The Finer Things in Life: America the Beautifully Dressed

As much as we love our Balenciagas and Burberrys, sometimes it's nice to get a little patriotic with respect to our favorite American designers. One nation, under the deity of your choice, with liberty and luxury for us, right? Something like that. Since it's nearly the weekend, we're ready to go out, and how better to dress than in America's finest? We might even consider ditching the white wedding gown for some of these looks...

Zac Posen offers a ruffled blouse and skirt look (left) that travels well from a nice dinner out straight to the dance floor. The skirt has a cummerbund detail that works equally well for a non-traditional wedding ceremony - make the groom wear white and turn heads all the way down the aisle.

Speaking of non-traditional wedding wear, we love the black tie dominatrix librarian look of this Betsey Johnson satin bow blouse and corset skirt. The puff sleeves keep it pretty while the corset cummerbund makes it clear that you could easily be hiding a whip somewhere, and frankly we like presenting people with that kind of mystery. The last chance sale has us thirsting for all the Ralph Lauren we can get, and with his multitude of labels, there's certainly plenty to choose from. If only we could tear our eyes away from this gorgeous velvet halter dress long enough to focus on things we can actually afford... Just when we think we have Vera Wang pegged, she surprises us with this saucy little number, the plum-colored Embellished Metallic Dress. Take this one straight to the dance floor and let yourself glimmer, darling, you're gorgeous.
