It’s hard to pass up shopping for new dresses as spring approaches. Most stores usually have an overwhelming selection. There are countless styles and event-specific dresses to choose from: day, evening, cocktail, mini, maxi, sleeveless, strapless… the list goes on. Check out some of the dresses I love for under $100 on beso.

Gap Khaki Drawstring Shirt Dress

Gap Khaki Drawstring Shirtdress, $59.50
is a classic, versatile dress that can be worn to the office or running errands on the weekend. The key is to accessorize since a neutral solid is like a blank canvas. Choose a bright color handbag, chunky bangles or play up the military-inspired details with gladiator sandals.

Spiegel Signature Collection Floral-Print Jersey Dress

This dress has a figure-flattering pencil shape. Wear it to work with a cardigan or switch it up for evening by carrying a clutch.

Bag It: Hello Metallic! November 20th, 2009 By guest contributor

– Staci from HandbagReport.com

Tory Burch Metallic Wristlet, $155

It’s time to replace your black, brown, and tan handbags with a metallic one to instantly transform your look from simple to glam with minimal effort. Allow me to take a moment to dispel the myth that metallic should be worn only to a formal event. Since they complement just about everything from a t-shirt to a cocktail dress, metallic accessories are worth the investment.

Choose a medium to large size tote, hobo, or satchel for an everyday bag that is practical and functional. Since metallics are naturally elegant, you can go straight from work to happy hour or dinner without worrying about whether to switch bags. If you want to carry a metallic bag on special occasions, consider a clutch or wristlet as a chic alternative to the little sequin or jeweled bag.

Metallic is a trend with staying power because of its versatility. Women appreciate options within a trend because there is room to express individuality. Whether you opt for silver, gold, or a bright color metallic, there are plenty of choices that make you want to shout, “goodbye neutrals!”
