Here’s a look at the back, which is all one color:

This trendy dress is formal enough to wear to a dressy event in the evening, yet fun enough to wear to something more casual, as well.

Get it at Venus, which ships worldwide.  They have both a women’s clothing sale section (up to 40% off) and a fashion clearance section (up to 60% off).  They also have a New Arrivals section, so you can see the latest fashions to come into their store.

Color Block — Pleated Pink Dress

Why does it take five Irishmen to change a lightbulb?One to change the bulb.

Four to remark about how grand the old bulb was.

Haha.  Just a little Irish humor for you in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day.  And speaking of preparing for St. Patty’s, better buy something green now.  You don’t want to be rummaging through your closet on the morning of March 17th only to find you don’t have a thing to wear. 

And there’s no better place to buy than bebe.com, which has a ton of cute stuff in green right now.

Like this amazing green bustier, which features a padded bra and boning.  Buy it separately or with the high waisted plaid skirt.

Another great top is this color block, one-shoulder piece.  (Both color block and single shoulders are *in* right now.)

Or try this floral print strapless dress.  (Both floral print and strapless are also *in* right now.)

But you don’t necessarily have to buy a whole new outfit just to have something green (although it is a great excuse).  Try accenting an existing outfit with one of the following accessories.

Bebe’s signature mosaic bag features interwoven jacquard, crocodile, and metallic cords.

Or get this green leather peep-toe shoe which boasts a 4-inch heel.

If you want to order on time for the holiday, do it sooner rather than later.

Bebe ships worldwide (see shipping instructions for orders that are outside of the U.S. and Canada).

Pleated Chiffon Color Block Dress

They got it right with this sexy, tricolor dress in basic black and white with turquoise to accent the waist.  In addition, the ruching at the waist, the A-line skirt, and all the elements of this dress work together in harmony to create a cohesive and beautiful piece.  Very nice. 

You can pick this up at Boston Proper which ships worldwide (orders from outside of the United States, however, will need to be placed by phone, fax, or mail and not via the website).  See their sale page, too.

Tricolor Knit Dress in Black, White, and Turquoise

4. The experts at EHow.com suggest going through your closet and pulling out everything red, trying them on, then choosing an existing piece to accessorize, or to purchase other pieces of clothing to compliment.

5.  From Me:  If you’re single, plan a girls only day, and do something fun with your single friends.

Single or taken–it doesn’t matter.  Look great, and have fun doing it.  Here are some dresses that would make a perfect early valentine’s gift to yourself…

For the sexy siren look, try this slinky dress from Victoria’s Secret:

Love the hearts on this cute Betsey Johnson dress at edressme:

Also from edressme is this Lia Kes dress.  It has a fun/funky vibe to it:

Nordstrom always comes through with a classically elegant style, and they do so once again with this Donna Ricco dress:

This little red dress is available at a discount at overstock.com.  I especially like the circular neckline:

Valentine clothes don’t necessarily have to be pink and red, as seen in this BCBG Max Azria dress at Lord & Taylor, which is frilly and romantic in an understated way:

Color block dresses are very *in* right now.  Pick this one up at Charlotte Russe for less than $25!:

This sweet and feminine Spring eyelet dress is also under $25 at Forever 21:
