According to Women’s Wear Daily, fashionable society women have lately been showing up for all those events we haven’t been invited to in deep shades of blue. We’re not sure if it’s a comment on the sad state of the economy (and if that’s the case, for lots of us, red might be more appropriate) but we’re liking it as an elegant alternative to black. We don’t have a society budget either, so some blue picks for less that are anything but depressing:
1. Natalia Knit Dress, $34.50, Delia’s
 
2. Strapless Knit Dress, $49.99, Gap

3. Women’s Velvet Trim Satin Top, $20, Old Navy
4. Kimchi Blue Petal Bib Dress, $39.99, Urban Outfitters
5. Hammer Satin Dress, on sale $49.99, French Connection
