Runway to Reality: NYFW Fall 2012

New York Fashion Week has come and gone, but the beautiful dresses that went down the runway left us all daydreaming still. Luckily for those girls who have formal events to attend <like prom for example> have perfect excuse for doing so. Alas! Daydreaming is all they’ll ever do unless money grows in their backyard trees.

While the average girl can’t afford high-profile designer duds, they still have within their reach a fabulous alternative: MissesDressy!

If you were paying close attention, you would notice that somber hues seemed to be the choice of colors during NYFW, but there were also few splashes of bold colors here and there which accompanied the reds, blacks, and silver metallic colors of the dresses that sashayed down the runways.

Diane von Furstenberg probably had the most brights in a collection. Among them were the simple strapless dress in teal and alluring red halter dress as seen on the pictures below along with their MissesDressy counterpart:

While Diane von Furstenberg’s Fall 2012 RTW collection sent dresses in bold hues down the runway, Hervé Léger by Max Azria, and Lela Rose both had a somber vibe in their collection. Nevertheless, it wasn’t all humdrum due to the interesting patterns and prints that were featured on the dresses.

Reem Acra seemed to have also gotten the memo to present somber hues in her collection, but there were also a few pieces that somehow strayed from the dark, depressing tones. Among them were these interestingly patterned metallic gowns:
