V-Neck

Somehow, someway, Victoria Beckham manages to wake up every morning and look the picture of perfection. There’s a word us jealous girls call women like that. Just kidding. Sort of. Victoria’s form fitting dresses always scream sophistication and her endless supply of accessories are the ultimate in glamour. When she ventured into her own clothing line, I have to admit, I was a bit nervous considering we’ve seen so many of those go awry with other multi-tasking celebs. Victoria did not disappoint with a line that embodies every bit of her own class and style. Here she wore a show stopping candy apple red dress from her own collection, paired with a perfect color match in Christian Louboutin Rolando pumps.

ASOS Ponti-Roma Tailored Pencil Dress

Since Victoria’s dress is from Spring 2009, that exact style ship has sailed, but I’m sure your mama told you that where there’s a will, there’s a way. I’m pretty sure that saying came from women who cannot rest until they’ve created the perfect fashion look they’ve been lusting after – just like the ladies at InTheirCloset. Now we can rest because ASOS has given us a dress that gets the job done and Dolce Vita‘s Madison pumps are almost an exact match. The best part? The entire look comes in for under $200.

Real vs. Steal – Issa Plunge Front Dress

by Vahni on February 19, 2010

If you’re not familiar with silk jersey dresses by Issa, I’ll let you in on a little secret: they are not only super stylish, they are super comfy. I know, because I have one. So I’m sure Kelly Rowland’s beauteous bright blue Issa is no exception. Issa is ready-to-wear that is easy-to-wear.

Mango Slinky Ruched Front Dress

While $405 for an original Issa is not crazy expensive, even if you have the cash, Kelly Rowland’s blue dress is currently sold out. Luckily, this Mango version can still be had, and for less than a hundred bucks. I told you a secret about the Issa version, and here’s some scoop on Mango’s Slinky Ruched Front Dress: you will wear the hell out of this dress. In winter with tights or boots and a cardi, in summer with a wedge, to a cocktail party with OTT jewelry and a strappy sandal, and even to the office with a hip-length jacket and closed-toe pumps. It is the perfect year-round, dress-of-all-trades. Grab one before they sell out too.
