This Thakoon dress, on the other hand, is a total keeper! It’s made out of this gauzy, delicate lace that practically floats when you move. This dress also features a V-neck and is finished off with all the fabric being swept toward the center into a twisted knot! See below for more info.

This chiffon dress by Geren Ford looks like it’s out of a fairytale or something… it’s totally got that “maiden in distress” look going on. If there even is such a thing as a “maiden in distress look”, that is. Well, there is now, because this is it!
The lightweight chiffon makes this feel flowy and dreamy. It features a simple silhouette with a V-neck and a gathered waist. My favorite part is the miniature ropes that act as adjustable straps. Love this one from head to toe! (Or is it more like neck to ankles??)

This Halston shirtdress is slightly safari-inspired, but I definitely wouldn’t wear this on a safari if I were you. Although you’d definitely be the most stylin’ person for miles!
Anyway, this dress features a beautiful orange silk, self-belt at the waist, button fastening epaulets at the sleeves, and pockets at the chest. I love the wide short sleeves as they give this dress a laid-back, casual look.

This DSquared2 dress is so different from most dresses out there! Here’s my two cents on this one…
Well, first off, it has a great silhouette. The high neck with the bow is so vintage. Almost like 1800s vintage, except for the keyhole right underneath, which gives it a totally modern look. The red and blue print is definitely unique to say the least! The dress is 100% silk, which of course, will make it feel really luxurious when you wear it! I’m gonna go ahead and say that not everyone can pull off this dress. I think you’ve gotta have a bit of vintage flair in your style to wear this one well! But those who have the right kind of style to pull this one off are gonna look GREAT in it!

Monday definitely calls for some cheering up. Especially when the sun is hiding and the rain is neverending! How’s this Marc by Marc Jacobs dress?? It’s starting to put ME in a good mood, anyway!
Anyone remember Lite-Brite? That game where you stick tiny light bulbs in tiny holes to make a design, and when you turn the switch on, it lit up? This dress totally reminds me of that! Bright colors + ruffles + bow at waist = happiness! It even has pockets… ok, now my Monday is bearable!

I love this Derek Lam dress. Polka dots are usually a bit much for me, especially on a dress, but they are very subtle on this one. This dress is just pretty, plain and simple!
I’ll let theOutnet.com do the describing for me this time -

Derek Lam dress has a contrast black trim, halterneck spaghetti straps which tie at back of neck, a deep V-neck with layered panel detail, a keyhole opening at back of neck, a button-fastening placket, a self-tie sash at waist, a frilled hem and a concealed side-zip to fasten. 100% silk.

Or wear a cute jacket with some heels and you’re ready for a night out! There are a TON of other ways you can change this one up, making it well worth your money.

Lately I’ve had a thing for Catherine Malandrino’s clothes. Especially her dresses. I fell in love with this one at first sight. It’s a basic black dress with a crazy unique eyelet bustier. It’s sooo simple, but there’s something about it that I lovelovelove. It’s another one of those dress it up or down kinds of dresses – it really could go either way depending on how you want to accessorize it. Oh, the endless possibilities for accessorizing this dress!!! And it’s marked down by so much that I’d totally be tempted to buy it if it was available in my size. It’s the size 6′s and fellow Catherine Malandrino lovers out there are in luck today!
