Citrus Squeeze
June 25th, 2009
Warm nights bring lots of summer weddings and the quest for the perfect cocktail dress is always a challenge. I tend to gravitate towards brightly colored pieces that pack a punch and I’ve rounded up just a few citrusy favorites that will be sure to make a splash.
1. Topshop Scallop Skirt Dress, $135.
2. Graham & Spencer Silk Dress, $160.
3. Herve Leger Estelle Bandage Dress, $1,050.
4. Forever 21 Pleated Party Dress, $22.80.
5. dELiAs Adina Dress, $14.99.
6. Topshop Frill Sleeve Empire Dress, $80.
7. DKNY Silk Tank Dress, $275.
8. 3.1 Phillip Lim Silk Chiffon Striped Dress, $475.
9. Forever 21 Woven Tea Party Dress, $22.80.
10. Graham & Spencer Twisted Neck Dress, $165.
11. Temperley London Elfin Tunic Dress, $1,110.
12. Black Halo Jackie O Mini, $345.
I love how simple all of these dresses are since they’re a wonderful canvas for accessorizing. Wouldn’t a studded belt or metallic clutch just make all of these pop?
I’ve had my eye on that first dress from Top Shop for quite a while now – it’s so adorable. I spotted The Woven Tea Party dress from Forever 21 last week – very cute as well
Too many fabulous choices. I love the lime dresses. Lime is an underrated color that I’d love to see more of! BTW, love your blog. Your style is so naturally beautiful.
Awesome! Love them too. Specially the #11 and 5.=D

1,4,5, 7,8
completely obsessed!
Gorgeous…and I LOVE #8. It looks like something cool I want to drink up.
this is such a dreamy set up…things seem so much more lovely when you refer to them as “grapefruit” or “lemon”. great idea, emily! xo
whenever you do a roundup i always fall in love with the unattainably expensive ones…like the herve leger and the philip lim. why rachel, why?!
I crave something in orange.
Why are the ones I like always the expensive ones
I love #3 and of course it’s the most expensive. Why is that always the case?
Oh how I love #11!
I love #4 and was surprised to see Forever 21′s. I love that you mix in higher end with more affordable pieces.
Great post Emily! Love all the colours. There are sooo many cute dresses out there right now
