Silver Designer Dress and Shoes

Beads and sequins adorn this silver Adrianna Papell chiffon dress.

I especially like the soft, feminine look the pleated bodice coupled with the transparent sleeves give this formal dress.

Wear it with these silver Antonio Melani leather peep-toe heels.

Both are available when you shop online at at Dillard’s, which ships to the United States.

Dress, Clutch, Shoes — Formal Outfit Ready to Go

I like the off-the-shoulder look on this long black dress, as well as the mesh material and satin piping.  Both see-through and luxury materials are *in* right now.

This dress is actually all one piece, and it currently comes in sizes 4 through 16.  Pair it with this black designer clutch from Michael Kors and these Kate […]

Long Organza and Satin Dress in Brown, Purple, or Pale Yellow

I think this organza and satin dress would look stunning on a brunette or someone with an olive skintone:

Here’s a closer look at the bodice:

(Sorry, that’s the highest zoom I could get.)  It’s available at eternitystore.com, which specializes in modest dresses.  But if you’re not in the market for modest, don’t let the label turn […]

Modest Dress/Mainstream Fashion

As you can imagine, I visit a lot of women’s online clothing stores every day, and part of that involves seeking out specialty sites, like ones for conservative clothing.  Time after time, I’ll visit a modesty store that claims to keep up with current fashion trends, but in reality, have mostly bizarre dress styles not […]

Fashion: Slips Meant to be Seen

Vintage Hem has a unique take on the slip — they make theirs to fall below the hemline.  That’s because these slips are much too pretty to be hidden away.  Silk, tulle, taffeta, and other fine fabrics are used in the construction.  These slips can be naughty or nice – wear to add some sex appeal to a plain […]

Online Clothing Outlet — Shop and Save!

OCC, or the Closeout Catalog Outlet, features closeouts.  From catalogs.  (Betchya never would have guessed that.)  Like any sales bin, you’ll have to do some searching for the good stuff, but there’s good stuff to be found for anyone willing to look around.

Like this pink dress with black trim, currently less than $20!

Look Slimmer in These Formal Dresses

The white block of color, framed by black, will make you look slimmer when you wear this debut dress:

What else is slimming?  All black.  Like this BenDiLisi dress with silver beading:

Pick up either one of these gorgeous dresses at Debbenhams.  It looks like they ship mainly within the UK, but you can call their helpline (0870 24 […]

This silver knit and satin 3-piece skirt set is on sale right now at JC Penney:

This is a great choice if you want a longer sleeve without sacrificing a sophisticated look.  Silver is *in* this season, which also makes this a good pick.
