Alexander Wang Contrast Sweater Dress

Illusion dresses or contrast panel dresses are EVERYWHERE. And they should be! The contrast panel helps gives the illusion of curves by slimming the waist line. Who doesn't want that? Just about every women's dress designer has a contrast panel dress in their collection in different materials and various colors. This Alexander Wang dress combines a sweater like panel with contrasting sides and the Zara version below is a great look for less.

Strappy pointed toe pump

Pointed toe pumps have returned. I was hesitant about returning to this look but this season's pointed toe pumps do not feature the extreme point that made pointed toe shoes look witch-like in the past. Pointed toe pumps are great for elongating the leg. I've also noticed another trend accompanying this season's pointed toe pumps-- the addition of either straps or a cap toe. Below are two of my favorite strappy pointed toe pumps.
