Ruffles

It's true that you can't go wrong with an LBD, but why not add daring details? I consider the ruffles on the dress a statement piece, but on my shoulders! This is my go-to LBD because of the fitted waist, chic shoulder details and pleated sides that make for one flirtatious frock! (Did I mention the exposed zipper on the back? LOVE!) I'm dying over the ankle strap trend and the sandal pairs so easily with the rest of the look because of the minimalist features, thin ankle strap and the snakeskin back!

Eggplant

This pret-a-porter frock is not only practical, but I appreciate that it can also be snazzed up! The deep eggplant color is flattering on a majority of skin tones and is easy to pair with black or gold! (Hues all women have possess) The detailing on the sleeves is minimal, but is slightly raised to create the illusion of definition. Though you can't see the back of the dress, there is an exposed zipper that adds yet another element of style.
