Last weekend I was at my brother-in-law’s birthday party and found myself in enthusiastic conversation about — what else — pockets! Yes, pockets. Those cozy little storage devices that are turning up more & more in women’s fashion. I tell ya, not only are pockets super convenient, they also make great dinner party talk!
The consensus of all the women around the dinner table was simple: say yes to pockets! I love having a spot to store my keys, cell phone, Burt’s Bee Lip Balm, or extra ponytail holder. And if I’m standing around a party, it’s always nice to know my hands have a home when they’re feeling fidgety.
So the next time you’re trying on a fabulous dress in the fitting room and you realize it also has pockets — my recommendation is to BUY IT! Here are a few cute pocket dress options:
Love this bold ruffled dress from Lulus for $58.
And this fun colorblock cocktail dress for $59 also from Lulus.
Work dresses with pockets? I’ll take two! (below: Shirtdress $79.50 from Loft)
Or this cute patterned dress from the cleverly named Hand in Pocket for $86.
Pockets are also turning up in swoon-worthy bridal gowns…
And in adorable bridesmaid dresses, like this – perfect for my tissues!
Even the celebs are jumping on this trend, like the smokin’ Jennifer Aniston at the premiere of “Horrible Bosses.” Eat your heart out, Brad.
