It’s a Cinch
May 18th, 2010
On a daily basis, I usually reach for whatever outfit is most flattering and easiest to throw together. I know that might not be what you would expect from a fashion enthusiast, but for day-to-day errands and appointments, I don’t have the time or patience to put together intricate ensembles. I love the built-in belt on this Elizabeth and James dress since it makes the process of getting ready that much quicker without sacrificing any of the style. I’ve decided that a few more of these double duty dresses should make their way into my closet immediately.
1. 3.1 Phillip Lim Shell-Embellished Cotton-Voile Kaftan, $250
2. Antik Batik Silk-Chiffon Silk-Back Mini Dress, $335
3. Single Printed Jersey Strapless Dress, $295
4. Theory “Speckle Idalia” Strapless Printed Dress, $295
5. Forever 21 Blooming Floral Dress, $22.80 (no longer available, but here’s an alternative)
6. Diane von Furstenburg Solar Macrame Dress, $595
7. Theory Wool-Blend Belted Dress, $335
8. Carven Ruffle-Skirt Taffeta Dress, $595
9. Acne Lou Lou Wrap-Front Satin Dress, $300
10. Forever 21 One-Shoulder Silk Dress, $29.80
2, 3, 7, & 10. love, love LOVE!

I like them all. I have gone into the dress world this season. It is just so easy to do and really why not! At this point there are so many great dresses out there so I just feel inspired to sport them. Anything but a pair of 3/4 length cropped pants..bleh!

Hey! This jacket reminded me of a post you did a little while ago about blush/nude colors. I thought you might like it! Keep up the good work, I love your site.

of course i love the most expensive items here!!!! champagne tastes on a beer budget….isnt that the old adage? sigh…
heyy when you first started blogging a couple years ago (and i had a different blog) we emailed a bit and now i came back to visit and your blog is amazing and super successful! i loveee it :]
sooo true! some days you just need to be able to toss something on but still look put together, and that’s why half my closet is basically dresses… even tops and skirts take too long to coordinate.
love your blog.

Hi Emily! First of all, I’d like to say that I love your blog!! I drop by every time I can!
I have a dress very similar to the second one (the green dress), but it has long sleeve. I’d like to know how can I use it in the winter, If I can…
Thanks!!!
So many lovely dresses! I especially love number 6
I love these dresses. I’m surprised i really like both of the F21 dresses, but of course they are gone.

I love the belted look on a strapless dress. Adds dimension to a dress that could end up looking boxy!
