Five dresses - Cocktail party ready

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves



Part of the excitement of going to an evening event - be it the neighbor's shindig or the annual office party - is shopping for the perfect dress. Few of us need (or want) to wear an elaborate gown so we are grateful that the cocktail dress exists - almost anything can be a cocktail dress as long as it's short, fun, and most importantly, special in some way.

This week we showed you five different cocktail dresses - from the retro inspired to the modern, and the only thing they have in common is that they're not black. Don't get us wrong, we love little black dresses as much as you do, but we know you have at least one hanging in your closet already. Why not try something new to light up the night?

Dress of the day - Jay Godfrey Cotton Candy cocktail mini

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


A sweet as candy slip of a dress by Jay Godfrey this one is for the woman in her twenties (we're not saying that you actually have to be in twenties, a youthful spirit will suffice) - this dress is all flirtatious girlish fun, literally tied up with a big black bow for a night out on the town.

The loose A-line and one-shoulder styling make this an easy option for many body types. Pair it with black heels and we guarantee those poor boys won't know what hit them.

Dress of the day - Anne Klein stretch satin sheath in "Imperial"

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Stand out in a sea of black and red cocktail dresses in this gorgeous plum sheath by Anne Klein - it's classy and touchably soft in delicious stretch satin. You might think that you'll need to pull on the Spanx to feel comfortable in this, but the dress is actually engineered to make the most of what you have:
  • The wide band at the waist will give you a fabulous hourglass shape, and will avoid the dreaded muffin top created when the waist line is too low.
  • The crossover neckline will give you a nice lift, if you know what we mean.
  • The slim skirt ends right above the knee, covering the thighs but letting you show off those calves.
To top it off, the dress is fully lined to help camouflage any errant bulges. You can wear this dress - we promise.

$178 at Nordstrom

Easy access elegance: The Fuxedo

We realize it's supposed to be a joke, but deep inside our hearts, we believe these guys might be on to something real with The Fuxedo!

Stuckey and Murray don't mention the price, but how can you put a price on genius? There are many men in our acquaintance who would very much appreciate a graceful sewn-in cummerbund and bow tie. Most have spent their lives searching a graceful two-way zipper fly.

So much grace for one item of clothing! It's practically couture.

Oh, don't just take our word for it. You must see for yourself. Safe for work, unless you sit near someone with delicate fashion sensibilities. You know, the kind who get hives from sale racks. They just won't get it.
