I am in loveee with the pink version of this dress. As a pale girly, it's kind of hard to find shades of light pink that don't wash me out, but this is the one. I love the tighter fit around the chest and the looser fit around the stomach, very flatt...

The ruffles!! Sooooo freaking cute!! This dress is a perfect length and of course it's 100% cotton. It comes in olive green (my favorite) and black. Does this count as a "little black dress"?

Bodycon dresses and waist-ties (wrap waist??) are two of my favorite things in a dress. Both give the illusion of an hourglass figure even if you don't really have one naturally. The blue is my personal go-to because it compliments my pale (or as my ...
