A Little Shoulder - A Lotta Sexy

I'm such a huge fan of one-shoulder tops, whether they be on dresses or just tops-I think they're fab. Most importantly (for me), I think they accentuate my shoulders nicely, which is good for me, b/c I find my shoulders wide and awkward at times...maybe the one-shoulder strappy thing hides the fact that my shouldesr are wide? Stupid gymnastics! I dunno...what I do know is that I am so happy the one shoulder look is "in" again! I've seen a few on the runways, but not too many in the stores yet...maybe they'll come out in full force when we get closer to spring? I'll cross my fingers. In the meantime, here are some I found online:


As U Wish Juniors Gold Metallic One Shoulder Dress - $34.99 (from $58)


Red by Marc Ecko One-Shoulder Print Dress - $59


Maggy London One Shoulder Silk Dress - $138


bebe Sexy One Shoulder Dress - $149


LaROK Cleo One Shoulder Dress - $198


YAYA AFLALO black jersey 'Noir' one-shoulder dress $198 (from $330)


Carmen Marc Valvo One-Shoulder Taffeta Dress $565

Of course, you guys know me and my unlucky skill of always picking out the most expensive item of a rack...the Carmen Marc Valvo is my fave. Just look at the back of this!

Sexy and classy all in one chic package...it doesn't get much better than this. Hmm...maybe I should get this one for my rehearsal dinner?

Yes, one-shoulder tops and dresses are in full force this spring, so within a month you should have lots and lots to choose from. My fave of these is the red one on the bottom.

I would say I love the black Bebe dress, its flattering with a touch of elegence, and the slight pencil cutting is pretty sweet.

i like the yaya and surprisingly the bebe one. while ive never been to a wedding, i think the bebe one may be a bit too on the sexy side (but u are the bride after all!) i think the last one would be pretty for the dinner, (crap! why did i pick the most expensive one!)

i agree andrea!

hey candid cool - oh yea, the only one here I'd consider for the rehearsal is the last one...that bebe is waaaay too sexy for my style for a wedding event...unless it were for the bachelorette party! heeeey!

I love this blog about the one shoulder dresses... it's so nice to see a collection of fabulous designs. I got a great dress by Phillip Lim , similar to the black one you featured. It's actually very elegant and flattering.

They even price matched me with another site that had it on sale...

Great store.

Thanks Elizabeth! Your Phillip Lim sounds lovely! I always love their designs from the runway collections. Price matched? That's nice - was it the Phillip Lim web site?
