whisperer Style

I think Melinda Gordon's wardrobe on Ghost Whisperer is at least half the reason I keep watching the show (because let's face it, that Jim's spirit jumping into Sam's body storyline in Season 4 was just plain weird). I'd love to raid Melinda Gordon's closet (and her store while I'm at it).

Here's my Ghost Whisperer-inspired Polyvore set.
