1. Lady in Red, watch out! What a stunner – from Lafayette 148 New York. The architectural pleating down the front is extremely slimming and conceals flaws with pleats strategically placed over problem areas. The rest of the dress’s design is superbly simple. All you need to do is add a pair of nude heels, and wait for the compliments. Perfect for a cocktail or dinner party, any time of year. No one needs to know that you got a great deal on it, too.

2. DVF dresses get better with age, and this little black dress is no exception. The double stretch material is thicker and very flattering – especially in this fit-and-flare shape. Subtle seaming details give it just enough interest, while contouring to your body in all the right places. This is easy for a night out, a business dinner or less formal function…even a day at the office.

Eileen Fisher - Jersey Knee-Length Long-Sleeve Dress

3. Neiman Marcus sums it up perfectly when they say, “this Eileen Fisher jersey dress adjusts to any setting.” That, at a great price and relaxed fit, is exactly why we picked it. The color is so flattering on most skin tones and will pair easily with nude heels. Add a chunky necklace for a little stylish fun.

Theory - Lace Dress

4. It’s hard to beat Theory when it comes to modern simplicity. The mod silhouette of this dress gets a lady-like lace finish that will take you from a daytime wedding to a great night out in urban style. We love how this contemporary fitting style just skims the body, and is demure with it’s crewneck and short sleeve. Have some fun with colorful heels or go classic with black or nude. We’ll be seeing more of lace through the fall, too, making this a great find. (Note: The model is 5’10” in a size 4, so it won’t be this short on most of us.)

MILLY - Butterfly Scoop-Back Silk Top
X
5. We were delighted to see one of Milly’s best selling styles on sale – especially in this eye-catching blue. The sleeve is everything, so you can keep the rest of your outfit simple – a slim skirt, trousers, or jeans will do it. The scoop in the back is sexy, but you can still easily wear a bra with it. If you dare, try the white version – so elegant. At this price, it’s worth going for both. (We might suggest sticking with white wine if you go with the white, though.)

Club Monaco - Celeste Sheath Dress

6. This tailored dress from Club Monaco is perfect for an evening business function, or a more formal dinner. It looks like a classic sheath at first glance, but take a closer look. The textured navy fabric has a touch of metallic flecking to it, and the trim looks like leather, for just a little sophisticated edge. This is easily a 3-season dress, so you’ll be delighted it’s in your closet when you need it.

7. We’ve mentioned lace, and it’s continued importance in fall. But putting aside what’s “in style” or not, this DVF skirt in Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is just beautiful. (The Sale is in preview now, and launches for the public on the 18th). The rich black is such a classic statement, and the zipper down the back of the skirt is the perfect accent to modernize this look. It easily dresses up with a silk or chiffon blouse – a silk blazer would be beautiful, too. But you can also give it a tougher edge for work by pairing it with a simple sweater (any silhouette would work) or menswear-styled button down shirt.

8. Dark wash jeans are a great go-to for a fun night out. They can get dressed up or down and are seasonless. These skinny jeans from J Brand gets a lot of praise for their contemporary fit that works on many body types because the rise isn't too low and the wash is dark and clean - no distressing in this black wash, which is very slimming.

9. We always need the perfect little black bag for an evening out or a formal event. This leather one from Joie has a modern edge to it, not only in the slim silhouette, but by using rose gold-tone hardware along the edge and for the push lock. (In case you were wondering, it is absolutely not necessary to match your jewelry to the rose gold color.)

Mackage - Henry Leather Sleeve Asymmetrical Long Coat

10. We’ve always been fans of Mackage’s sleek, well-made coats at Mark Shale. This one, in Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, is cool and so versatile. It’s great for a night out over your LBD (little black dress) or with dark jeans and heels or boots. The rib knitting in the sleeves allows for a slimmer fit in the arm without it feeling tight, which we admire – coats have such a prettier silhouette when the don’t look bulky, but still do their job of keeping us warm.
