Jeanie.

This list goes on. (And on.)

How can you not remember the absolutely hot 60s-style A-line shift dress?

It’s a little vintage, ever so slightly mod, but classically gorgeous – and it’s back!

shopbopshiftdressA great example of a now-take on this retro look is the Milly Fabulous Obelisk A Line Shift Dress. It’s a very “uptown” look, and would look great with gold jewelry and upswept hair,  my fave part is the buckled self-belt at empire waist and slant pockets at hip.

Another reason I love this style: ANYONE can wear it! Whether you are 25 or 55, it is an appropriate choice, and the A-line silhouette is very forgiving to our “curves”, skimming over the stomach and hips.

Totally cute – I’m down with this trend. (And perhaps this dress.)
