No wonder my head was spinning after checking out all those designer clothes in the spring/summer collections and please, I do not want to talk about all the red carpet fashion frenzy. I’m going to save up first. For this cute little Vera Wang dress Mila Kunis was wearing with all the impossible folds intact and the black satin detailing accentuating my hips.

But what if by the time I save up for a dress like this (zillion years?) what if the whole asymmetrical folds and twists (see KStew in a Burberry twisted mini dress below) go out of style and something crazier kicks in?

It’s only logical that one should go for timeless pieces when they are starting their designer clothes collection. But hey, forgive me if I can’t get orgasmic looking at tiny lettering saying Prada or Givenchy on an LBD that looks exactly the same as every other piece I’ve ever seen give or take a strap or cut. So,  here are my options. I could either go for a totally maverick design that would always turn heads around, the kind only the bravest souls could try and one or two of them of them could pull it off.

This maddeningly complicated Marchesa dress Sarah Jessica Parker nonchalantly sported caught my eye. But then if only two people in the world can pull this off I’m pretty sure I wasn’t going to be one of them. That rules out the go-for-the-crazy-stuff option which was probably just the uber-confident, self-described sexy devil in my head trying to make me go for the splurge that I was going to regret my entire life. Pondering upon some more sensible options, I realized that if a dress is accentuated in beauty and splendor through your skin tone, it could never look impasse. This incredible Ellie Saab dress Gwyneth Paltrow sported for the Oscars does two things for her. The subdued color beautified by sequins and embroidery actually makes her skin look brighter. The second thing is it makes blond look blonder! The kind of dress that gets a “You look incredible,” instead of a, “Great dress.”

My other option is to invest in the shock and awe phenomenon I discussed in one of my previous posts. Mix the expected with just a little unexpected and the dress would never fade from memories. Just the way Sandra Bullock did while paying her tribute to late Alexander McQueen who was actually the man who brought in this ‘trend’ or rather just a simple reason how a dress could stand out till women wore dresses.
