I'm always searching for the unexpected. When you've seen practically every style of clothing out there, you yearn for new trends for excitement. This BCBG Max Azria Painted Squares Banded Waist Dress ($89, originally $178) is certainly pretty from the front, but what I'm most smitten by is the back, because it's unexpectedly cool. The contrast-stitched straps are also fun and provide a nice contrast from the busy print. Now is the ideal time for dresses so make yourself the owner of this sale item.
