Badgley Mischka Platinum Label - Ombré Chiffon Gown

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

The subtle shift of colors always has held a certain fascination for me. I don't know if it's the gradient shift or if it's the allusion it holds me in, but I always am happy when it pops up in fashion. And this dress, this dress has me captivated by it's shimmering waves of blue, azure and cerulean. As a rule I don't like long summer dresses, but this chiffon gown is so serene and tranquil with it's illusion of shimmering water.

Kay Unger Long Strapless Silk Chiffon Ombre Gown

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Oh, I want this dress. I don't normally like long dresses, but this flowing dress has captured my interest. I think it's the very earthy feel to it. This dress almost feels like a flower blooming forth. Subtle greens that transition deeper before it burst into that pretty tulip pink--definitely a spring dress...definitely something that I would find an occasion to wear.

Sequined Ombre Dress

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I'm a pink girl. I love pink in all of it's forms. And this dress which celebrates all that is pink from the subtlest blush of baby pink at the bottom all the way up to the dark deep intriguing pink at the top is amazing. Add to fabric I'm already in love with a smattering of sequins and simple yet elegant cut and you have a dress I'm slight infatuated with.

Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon Silk Ombre Dress

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Ombre seems to bring out the long formal dress in designers it seems, but ombre can be fun too! This lighter than air silk ombre sundress is perfect for gadding about town on those sunny spring and warn summer days. The colors (a buttery yellow and pastel-y green blue) are happy colors.

Alice + Olivia Yellow Ombre Rosette Tube Dress

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Ah, yellow. Yellow really is such a spring color and when highlight on this adorable little minidress as it melts from sunflower, to sunshine to butter you can't help but want to wear it. This Alice + Olivia dress is more than just ombre though, it's toped with rosettes across the top, lest you fade away with the gently melting colors.

Marc Bouwer Glamit! Belted Ombre Gown

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Most ombres I've seen take advantage of moving dark colors into lighter versions of the same color or vice versa. This long belted ombre gown shakes it up a bit by moving dark colors into darker colors. Even though it's a dark dress, it's clearly meant for summer. Can't you see this gorgeous dress fluttering after you as you walk past a tiki lighted pool?

Dkny Ombre Skirt

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Ombre is not just for parties though. Say I wanted to bring a splash of ombre to work (casual fridays of course). Dkny ombre skirt might be just the thing. In work appropriate colors (ah, the glories of black and gray) and had a suitable length, I'm seeing this skirt with a black cardigan set (air conditioning makes offices cold in the summer!).

Dana Buchman - Ombre Silk Skirt

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

If navy blue thrills you like it thrills me, you might find this ombre skirt to your liking. It takes my two favorite blues (navy and cerulean) and shimmers between them. Toss in a splash of grey, a skirt that hits below my knee and you have something that could become a summer staple for me!

Matty M Twist Neck Ombre Silk Top

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

It was cold again today. My hopes were brought so high by the mid 50 degree day earlier this week that I thought (in my summer craving head) that the warmth was here to say. Sadly that was not so....so no matter how much I want it, it's still cold. Which means a shirt like this shirt can't come out of the closet until months from now. But a dip dyed shirt like this will shine like the gemstones it gets its color from do come the warmth.

Dip-Dyed Sleeveless Pleated Dress

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

One of the things I find fascinating about dip dyed items is that they resemble so many things, gradiating blues might look like a water fall and gradiating reds and oranges like this dip dyed summer dress look like a sunrise. The shift of colors in this dress is bound to be a perfect summer time sundress...after sunsrise till before.

Badgley Mischka Platinum Label Cocktail Dress

Updated Mar 6, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I'm looking forward to Memorial day. It means white can come out of my closet again! This glorious cocktail dress may only be able to be worn after Memorial day, but that does mean it's not a stunning dress. I like the cream and green color combination, the detailing on the front and the gathering almost like a bow (without the associated bow). All in all a summer party winner.

ABS by Allen Schwartz Ombre Silk Dress

Updated Mar 7, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Blue is a good color. It has such a wide variety of usage. The icy blue in this halter dress pairs nicely with the gray halter neck tie. This dress is such a fun dress. I like the morphing from color to color. It's a lighter ombre than most of the ombres I've been seeing this season and I like it. Since it's a more causal cut, this dress could be brought out for a nice day time party of even a casual evening one.

Updated Mar 7, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

ABS always has something that I love and, it's usually pretty reasonably priced. This long empire waist chiffon dress once again up holds to my abs expectaions! The tan, gray and cream dress reminds me vaguely of a what a Grecian goddess would wear...if she lived today. It's plum adorable!

Sunshine and daisies are just two of my favorite spring things and this cocktail dress has blurs between the two and the color of fresh clotted cream gorgeously. Strapless and knee length this dress would fit in every where from Easter Sunday (with a cardigan) to parties!

You might not be a printer, but that doesn't mean grayscale isn't still fun. This fun little chiffon grayscale dress is made better by the addition of itty bitty polka dots. I'm also really loving the straps on this dress it just looks like a fun and yet solid dress that is awesomely cute!

Kay Unger New York Sequined Ombre Dress

Updated Mar 8, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

So, I know this is horrible to admit, but this dress reminds me of something a character would wear in a Final Fantasy game. I mean this as a compliment. love this sequined ombre dress that moves between blue and yellow without comprising in green. It's a simple enough cut, but with as much that is going on in the color changes it carries well.

Jay Godfrey Tuxedo-Ruffle Ombre Dress

Updated Mar 8, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Oh my, I see this minidress and I want. I want it because it's hot pink and black. I want it because it melts the two together amazingly and I want it because the tuxedo ruffle is oddly appealing. I normally wear minidresses with legging, but for this dress I'd make an exception and let it shine all by itself.

Chloe Beaded Ombre Strapless Dress

Updated Mar 8, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Chloe always finds a way to mix the trend up. This season has dip dye everywhere you look and this dress still has that subtle melting of color from to color, but it has a black background and is just a ribbon of color twisting about. This dress would be a keeper in just black, but add that splash of color and it's amazing!

Description

This dress take the dip dye trend and plays with it a bit. Normally the colors all fade one way from top to bottom or bottom to top. This sleeveless sun dress starts in the middle with a bold pink band and fades both up and down. It's a fun twist on the trend and pretty to boot!

Ombre Sequin Dresses by Jovani

Description

There are times sequins are okay, mainly they are constrained to functions that could be considered a social function while in school, but if you have one of those to go to (sorority function anyone?) then this dress would serve you well. I'm loving the red and white dress with it's red ribbon tie and it's twirling nature. It looks like it was made to dance in.

Ombre should have to be restricted to dresses and skirts though! It's just as fun in shoes. These patent pink ballet flats would be perfect for kicking around town and would add a bit of interest to your outfit.

Some of my fondest vacation memories involve throwing on a casual dress and walking around the coast of Maine. This dress would fit perfectly into my vacation meandering. It's pretty, but it's not formal. It's a casual dress that lets you feel pretty without having to work at it...and vacation is all about the relaxation.

DKNY Swimwear : Dip Dyed Drape Tankini

Updated Mar 8, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Aesthetically I like bikinis, I think they are pretty and just fun all around. In practice I'm not so crazy about baring my tummy for the world to see and thus love tankini. And this dip dyed tankini is just my style. It progresses from white to gray to black and has a slight gather around the waist. This is a suit that would make me look forward to the lake.

Miu Miu Brown Suede Tie-dye Pumps

Description

I'll be honest, I don't tend to like tie dye. It's a special tie dye that can get past me. Shoes seem to have a greater chance of getting past my tie dye sensors. These brown suede tie dyed pumps would work perfectly with jeans and a tan or brown shirt. I think I might forgot I hate tie dye for these.

Description

I wouldn't pair this cardigan with the skirt they are showing, but it's still kind of a nice one. It's a tie dye that isn't so obnoxiously bright. It's a cardigan that has the skinny cut and casual nature that means I could see it working with a variety of outfits.
