Where I buy Dresses

Rachel Rachel Roy

I love dressing up. 

I don't wear make up, like ever, for work... so I get very excited when there's a night planned with friends, food, drinks, and laughter because it often means I get to put on something fancy and doll up my face.

For fancy party dresses and special dates with my man:

Try Gilt (members only online shopping, great prices, great designers, love love love.)

Try Rent The Runway (rent designer, in style dresses for $30-$400 for 4 days)

Try J.Crew (they seem to run the "extra 30% off sale" promotion all-the-time, catch a great deal on super pretty dresses)

For Casual and Everyday dresses I shop here:

Try Target (I have 300% more luck buying dresses in the store than online, the pictures don't sell the dress well)

http://www.target.com/

Try Madewell (super cute, casual dresses with great fit and cuts)

http://www.madewell.com

For Quirky and Fun dresses, Casual to Party:

Try ASOS (inexpensive, youthful, different, sexy to casual - it definitely has it all)

http://us.asos.com/

Try Dorothy Perkins (also inexpensive but also pretty classy in fun cuts and styles)

Try RachelRoy (feminine but fun - different cuts and prints, drool worthy. They also tend to run a lot of "get extra 20% off sale" promotions)

For Business - the 9-5 grind and networking events:

I pretty much shop exclusively at banana republic or gap. Their styles are always clean, feminine, and professional.
