I have been going NUTS over collared dresses lately, and I don’t know why. And then J. Crew came out this sweet belted wonder ($148), which sold out in the oxford blue hue in about 1.1 seconds. (It’s still available in a cheery persimmon color and a navy hue.)
Gorgeous. Get a very similar look with this a.c.e. dress, on sale for $197. Note the sexy cut-outs on the side. Or check out this re:named style, on sale for $43! Alternately, love this khaki dress from Theory (on sale for $147) and this crisp white DVF I just snagged (on sale for $119!!!):
Alternately, can’t beat a classic shirtdress in black (on sale for about $90 with current promotion). And then there’s the big kahuna, Alice + Olivia’s smart textured dress with removable cuffs/collar ($396):
I LOVE this style. If it feels too much, start with a version in sweater/top format, on sale for $150.
If solid colors feel too uniform-esque for you, lots of awesome patterned styles to be had. DVF is the classic, and a ton of styles and prints just went on sale at TheOutnet. I snagged this romper ($199) and this classic wrap ($162!), but there are oodles of other options to drool over. I have a few DVF jersey wrap dresses and they literally never go out of style. I can wear them season after season, year after year, and they never feel out of vogue, dated, or too young/too mature for me.
At some point, I REALLY want a maxi style…this one may be it (on sale for $225). Even louder, you say? This ChicWish find ($56) is reminiscent of RedValentino’s Forest Jacquard pieces from last season.
This Jill Stuart style evokes a similar look, and I love it.
