Easy Dress

Today I was out in Westchester to change the window.  We ended up putting a really causal chic dress on the mannequin.  As I was putting the dress on I thought to myself this is such a great piece.  All you have to do is throw it on and go.  It has enough style and design that you don't need to add anything else to it. This is also a great dress because you can dress it down for the day or dress it up for the night.  For the day, pair it with gladiator sandals and an over sized handbag. For the night put on a pair of your sexiest heals and and carry a metallic clutch.  If you want you could throw on a long opera length gold necklace or a pair of chandelier earrings. 

I know this is a Gucci dress and is out of most peoples price range, so I found two other dresses that I think are just as great and easy for a fraction of the price.  Both of these dresses are great stand along pieces for day or night.

So when you go dress shopping look for dresses that are versatile.  Find dresses that have detailing on them, whether it is buttons, snaps, zippers, roaching, or intricate embroidery.  All these elements give the dress an extra style and design that make it an easy and great throw on anytime piece.  And remember you don't have to spend a lot to get great design!
