Birthdays are a time to have fun, let loose, and steal the spotlight (if you’re the Birthday Girl)! As my birthday is coming up this weekend, I have many birthday events to attend in my honor and I still have yet to find the perfect birthday dress. Last year, I had an amazing birthday and had the perfect dress to go with it and now I am feeling the pressure to make this one even better. A little birdie told me to check out polyvore.com for inspiration and I found so many beautiful pieces to fall in love with. Here are a few that I hope to take a note from and make them my own…
I really think that the details make the outfit and I love the detailed beading and embroidery on this dress. It gives the dress a little bit of sparkle without going over the top. The lace accents and airy ruffles make this dress extra feminine. The dress has a delicate, vintage feel that I adore, but the white is not a good color for my fair skin.

The next dress is the complete opposite of the first, but has some similar elements. This LBD has a sweetheart neckline that adds the femininity I liked in the first dress, but its simplicity in form and zipper detail make this dress a little more bold. It has a tougher look that stands in stark contrast to the numerous girly details of the white dress. At polyvore.com, I found an almost identical dress for $68 from ardenb.com (which is already a steal!), but this one is from forever21.com and will definitely leave plenty of room in my wallet for some amazing shoes and accessories!

I love the simplicity of black and white, but some bright color is always nice to add a little punch to an outfit. These three dresses take a basic black top and pair it with a vibrant skirt piece that makes them mature, but fun! I could see myself wearing the first two out to a birthday dinner then out for drinks and the third is a little more casual- perfect for a birthday lunch.

This last dress is a perfect option because the color makes it stand out without being obnoxious, and the style can transition from day to dinner to evening. Add sandals for a day look, heels and a cardigan for dinner, and then bold accessories for a night out on the town! I really like that the little feminine touches make it something special and it accents the Birthday Girl’s radiance, but doesn’t steal the show.
