    When you're on a budget, you can't spend your money on just anything. You need items that are versatile, timeless and just plain pretty. And this beautiful dress from ASOS is all that and more. It is short, yet it reveals just enough skin with its strapless design for hitting those clubs on Saturday night. Put on some sexy, strappy heels and you are ready to conquer the dance floor. When the party's over, work this dress in a different way. Got a holiday party coming up? Slip it on with a pair of pumps and clutch. A nice family dinner to attend? Put a blazer over the top and you'r good to go. Wanna rock it out? Add a leather jacket, tights and a pair of ankle boots. Unlike most mini dresses, this ASOS design is anything but typical. I really love the contrast created by the light drape, especially the way it crosses the bust to the waistline and then back over again on the bottom. With this dress in your closet you'll have the solution to every wardrobe dilemma. Whether it's a birthday party or a wedding, this dress is the answer! Check out CollegeCandy for other holiday season wardrobe staples!

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Ports 1961

    For the Spring 2010 Ports 1961 collection, designer Tia Cibani found inspiration in the beauty of nature and as such, she presented an absolutely breathtaking collection. The color palette was mostly muted and comprised of soft airy shades, with the occasional pop of color thrown in, like the standout cherry organza layered sheath. To keep things on the clean and minimal side, embellishments were kept discreet, instead focusing heavily on construction and silhouette over anything else. Some of the pieces were very voluminous but in a way that was still wearable and not too overwhelming, while others were cinched at the waist for a sexier, more defined silhouette. The draping, tucking, and folding were so incredible, even someone with no knowledge of fashion whatsoever would be awed. Some of my absolute favorites included the talc marble wrap dress, a brushstroke silk satin sheath dress with a draped back (definitely a versatile piece which can be worn with a blazer for day and sexy shoes and lots of accessories for night),, and a muted tank dres that was so simple yet stunning. From the bustier cocktail frocks to the organza blazers to the draped skirts, each and every single piece in this collection was simply phenomenal. Flip through the slideshow to see some of the pieces in action.

    Add A Light Layer To Your Summer Look With A Draped Vest

    Sometimes all those layers can get a little stuffy... especially during summer. But you don't have to skip out on that draped and layered look when you've got a vest to hang on your shoulders. Add a hip piece that won't keep you sweltering with a long vest that wraps your shoulders like a scarf. Paired with summer staples like shorts and tank tops, it's a cute and comfortable alternative to your fitted button-up vests, but the look of a sleeveless cardigan sweater makes this vest a more casual layer. Some drape over like a curtain, lending a richer and more delicate style. These accessories will prove even more valuable on a chilly night, as well as into the fall season when you actually will need something to shelter your shoulders. Check out the long vests in this slideshow and treat your trendy self to an edgy, layered look!

    Megan Fox, Kendra Wilkinson, And Aubrey O'Day: Since When ...

    image

    Even if you have no interest in "Transformers" (or Shia LaBeouf, for that matter), the general premise is a no-brainer: cars turn into giant destructive robots... and chaos ensues. But did you know that common household linens also transform into dresses? I didn't either, but apparently at the summer blockbuster's Los Angeles premiere, Hollywood starlets were convinced that sheets and curtains could suitably convert into red carpet ensembles. While I'm sure "Grecian goddess" is what she was going for, Megan Fox didn't exactly live up to her "sexiest woman in the world" rep in her white sack robe. Similarly, Aubrey O'Day looked uncharacteristically covered up and almost classy... but did she have to resort to wearing a pillowcase? And we know it can be tough to pick out clothes when you're preggers, but wearing a curtain is never the answer, Kendra Wilkinson! It's a common expression to say that some of the world's A-list actresses are so beautiful they could make even a paper bag look good, but apparently that sentiment doesn't quite carry over to drapery. Vote below on who you think looks the sloppiest in their sheet-like sheath. Photo Credit: PR Photos

    Channel A Part-Time Greek Goddess In A Draped Skirt

    image

    The Grecian trend is wonderful. Pieces that borrow from this look are so dignified without being over done. The folds of the fabric and the long, luscious styles - particularly evident in goddess dresses - create a floating, ethereal look. And the styles can range from somewhat casual to elegant and more formal. One of the best ways to incorporate this Grecian detailing into an outfit - without making a major trend commitment - is to utilize one of the strong suits of this style: draping. Even a draped skirt is a good place to start. You may not look quite like you could walk out of the heavens on a cloud but hey - even a goddess needs a break! These skirts tend to be somewhat high waisted and look best with a structured top that's easily tucked in. Consider wearing it with a frilly blouse or even a fitted t-shirt. This look is much more low maintenance than an all-out Grecian-inspired ensemble, but it still easily rises to the occasion! See more on this trend and many others at TheFind.
