I don't know about you but when I seem formal dresses it makes me want to get all gussied up and go to a special event.

I think every woman should wear a formal dress or cocktail dress at least once in their life but that's just my opinion and obviously the girly girl in me is coming out 🙂

Beautiful Dresses

Sadly I think the last time I wore a really fancy and beautiful dress was my own wedding where I got to wear at least 3 different outfits lol. I've been to other weddings of course but haven't had the occasion to wear a cocktail dress or more formal dress. Oh well maybe it's for the young or those getting married but maybe not I haven't completely given up yet. However that aside if you're looking or know someone who is there is a wonderful website that has all the formal dresses you can think of and more.

Looking for that perfect little black dress for example? Check out DressFirst, they have a whole section on their website just for little black dresses and as I peruse the pages there is something for everyone. I wouldn't want one too short or tight as I've got curves some I want and some I don't lol but there's a few dresses there that I like. Check these ones out.

Aren't they gorgeous and for formal wear and cocktails dresses the prices are quite reasonable too in my opinion. For some reason as well my eye is always drawn to white tops and dresses even though I know I really shouldn't by them, hello it's white asking for disaster right? It's so hard though when I see ones like the one below I just want it but really where would I ever wear it?! I think I would get more use out of one of the cute little black dresses but still it doesn't stop me from looking 🙂

I also like the color red and I'm told it suits me but funny enough while I own tops and other clothing items in red I don't have a red dress so maybe it's about time I got one. What do you think of this one? I love it!

I just had to share one more as who doesn't love looking at wedding dresses whether we're a soon to be bride or have been married for years or not married at all the dresses re just beautiful and it's just lovely to see the amazing designs. I like to look at see what's out there and it just amazes me sometimes. Considering how well made these dresses look and the styles they are amazing priced. The first one is less than $200 that is amazing for a wedding dress, that's cheaper than the one I bought and I got it from a liquidation store!

  3. I came upon this article and decided to check out the Dress First website and Boy! was I ever pleasantly surprised by all the gorgeous dresses at such great prices. It has been a few years since I've had an opportunity to dress up or attend a formal event, but I see a few dresses I'd like to buy now and keep until one comes up. I really like some of the cocktail dresses & gowns in Black & White!

  5. I just love all the styles and colors of their dresses for all occasions. My daughter was even looking at them and she loved them too. Nice to know they still make some cute dresses and that you can order one online.

  6. My favorite internet "window shopping" is on Etsy for costumes. I love handmade costumes. I have made some myself and love going to the Renaissance Faire. If there is an excuse to dress up, I'll do it 🙂

  7. I pretty much online window shop just about everything. If I get an email from a shopping site, I check it out. If I think of an item, I go look for it on Amazon. I tell people I can't waste time online and, no, I will not play Candy Crush with you! But I do sure waste a lot of time shopping online! And yes, I am going to save that site because a $200 wedding dress is something to remember. Thnx! E

  11. I'm not much of a girly-girl, but for some reason I love to look at fancy dresses too. I love that red dress (I don't have any red dresses either). I've been telling my husband that I want an excuse to dress up and go out.. our one year wedding anniversary is next weekend, and I'm thinking of making it a tradition that I dress up fancy for dinner for our anniversary. Then I know I'll have one day a year I can dress up if I want (and the timing is good too - not too hot, not too cold)!

  15. OMG I LOVE the first dress. I have no occasions for wearing such a thing but it's gorgeous. And that red Crimson gown at the end? Yeah I'd get married in that in a heartbeat

  16. I love the burgundy one. My daughter was elected as one of the 9th grade representatives for Homecoming. I panicked because we live in a small town and had less than 2 weeks to get her a dress. I actually found on at a thrift store that she loved. We then splurge a little on accessories and still spent less than $50.

  17. Oh I love the dresses!
    As for window shopping - wedding dress shopping is a huge one for me. So far off from that but it's fine to get an idea in my head of what I want. I also love house window shopping. Pinterest helps that idea too! 🙂

  18. Oh my goodness can I please have a reason to wear that red ball gown? Sadly I too last got to wear a fancy dress to my wedding. Sigh.....

  19. I also love to look at beautiful fashion online. I love to pin beautiful outfits and dresses to my pinterest. I am engaged and absolutely love to look at bridal gowns as well as bridesmaids dresses. I still have all of my formal dresses from Prom and Snowball in high school, but I never have any occasion to wear them. The last time I was dressed to the nines was for a formal at my sorority when I was a freshman in college. Last year my brother's wife needed a formal dress to go to a military ball and I sent her some of my dresses to choose from. She had never been to a formal dance or bought a formal dress. I was so happy to help her.

  20. I studied 4 years of fashion 40+ years ago so I will never outgrow the desire to look at beautiful dresses both online and in person. These colors are my personal favorites, red, black and white, too.

  21. I used to wear dresses like these for many years as a model in shows and in a couple mags and it was so much fun. In my 30s I developed joint disease and severe arthritis and can barely walk and can't wear heels at all and who wants to wear a dress without heels?
