The jammed racks at Intermix were lacking in the strapless-frock department, but an attentive salesman helped me pick a couple of options. The only one in my size was a Lacey Park black and white polka-dotted dress with a ruched, bandeau-style top. Normally, I'm opposed to any dress that would turn me into Minnie Mouse, but the thin cotton was so soft I had to try it on. The baby-doll style was very flattering because it flared out to a full—yet short—skirt. Unfortunately, the abnormally small top kept slipping down, making me do a spot-on Lindsay Lohan impression.
