I'm turning 30 in a week, so what better way to celebrate my foray into a new decade than with a party dress. Fall styles seems to be emphasizing classic and colorful pieces, and these two dress are saturated in both. The first is a beautiful Oscar de la Renta fuchsia dress that costs about two months salary for most young women. However, the second dress is an extremely affordable Isaac Mizrahi for Target dress that plays on a brilliant fall color and the classic style of the designer dress. Here's to my 30s, and the hope that maybe at some point in my new decade I can afford a designer party dress to ring in my 40s!

It's been over 110 degrees the last few weeks, and I am ready for cooler weather and cooler fashion. Fall is still a few months away (and in Phoenix it is more likely four months away: think November!), but I just can't wait to post some cute transitional dresses that can take you from the HOT HOT HOT days to mild but still a little balmy nights!
