Maria Bianca Nero Day 1: Magenta Cocktail Ruched Dress

Hello ladies and gents! It’s a new week which means a new series of outfits! This time featuring another Los Angeles-based designer Maria Bianca Nero whose collections are available in several upscale boutiques around the country as well as Neiman Marcus locations.

Maria Bianca Nero specializes in evening and cocktail dresses, however, she also has cute casual ones in her collection. What I love about some of her casual collection is that it really isn’t too casual. In fact, you can wear it to a cocktail too. With little tweaks, you can turn some of her dresses from a day to an evening look.

As much as you see me wear affordable brands here on my blog, I also love to wear designer ones. Simply because they are not mass-produced where millions of other women also wear them. I believe most of you can relate. Sometimes, you just want to look uniquely good.

If you are ever planning to go to a semi-formal or formal event in the near future, I suggest you check out this magenta dress. With a haltered cowl neckline and ruched design, it is flattering to most body types. To locate a retailer that stocks Maria Bianca Nero Collection, please click here.
