If there’s one dress every girl should have in addition to the classic LBD, it’s a lace dress. This one is the perfect marriage of ladylike and modern classic, with it’s A-line silhouette and midi length- plus it looks much more expensive than it is, which is always a bonus!
For an occasion like Valentine’s Day, nothing says romance quite like delicate lace, so a dress like this is the perfect choice. It also pairs just as nice with flats or strappy heels as it does pumps and works for tons of occasions beyond a romantic evening. And thanks to lace currently trending, options are endless with tons of variations to choose from, no matter what length or silhouette you prefer.
Whether you’ve got a romantic date night planned this Valentine’s Day or a girl’s night out, wear something you feel amazing in that celebrates you!

STATEMENT COAT
As someone who loves a great black dress, but craves color, I often top off a monotone look with a colorful coat.
