No Occasion Needed Dress

Some people might look at this dress and immediately cordon it off into the 'formal wear' world. I can see why - it's got a glamour and gusto fit for fancy affairs. I'd happily pair it to patent leather heels, a flower-adorned updo, and a matching clutch, and liven up any party with its confident chic. But a dress this awesome? It shouldn't be kept in the closet, waiting for that rare event! Why not wear it all the time? Day at the office, going out to tea, reading in the park - no matter what my plans, I'll wear this dress. And why not? Its lively brocade of black and gold lamé will put a sparkle in my eye, and its flattering cut - side-boned sweetheart bodice, uniquely paneled construction, hidden back zip and hip pockets, and marvelous matching sash - will make me feel like a million bucks, regardless of what I'm doing. I'll infuse this frock with a burst of fun by wearing it with beaded moccasins, a tasseled scarf, and a trio of bracelets, then rollick around happily the whole day long! -Hannah, Fashion Writer
