We all know of a friend, or two, who have been guilty of hoarding all the good stuff during the holiday sales. We’ve been raiding her closet since high school and she’s been known to be the group’s fairy fashion godmother ever since. A new year is coming up fast and most of you have their whole social calendar down pat, so why don’t we all take a look at these dresses that are definitely made for conquering the year 2018! With these select pieces, you can cover just about any occasion without running off to someone else’s closet. You can even buy one for you, and one for your fashion-forward friend!
This mini shift dress in classic denim blue from See by Chloe lets others take a peek at just the right amount of silky smooth thighs under the same-colored crochet embroidered overlay. While the color captures youthfulness, the ruffled collar says you still know what you want. Wearing this dress to any casual party and even to an innocent date at the park and museum will get you enough brownie points for a much-deserved kiss. Pair this dress with some nude leather sandals and a bright pedicure, or switch to rose-colored suede pumps for a more polished but still laidback look.
Nothing says chic and timeless like lace. Every woman who dons a lace mini with dainty collars shows the world that while she looks innocent, she has her life figured out and still have more to excitingly look forward to. This mesh lace mini with black guipure details from Self-Portrait sends the right message whether you need to go to a party where your boss will be at or a dinner with your boyfriend’s family and friends. The amazing detail on this dress pairs well together with black flats or any classic-colored heels. You can choose to let your sleek and straight hair down or show off your swan-like neck and the exquisite floral detailing with your hair in a bun.
Whether it is cocktail hour or Sunday brunch with the girlfriends, nothing says you are a girl’s girl and a classy lady in this black satin mini with bouquet print from RED Valentino. The A-line skirt cinches the waist to create a perfect silhouette and the classic round neck gives a conservative look balanced by the high hem. A shiny red clutch would go well with the dress whether it is paired with flats or high heels, and a pair of diamond studs will finish the look.
