Teal-ing Blue

This just in! Teal dresses are totally hot right now!

Did you know?

Everyone is wearing them.

Like Jennie Garth.



And Amy Adams. And Mary-Louise Parker. And Kate Hudson.



And you could be wearing one, too! As it happens, Shabby Apple has a couple great teal dresses to choose from. You lucky (blue) devils!

Try the 90 Words Per Minute secretary dress for an upscale day at the office.



Spice it up with a pair of wild animal print pumps, or cinch it with a wide black patent belt. If jewelry is more your accessory style, off-set it with a stylishly subtle cuff and a pair of simple silver earrings. A sequined cardigan or a chic, well-fitting blazer can easily transition you from a day at the office to a night on the town.

Or how about the Mediterranean V-collar dress?




I think I have already expressed how much I love this one. Slip on some brightly colored stilettos and wear it to a spring wedding, or pair it with some sparkly flats for a classy garden party. Top it off with a bold headpiece in flowers, or feathers.

And, voila! You'll be ready for a red carpet of your very own.

I don't "get" the dress at all. The collar looks ok in the picture, but I can't imagine the silhouette in profile. Is the tip of the V-collar sewed down or do you get stuck things under it? Does the pleats move when you move. Very strange and not flattering at all. (the shoulder are too wide)

Overall all the pictures on Shabby Apple have bad lighting. So many times did I want to order a dress but then don't hit the purchase button because I can't see it right. The "Antiquated Dress" is beautiful but I can't see a close up.

what body style does the V-collar dress fit well? I love it but can't decide if it'll fit my hips...

Oh and Mimi, the Antiquated Dress looks just like the pictures. I have it - it's beautiful.

Leah, do you have a picture of you wearing it?

hello, ladies! the easter dresses should be up! look for some darling choices, including bon voyage, some like it hot, barefoot in the park and pretty in pink.

leah, the v-collar dress (mediterranean) fits best on athletic, pencil, tall and short body types. hope that helps!

and, thanks for mentioning the vignettes. we'll make sure to add that to our list.
