This Ellen Tracy yellow silk designer dress is 62% off right now.

The color block style, wide hem of a contrasting color, yellow material, and pleating are all very *in* and trendy elements this season.  I especially like how they did a smooth pleat on the bodice leading into the pleat at the top of a full skirt.  This is a really nice design.
Accessorize it with this Andrew Marc white leather handbag (which is currently reduced by $220) or these Jessica Simpson yellow wedge heels (which are 41% off)!
