If you're in need of a little black dress, this one is quite lovely. It's made of flowy dark cotton with sweet flutter sleeves and pretty pintuck pleating down the front. And it ties in the back with a beautiful, long silk sash.

I don't know who Aunt Augusta is, but she must have excellent taste. I heart this navy jacket with its tropical flower buttons down the front and on the cap sleeves. But the best part of this garment is the back. It has a lovely band of white embroidered roses, and the fabric gathers beautifully at the waist for a slimming look.

This cashmere argyle sweater looks so comfy and warm. It comes in this pretty black, white, and gray pattern or a cute light gray with light pink and white diamonds. Plus, it's been marked down to a reasonable price.

Pretty fuschia and black flowers decorate this flowy feminine top. I like the funky drawstring waist and three-quarter sleeves. I don't usually go for a square collar, but on this shirt, it's kind of cute.

Those of you who watch Project Runway can back me up on this: Rami Kashou is the contestant to beat. So far, I have coveted every outfit he has designed on the show. His designs are feminine and sexy, without being too skimpy. This plum rayon jersey top, also designed by Rami, is no exception, with its flattering cut, flutter sleeves, and gorgeous low back. You can find more of his garments for sale here.

This '60s style sheath dress looks fresh in tweed. Also cool: it has two low pockets, so you can pull a Napoleon Dynamite and carry around your tater tots. Sweet! It comes in either gray or brown tweed.

This little black dress made by Michael Stars has a slimming ruched empire waist. And it's got this great adjustable keyhole neckline that's sexy without being trashy. It's the perfect dress for a holiday party or hot date.

This pretty cardigan, which comes in six bright colors, is made of a soft, light wool cashmere blend. But the best part is the little crystal buttons down the front. They really dress up the sweater and give it some character.

$79.00, J. Crew

This soft cashmere blend top isn't just another boring sweater. It has adorable puff sleeves and a pretty cowl neck. It also comes in black or brick red.

This swingy gray halter top is gorgeous. I love the metallic braided collar and the twisted straps. Wear it with some dangly earrings for a night on the town or with a nice jacket for a more demure look.
