Color Me Bad!

It's almost that time of year again ladies... New Year's Eve! Thinking back on the ghosts of New Year's past, I've realized that I've always worn a black dress. Whether it was a mini, ruched, or even a wrap, it was always black. To make things worse, not only did I have on a black dress, plenty of other ladies did too. That's definitely not a good look. Not Dopalicious at all... To ensure that doesn't happen this go around, I've decided to make a spice things up with some color. Here are my top picks:



Ellie Owen
Athena Dress
This gorgeous creation is from a young designer from New York named Ellie Owen. I am in love with his entire "Uncollected Collection", but if I had to pick one, it would definitely be this one! He's definitely a designer to watch in the future. For pricing and purchase details, please visit his website.myspace.com/ldc86





Miss Me
MM Couture Asymmetrical Plum Dress
SALE $85.00
http://store.missme.com/mmcd272plum.html
I chose this one because it's asymmetrical and above all, purple. Purple is one of my mainstays in my color pallet, so aside from the gorgeous cut, it was an easy choice for me.





Anna Sui
Multi Wavi Dress
SALE $171.50

This dress is gorgeous. I'm still debating in whether or not it's dressy enough for a New Years party, however, I'm still in love with it. It speaks to me personally. It's almost as if it were made exclusively for me. The teal bodice is dope and the cut would look great on a woman of any size. I recommend this to anyone.






BEBE
Sequin Cowl neck Dress
SALE $79.50

I chose this one because it reminds me of the ball that drops at midnight. BeBe always has at least one go-to dress for every occasion. Whether or not I would wear it is the question. While it is a great dress. The chances of running into someone with it are very high!






Karen Zambos
Emerald Green Wiggle Dress
$458
http://www.chickdowntown.com/designerproducts.asp?designerID=65809
The simplicity of this dress is actually what led me to it. The cut is simple classic. You could literally dress this up any way you wanted to. It's very versatile.








Betsy Johnson
Chffon and Charmeuse Strapless Tiered Sheath dress.
$360.00
http://www.betseyjohnson.com/store/productdetails2.aspx?categoryid=1101&productid=6418&np=1101

This dress is classic Betsy Johnson! It's a breath of fresh air. It's fun, free spirited, and it's definitely a show stopper. Dope...enough said.


Budget Minded Babe Picks:

Forever 21
Silky Origami Dress
$19.80
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?
The detailing on this dress is great. But I would definitely do a pre-inspection on it before plunking down my cash. You wouldn't want one of the seems stressed on the first night. That definitely wouldn't be a good look. The price, however, is unbeatable.




Charlotte Russe
Ruched Tube Dress
$32.99
http://www.charlotterusse.com/family/index.jsp?clickid=cat_leftnav_txt&cp=2843536&categoryId=2744998&view=all
The color of this dress is dope and the ruching will either compliment or create a curvy figure depending on your body type. Great buy for the budget minded diva.


Happy Shopping,
Until then....


besos a todos,
