It would have been nice if the name of this Multi-color "Boob" dress by Filippa K were some hint, some promise of, well, any help it could provide for us in that area.

Unfortunately, the dress has nothing to do with "support" or "enhancement."

Fortunately, the purple (bloom), taupe (bark) and white color blocked dress has everything to do with staying stylishly cool through the heat of summer. Strapless means it can be worn out in the sunshine without the thret of tan marks, 100% viscose is cool to the touch, and the ruched waist makes the dress easy and comfortable to wear.

The dress is available from Matthew Izzo for $189.

We're definitely sure we love the maxi dress that is long on attention this season, and surely into the summer. However, we're not sure we can actually pull the floor-length style off during the day.

That's why we're going to go with an inexpensive dress to start, to see how we feel after running around town this weekend meeting friends for brunch, running errands, and possibly grabbing a cocktail before sunset. Victoria's Secret Maxi Bra-top dress is only $98. It has a built-in shelf bra for support, an open cut-out back, and empire waist, ruched front, and falls 41" from the natural waistline. The dress comes in the color shown, ultra teal, and black.

It's Spring, which means you have to do the roommate shuffle in just a few short months when you head back home for the summer. Finding someone to sublet your place is a real pain.

Unless you're Tara Eisenberg and Inessah Selditz, who found each other looking for apartments, and ended up creating Sublet, an eco-friendly clothing line.

The Alison Dress is made of 30% organic cotton, 67% bamboo, and
3% spandex. The Alison dress has a deep V-neckline with graceful pleating throughout the front and back and a contrast twill tape at the empire waist. Obviously, I love this dress because it has pockets.

The dress comes in natural, black, and olive, and is available at Sublet's website for $242.

I'm so hopelessly in love with this dress by Isadora Clothing. It's called the Chameleon Dress II, and it's one of the most amazingly versatile pieces of clothing I've ever seen. It can be worn in a variety of different ways, including with sleeves or without, strapless, or even as a skirt.

It's a one-size fits most dress, so it's the kind of thing that your best friends will definitely try to "borrow" from you all of the time. This dress can be customized, but generally it's available in a super comfy rayon/poly jersey material and comes in colors like spring green, military blue, black, plum, charcoal and bright teal blue.

Think you'll never be able to figure out how to wear it all of the many ways seen here? Never fear, because when you order, you also get a DVD which gives you instructions on 7 different ways to wear this dress. I'm resisting temptation for now, but I can't help but think that the $145 price tag really isn't much of a splurge considering how truly versatile this dress is. Get your own at Isadora Clothing.

Yes, it's still February so technically, Spring is a long way off, but it's always a good thing to prepare your wardrobe in advance!

In fact, the Stripes Pink Madras dress from French designer Manoush is almost a summer piece made of 100% cotton madras. The ultra girly minidress has 100% silk trim and embroidered flowers on the hem. The dress would be perfect with a tiny little pink or white cardigan and a pair of white patent Mary Janes.

Available from Revolve Clothing for $253.

I know that after Valentine's Day, the last thing you want to see is another red dress, but I couldn't resist this gorgeous thing.

The Satin Smock Dress from Derek Lam is a made of red hammered satin (it also comes in black). The tunic style with pintuck detail at the bust makes it easy to wear and totally forgiving for all figures. Three-quarter length sleeves are functional -- they stay out of your way if you're working away at your desk (dress down by wearing it over a pair of leggings), or having lunch with a girlfriend (dress up with patent peep-toe shoes and clutch).

The dress is $1,090, available at net-a-porter.

There's nothing I like more than throwing on something comfortable on Saturday morning and wearing it all weekend until I have to change into work clothes on Monday. Yes, and when I mean "all weekend," I mean wearing it for whatever errands, lunch, outing, events I have over two days.

Normally, an all-weekend outfit is made up of a pair of sweats, a C+C tank, and when I have to go out, a fitted hoodie. However, there are some weekends that require a little more effort. Made of a blend of cotton and stretchy Modal, the Pima Henley Dress is almost as soft and comfortable as a sweats outfit, but is probably slightly better than sweats for meeting a friend for coffee on a Sunday afternoon (but only slightly!). Three-quarter length sleeves won't get in the way of whatever "work" you have to do around the house like blogging, paying bills, or if you have to, doing the previous week's dirty dishes.

The best part of the dress? The all-weekend price of $39.99.

The dress is on sale at Gap.

If you're still afraid to wear yellow, this dress is most definitely not for you.

Tory Burch's Bay Dress is a bright canary yellow, which probably accounts for the dress's color name, "Yellow Bird." You can't be shy about standing out because the dress is not only the brightest yellow I've seen short of being neon, but the fabric itself, made of a blend of silk and polyester, is shiny with a shimmering silver wave pattern. The shoulders feature silver and gold beaded buckle-looking applique that make the dress look a bit like a jumper.

If you're feeling Big Bird, the dress is available from Revolve Clothing for $425.

I am torn about the Runway Cashmere Tunic Dress by Michael Kors. The cable-knit sweater dress looks absolutely wonderfully warm and cozy, and yet because it's such a thick knit cashmere with a heavy, loose turtleneck, I am afraid that I won't get much wear out of it before I start buying up Spring clothes and (as usual) trying to wear them too early.

The dress is super versatile, though, because it can be worn belted or loose (the belt is sold separately), and as a dress, or as a tunic over leggings.

Available from eLuxury for $897 on sale from $1.995.

You can bet that you won't be the only lady in red on Valentine's Day, but in Diane von Furstenberg's Volante Dress, you'll definitely stand out.

The dress is classic DvF as a wrap, but romantic ruffles add a twist. There are ruffles at the buttoned cuffs, and at the neckline, which is only for the woman who has the guts (and chest) to wear one so deep and revealing. For a sexy Valentine's Day look, I'd go with a pair of strappy sandals.

Available from Pink Mascara on sale for $297.

This dress isn't for the faint of heart, nor for the thick of waist. Young Fabulous and Broke takes just about the most feared design elements known to dresses and puts them into the Striped Shirt Dress.

As if wide, horizontal stripes weren't enough, the stripes are ever so eye-catching in a deep brick color and high contrast cream. With viscose and Lurex, the material will show every - ahem - curve on your body. The sleeves are bracelet length, which make them easier to wear for work, but the shortened sleeves will make short arms looks shorter. But hey. if you've got it, flaunt it, whatever it is.

Available from Neiman Marcus on sale for $140.

Already thinking of Spring? I certainly am and am looking forward to the first warm (dry) day I can wear something as fresh and cute as the Buonissimo Swirl dress from Nanette Lepore. The simple sheath is made of either a red or cobalt blue swirl pattern on cotton fabric. The front looks innocent enough with a cascade of bead detail from a high round neckline down the chest, but features a large keyhole opening in the back. In the Spring, it'll be bare legs and a pair of gleaming white round toe pumps.

Available from Nordstrom for $295.

I love soft, neutral colors. I love 100% silk with satin banding. I love the comfort and ease of a wide, open neckline that doesn't choke and short, ruffled sleeves that don't get in my way. I love no waistline. I love minidresses that can go from daytime in the office to early evening at that cute bistro on the corner.

But more than anything, I love a good deal.

Mint Jodi Arnold's Drop Shoulder Crystal Pleated Dress, available exclusively at ShopBop, is originally priced at $462, but is on sale for $138. That's a hot 70% off the original price!

Both the dress shown in off-white and the dark gray color are on sale.

The name of the dress is "She's in Love," and that might be because I'm head over heels for Joie's sweater dress, or it might just be because I'm in love!

Eh. It's the dress.

Joie's She's in Love dress is perfectly warm for mid-January because it's made of an ivory-colored cashmere and wool blend. The deep V-neck is cut off with a slight gather just before it gets too risque to wear the dress to Sunday night dinner with the famil. The long sleeves let out to bells, which matches the slight fare in the skirt.

The dress is on sale at Amazon for $129.99, which is quite a deal given that the dress can do double duty as a tunic top over leggings.

I love the look of large tropical or floral prints on over-sized dresses, but sometimes I'm afraid of looking like Mrs. Roeper in a muu muu. There's a way to get around that, of course, by shortening the hem, updating the shape, and adding a few details, like a simple (and super inexpensive) dress from Delia's.

The Sophia dress is made of a royal blue and white floral pattern on a satin-finish fabric. It features a wide, gentle scoop neckline that doesn't need a necklace but would be fine with an amulet on a long chain, slightly puffed half-sleeves that gather just below the elbows, and a contrasting trim at the hem that falls 34". I'm seeing bare legs and pair of dull gold flats.

Available at Delia's for $44.50.
