A Wonderfelle World

So my closet purge wasn’t as successful as I planned (Dirty Sexy Money marathon got in the way), although I did get about a third of the way through my closet just in time to realize that my LBD obsession might just be a little out of control… How many is too many? (more than 20?) I haven’t quite decided, but I’m officially banning myself from buying any more… (at least for now). I managed to purge a few from my collection, but here are a few shots of ones that made the cut!

I actually forgot I bought this ruffled LBD a couple months ago, but it’s fun and was an impulse <$20 H&M purchase that I have yet to wear… I love that it’s a bit ballerina inspired with the light, layered skirt and would LOVE to be able to pair it with these McQueen ballerina pumps (oh if only)!

This is the LBD I previously mentioned “accidentally” buying before the holidays. I did end up wearing it to a Christmas party and love the way the bow detail is waist-cinching and the mesh layer on top gives the illusion of being a little more covered up.

My very fashionable mother found this St. John Collection dress when she was shopping and loved it but they only had it in my size – so yay for me!  It’s really so much prettier in person and can be worn strapless with the ribbon tied in a bow at the bust or as a halter. I only wish I had an occasion to wear it!

This amazing MaxStudio dress has Grecian draping at the bottom and really flattering ruching along the bodice. I don’t wear it often, but I feel like its one of those timeless pieces that I might grow to love even more some day.

I firmly believe that every woman should have at least one LBD that always makes them feel great. This BCBG dress happens to be mine… Something about the symmetrical deep V in both the front and back + banded high waist + origami pleating just does all the right things for my body type.

Do you have a go-to LBD?  Or a particular outfit that you know always works? I’d love to know
