ebay dress of the day

today's dress is absolutely gorgeous. the sparkly brocade is perfect for the holiday season, but could easily transition into early spring. also, i kind of want to see it layered with some more casual pieces. like, a cute crew neck sweater underneath and ribbed sweater tights. just imagine!

this dress is so perfect for new year's eve. i love the large pailettes stripes so much! the dress is union-made from the 60s and seems to still be in amazing condition. while horizontal stripes are difficult to pull off, the right girl would look amazing in this dress. also, the measurements are a bit bigger, so depending on how you want it to fit, it works on lots of different figures.

it's very very cold here in brooklyn and the dress today is exactly what i want to be wearing right now...on a tropical island in the south pacific. don't get me wrong, i love layers and chunky knits, velvet and corduroy, toboggans and galoshes, but in my daydreams, this is the dress i wear.

so i think the dress today is going to need a little bit of explaining - or styling rather. before i do that, take a look:

at first glance, it is a fury of color and pattern, and while i'm naturally drawn to that, i understand others aren't. BUT, i believe this dress could happily live and be worn in every woman's wardrobe, with a few considerations. the cut, fabric and condition are fabulous, so it just comes down to being comfortable with the color and print. here's what i think you could do:

1. wear it under a fitted black blazer with black tights and boots. if it's the only color you're wearing and part of it is covered, this dress will look much less outrageous. (also, that ascot is just begging to be tied in a big bow. it would be adorable poking out above the blazer's collar and you would need to wear a necklace!)
   
2. pair it with a high-waisted black (leather, ooooh) pencil skirt. this dress could easily be worn as a top if the skirt is long enough to cover the hem. and again, the less you show of the actual dress, the less crazy it will look.
3. hike up the hemline. i feel like you can get away with more vivacious color if the dress is shorter. take this dress to a tailor and have a couple of inches chopped off. then wear it as a tunic with jeans or leggings or a cute mini with tights.
   
4. wear it under a long, neutral colored sweater coat or fitted crew neck. this is the same idea as the blazer, but the knit would make it look more casual.
5. or, just wear it as a dress. i think it's pretty fantastic exactly the way it is!

ebay {holiday} dresses: ending TODAY!

as i was searching ebay today looking for ONE dress to show you, i found myself clicking on link after link of absolutely beautiful dresses. below, i present you with the best, all ending today.

black velvet

i love velvet for this time of year. this dress is fancy, but the crochet detail makes it a bit more casual and carefree. love the combination!

white heat

this dress is drop dead gorgeous. it would be amazing for new year's eve paired with a vintage fur bolero! {oh, and it's backless too!}

red and gold

i know, i know...this is the same model from above. two dresses from the same seller in one post is pretty lame, but i couldn't NOT show you this dress. look at those sleeve buttons. and the gold brocade! i die.

green goddess

this dress would look amazing on anyone. the lines are simple, the cut is flattering, the length is trendy, and the color is festive. i'm calling this the perfect holiday dress!

eBay dress of the day: Low and High

so today, i couldn't choose just one dress. i came across two that i love and they are very similar (light weight, flowy, nearly nothing) however, one has no bids yet and one has a BILLION. i've already told you that i have no desire to wear clothes in this heat, but i would consider wearing either of these.

eventually i'm going to blog about something other than dresses...but not today. i'm feeling particularly lazy. i think it is a combination of the unseasonably cool and rainy weather and the fact that it is monday. regardless...here is an amazing dress i found online today.

today's choice was much easier to make than yesterday's. it is amazing how ebay fluctuates in quality *and quantity* of dresses that are listed from day to day. anyway...here it is. a simple shift shape with some sumptuous ruffle detailing *you know i love ruffles!* in that lovely hawaiian floral.
