Shawl Collar Evening Dress from Chic Star

I’m always looking for that one perfect evening dress for autumn, something that isn’t as casual as a summer sundress, but isn’t a warm winter dress, either.  I’ve been picking up a lot from the recent trends toward a more Asian inspired look for clothing, and just when I thought I would give up, I hit the jackpot.This shawl jacquard dress from ChicStar is pretty much everything I’ve been looking for in an autumn dress.

I love the rich red (though it comes in black as well, if you prefer), the shawl collar plays into this season’s trend for wide shoulders, and the look is that perfect compromise between summer and fall.  I think with black peep toe pumps, this could be a real winner for me.  The empire waist makes it a more comfortable fit, as well, and I love the tailored vintage feel as well.
