Everyone needs a short little strapless dress to wear out and about don’t they? I’ve found a good option for all of you that agree with me. This BCBGMAXAZRIA Denim Pleated Chiffon Mini Strapless Dress  would even go well with the clutch that I picked up in the Rules to Bargain Luxury Shopping entry. 
The mauve and ivory color with an ombre pattern is demure, femine and classic, but yet, since it’s short very sexy (!!). It’s even boned so it gives the girls a bit of support. It’s about 14 inches long (or is it short?).  The dress is $235at Bluefly.com …read more

If there was ever a time to visit the city of San Antonio, it would be right now. Everyone needs to visit because I will, in my dreams, be walking around the city in this  Embroidered Taffeta Oscar De La Renta Dress…everywhere.

Free People is all over the place.  You can pick it up at the Free People store, at Macy’s and even at Bluefly.com. However, Bluefly.com is where I found this Black ‘You Are My Sunshine” Belted Jersey dress. 

The dress is casual and chic. It’s something I would totally wear all the time. The white sunshine with yellow detail is very cute.  And check out that V neck line. Very sexy! 
It has ruffle trim with crochet detail around the belt and a short puff sleeve. 
The dress is marked down from the original store price of $148 down to $99 at Bluefly.com.
