The Lace Dress: Get the Look for Less
Seeing the lovely Emily Blunt in this bold red dress this past week just reminded me of the fact that the lace dress has really become a wardrobe staple.
Year after year, it shows up on the racks in virtually the same format -- and it's a fantastic way to look a little bit (or a lot, depending on the cut) sexy, without showing too much skin.
The good news? There's a pretty lace dress out there for every shape, size and budget.

Here are some of my favorites -- including the one I'm getting myself this spring ...
Dying to get Emily's look? This Helene Berman dress (The Outnet, $185) gives you the look -- and the label-- at a more affordable price.
Or you could opt for something more casual but still of-the-moment with this lovely sea green lace dress (Topshop, $150).

Finally, here's the one I'm choosing -- another classic retro cut that never goes out of style. And this Laundry by Shelly Segal lace dress (Last Call, $72 on sale), originally $195, is also an amazing price!
