For Halloween last year, I was determined to dress as a Greek goddess…because, well…it seemed like a cheap costume — buy a big white sheet and pin in strategic places, then belt with some silk cord. It seemed easy enough…

…until the sheet started to fray everywhere I cut it. And it was stiff and didn’t drape well. And I couldn’t find silk cord anywhere. (On a side note: I ended up shredding the sheet on purpose and I went as a mummy instead!)

Though I had bad luck recreating this sexy style as a costume, I should have cracked open the piggy bank and sprang for something like this amazing dress from Lulus.com. Not only would it have been perfect for Halloween, but I would get some serious wear out of this unique frock all year long! Priced at , this great neutral dress creates an excellent foil for a few splashy bangles and some long danglies for your ears. Think Cleopatra when accessorizing — pick one large statement piece to amp it up, then line your eyes in a bold, dark liner. The beautiful, dramatic draping will do the rest of the work for you — the silhouette is universally flattering, so don’t let it intimidate you. This is a dress I’m dying to get my hands on!
