Lovely Margaret is celebrating her 30th this month and is stuck in a rut. She says, “I’m on the lookout for the perfect dress for my 30th!!!! I tend to wear black, but think I want to jazz it up a bit. Any suggestions?”
Marge, you can wear black any day, but for your big 3-0, I think some color is in order! This lovely $240 polka dot dress by Thread Social is party perfect, and comes with a sash for you to tie yourself in a bow. Accessorize with gold accents like these Giuseppe Zanotti slingbacks:

If you’re still not so into color, why not try a fun leopard print like this Tibi Leopard-print jacquard dress? Uplift the look with silver shoes, a silver clutch, and a pop of berry lipstick:

Both dresses are on the pricey side, so get a few more birthday dress options for less here:
Would you rock these looks on your birthday?

I love the purple and gold (shout out to the ques), but the first dress looks a lil’ Sweet 16 with the bow/sash. I think the second look is more approps for a 30th Birthday.
