"The little black dress is classic because you can wear it with anything, dressy or not, and it still looks good..." is probably the most common line in any fashion book or magazine. While I agree that this is true, I don't really see myself as the girl who always wears a black dress to any function or party. In fact, of all my dresses, I only have 1 black one. So, I've come to the concusion that the LBD philosophy can be applied to other dresses too! Here are some examples:

The Little Blue Dress:

In the movie 500 Days of Summer, Summer is constantly wearing light blue, simple dresses that go anywhere and always look great. This is an example of how the black dress is not the only option (plus, would Summer ever wear a black dress?). A blue dress can be dressed up with heels and a cardigan, or dressed down with flats or even Converse or Keds.

The Funky Professional Look

In Confessions of a Shopaholic, Rebecca is always dressed up, but never boring. A pencil skirt or cocktail dress can be totally dressy when worn for the right occasion, like a school dance, but also look nice if covered up and dressed down. Now, I know it doesn't really make sense to wear a cocktail dress for day to day activities, especially since I'm still in school, but in general, the idea of being able to still show color and spirit without just wearing black is important.

The Sundress

The sundress is perfect for this kind of thing because it can be worn for all different occasions (weather permitting, of course). It can be simply worn to go shopping, walking, traveling, whatever, but can also be dressed up with heels for a fancy occasion in the summer. My favorite thing about it is that these are all completely different, colorful, and interesting.

Oout of all these, I woud have to say that my favorite is probably the sundress because of the colors and the versatility that comes with wearing one. What's yours?
