    Ooh, the Alice + Olivia Elyse Dress is drop dead gorgeous. It reminds me of a turquoise frock Blake Lively wore to the Met not too long ago. What marvelous finds. I think I need a one shouldered wonder myself! :)

    I adore the one shoulder design dear CC... there's something entirely strong and feminine to it. The amazon goddess look. Also ♥ that Oscar de la Renta Resort dress, is it plum also... I think that might be my dream dress.

    Lastly and most importantly, I read your guest post on the Fash Pack (a great blog name) and loved what you wrote and shared!

    I never really have the confidence to wear one shoulder dresses or tops... I think it's because I really dislike my arms. It's a shame because I really do like some of those outfits!

    One shoulder dresses are tres chic but I agree with someone above who said it would be tough to incorporate this look in everyday life.
    In fact, there was a drool-worthy grey tweed Michael Kors one in this month's Marie Claire.

    Lovely post as always, CC :)

    lovely post. Definitely feeling the asymmetry. The only problem is that it always requires very specific bras that don't show at the top and don't fall down! Nothing is more unattractive than a lady pulling her strapless bra up... ;)
