I want this Herve Leger Strapless paneled bandage dress

Red & Black & Gold

Another way out of budget dress. I love how on the purchase page at net-a-porter it uses the word “invest”. These expensive designer dresses would indeed constitute investments” but I’m not sure as smart investments go these would qualify. It’s so easy to ruin a dress. So easy to get too fat to fit in your dress. It probably makes more sense to buy dresses you can afford to ruin or get too fat to fit into. Love Rihanna in the inset photo.

  • The shoes in the picture are an $895 pair of Charlotte Olympia Dolly suede platform pumps.
  • The bag is a $695 Miu Miu red Velvet Clutch
  • The jacket is an $895 Armani Collezioni Pewter Woven Silk Jacket

You’d be spending over $4000 if you were to get the dress shoes bag and jacket.

I want this Victoria Beckham tangerine stretch-crepe dress

Celebrity Style:Jennifer Lopez(04/05/2012)

Only in my wildest dreams would I look like Jennifer Lopez looks in this dress but I like the dress and would buy it if I could afford to spend $2″ 745 and if the dress was still available but it looks like it’s no longer available.

  • The shoes are a $1″ 150 pair of Lanvin Leather suede and wood platform sandals
  • The bag is a $1,014 ELIE SAAB Structured Leather And Crystal Clutch

The dress is a tangerine stretch-crepe dress from the Victoria Beckham line.

I want this long blue empire halter dress from Newport News

Long Empire Halter Dress (Get dress details),

I want this long blue empire halter dress from Newport News but the question is do they have bras that you can wear under a dress with this particular style. I definitely would need some support as I cannot carry a dress like that bra-less. I see even famous women that you’d imagine must have fashion stylists wearing very low cut dresses that they don’t have the right bosom shape or size to pull off attractively. Either their breasts are too big too close together hanging too low too full or not full enough. Low cut is not for every body type.

Ankle-Length Strapless Dress (Get dress details),

I’d probably wear a shrug or a bolero style jacket with this crinkle-pleated shantung ankle-length strapless dress from Newport News just so I don’t have to leave my arms bare. I don’t have the prettiest elbows in the world so I like to have my arms covered at least to my elbows.

In another life I could see myself in the setting in the picture. Maybe I could see myself in this life if I’d known what I know now when I was young.

Think of yourself as being worth the very best life has to offer regardless if nobody else thinks you are.

Bebe Lucite Stretch Bracelet Set Multi (Get item details),

I like the chunkiness and earthy hues of these bracelets. Like shoes a woman can never have too many pieces of jewelry. I say that while I have a pitiful collection of both.

If I had a bottomless bank account I would start to amass a collection of shoes and jewelry and of course clothes.

Although I think there’s something to be said for having too many options having too few options is never good either.

Then again let’s remind ourselves that there are plenty more important things in life and that happiness is not about what you have and what you don’t. That said I’d rather be in the position to have more than I need than to have less than I want.

The dress is a $1,310 DOLCE & GABBANA Ruched pleated silk dress. I’m not sure about the bolero jacket. I think it’s a home made jacket. The links took me to what I’m assuming is a pattern for the jacket that’s selling for $5.40. I could be mistaken.

Pink Cream Wednesday 3:23

Put this set together on polyvore today. It includes this $430 Salvatore Ferragamo rose tan asymmetric silk top. It looks like it feels exquisite to touch. It’s pure silk recommended to be worn with pencil skirts and long trousers so I guess the $120 vintage Prada pleated skirt I’ve selected for the set isn’t the ideal style to pair with the top but I believe in wearing what you like.

The bracelet featured is the Maison Martin Margiela Rose gold-plated and leather cuff. It’s $550 which seems a bit steep for something gold plated; but it’s gorgeous.

The bag is a $320 Fendi Zucchino cream chain pochette and the shoes are Dv8 By Dolce Vita Cosette which are $117. The necklace is a $300 Hampton Reversible Bib Necklace.

The dress is actually not expensive even if I still can’t afford it. It’s the Mink 2 in 1 tunic dress from Dorothy Perkins. It $79.

The necklace and the bracelet are for when that billionaire alien from another planet comes down to earth and cannot be convinced that I’m not the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen so in his state of delusion he keeps buying me expensive things to honor me for my beauty (Not that I want to be honored for my beauty but no matter how I protest he insists),. If the billionaire alien never shows up I guess I’ll have to hope to win the lottery if I want this bracelet and this necklace because I can’t imagine the time ever coming when I will be earning the kind of money that will allow me to purchase a $3 495.00 bracelet and an $11,500 necklace.

  • The clutch is $645
  • The earrings are $10
  • The ring is $23
