Friday Fashion: Elie Saab

This is an auspicious day: I found a designer whose designs I like, and would actually buy and wear if I had a big pile of money in my back yard. Here are a few of my favorites from Elie Saab's Fall 2010 lineup.

I could see myself wearing this one to church:


Or this one (with a camisole):


I like this one too:


The bandage neckline and body-hugging skirt catch my eye on this one:



And this jacket! Oh, I like this jacket!:


I don't know what this is supposed to be; some sort of new camouflage? But I like it:



And something lacey:


Can I wear this one, pretty please? (with a long nude slip underneath...):



I wish I had a red carpet event to go to:



On second thought, maybe I want this one instead:



Or maybe this one:



I can't believe that I liked over HALF of this designer's collection. I'm sure it helps that many of the street length dresses were knee length--much more desirable from my 48-year-old point of view than the shirt-length dresses other designers are showing.

It's probably good thing I don't have lots of money or I would want to spend it all on these dresses!
