Today I am absolutely fascinated with green column gowns. Green has always been my favorite color and I’d also always pick a simple column gown over any glitzy and fluffy Cinderella dress. Most of my picks are way beyond my budget (except for the Rachel Pally dress maybe) but that ain’t nothing new with me I guess. Which one is your favorite?

I am currently totally hooked on maxi dresses. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE them! It was just recently that I ordered a beautiful emerald green maxi dress from Dorothy Perkins and when it arrived and I tried it on, it was an almost magical moment. The material was so soft and flowy, the color utterly flattering against my olive skin tone and the twisted front give it some needed sexiness. Now I’m spying on the cobalt blue version waiting for it to go on sale and in the meantime decided it’s time to get a white maxi dress for when my summer tan kicks in. What I noticed during my maxi dress research is that Rachel Pally makes some really gorgeous ones. Most of them have a Grecian-like design and hence look really stunning on almost any body type. Just look at this sexy classic black maxi dress. Lovely, isn’t it? But you have to check out the price! And I’m talking SALE price here!

Rachel Pally Diamond Keyhole Long Dress
($166.60, Shopbop)
P.S.: Also available in faded orange at Rachel Pally.
ASOS Padded Keyhole Front Grecian Maxi Dress
While this maxi dress by ASOS may not be a dupe it still gives you pretty much the same look but for less than a third of the original’s (sale!) price.

ASOS Padded Keyhole Front Grecian Maxi Dress
($51.72, ASOS)
ASOS Gold Bar Keyhole Maxi Dress
If you’re not totally sold on the first version, how about this second ASOS alternative which comes in a beautiful indigo blue. It’s a little bit pricier than the first one, but the vibrant color is totally worth the markup. And it’s still less than 50% of the Rachel Pally dress.
