let's talk elegance...

el·e·gance
/ˈeləɡəns/
noun
noun: elegance; plural noun: elegances
the quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance or manner; style.

V little compares with being described as elegant. It's a term seemingly reserved for royals {the Duchess of Cambridge comes to mind} and starlets {Marilyn Monroe anyone?} whom epitomize the term Old Hollywood Glamour; but sometimes there comes an occasion wherein you can play the elegant card for the evening via a fabu frock that's easy on the eyes, and the wallet {natch!} - like the affordable, adorable, uber-chic ihomecoming cheap elegant evening dresses {http://www.ihomecoming.com/elegant-c104258/}.

I love an evening gown in a dreamy jewel tone {sapphire, emerald, ruby} that features sparkles, sequins, pearls {oh my!}...anything that will make it feel a little more special than your basic black frock - and the pieces that make up the elegant evening of ihomecoming selection offer precisely that.

I appear to be on some sort of mermaid kick myself {I blame it on the fast-approaching summer season}, as all of the pieces I'm currently swooning over feature mermaid-inspired aesthetics; but if you're seeking a stunner that's a little more toned down {perhaps a column design}, you'll easily find something to sate your style appetite from the elegant evening from ihomecoming selection. Here, my 3 personal faves!

Charming Mermaid Floor-Length Sleeveless Beading Ruffles Evening Dress {$163.99}
That ruffled skirt adds a bit of a flirty flamenco vibe that makes me want to take this dress out dancing!

Charming Mermaid Floor-Length Sleeveless V Neck Beading Evening Dress {$393.99}
I always equate gold dresses {be them cocktail or evening cut} with Serena van der Woodsen, and this pretty is no different. I'm positively in love with the v-neck {it's so incredibly dramatic!}.

Chic Mermaid Sweetheart Pearls Floor-Length Sweep Train Evening Dress {$182.99}
The peplum kick is unexpected yet ultra sophisticated-meets-sexy, but what I love even more is the pearl detailing on the bodice {is it just me, or does it make you think of caviar?}.
Which of these dresses screams elegance to you?
