My current fave is a D&G that I purchased as a skirt from a thrift shop for $6.00. When I got it home and put it on it fit really strangely as a skirt- turns out it's a strapless dress.

I have a trench that is a part of my LBD category as it has many characteristics of a dress. I like to wear it with my black lace tights and nude heels. I find that a splash of color, via a shoe or scarf, keeps the dress stylish and upbeat. I also like to a little more fun with jewelry if the dress is simple. <br /><br />For dresses, I really like Ali Ro. The quality is amazing, and the designs, superb -- it feels like you're wearing art! <br /><br />xoSarah Klassenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929770496186549808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350332514577320343.post-68122249359885827562010-01-12T08:58:34.505-08:002010-01-12T08:58:34.505-08:00oo I agree.
