Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Happy Columbus Day! ShopBop has marked down a ton of new stuff (including a number of items I previously recommended). There are a ton of cute dresses for parties or dates, including this dark blue number from BB Dakota. I like the belt, the high (but still flattering, I think) V-neck neckline, and the pleats — it looks fun and festive, and I suspect it could be dressed up or down. It was $88, but is now marked to $61.60. BB Dakota Mary Wrap Dress with Belt Seen a great piece you'd like to recommend? Please e-mail tps@corporette.com. (L-2)
