Thursday Trend: Long Sleeve Minidress

06/06/13 | Alice + Olivia, Asos, BCBG, Fashion and Style, Oscar de la Renta, Thursday Trend, Zara

Now that the weather has become warmer I want to live in dresses all day long but unfortunately not every day can not be 75 and sunny! Celebs everywhere have been spotted rocking these long sleeve minidresses dresses and they’re quickly turning into the biggest trends of 2013.  Here are few of my favorite dresses:

When deciding whether this trend is right for you, know this: the long sleeved minidress trend is all about showcasing your legs. I’m sure many of you are like myself and love the joys of planning a new outfit and I LOVE picking and pairing items from my virtual closet, Polyvore.  Let your legs do the talking in either of these cute statement making dresses, one look for day and the other, for night:

Day: Off The Shoulder Long Sleeve Dress, Earrings, Necklace, Bag, and Shoes
Night: Alice + Olivia Azala Sequined Dress, Earrings, Shoes, and Clutch
What do you think of this trend? 
Will you be wearing a LSMD soon?

    I hadn’t really been paying attention (well, I never pay much attention to the current trends, oops), but I LOVE this! I am a modest dresser, just because that’s what makes me most comfortable, and I feel like I would be willing to wear a slightly shorter skirt if my top half were covered like this. Love this trend, might need to go find me some of those dresses!!!

    I looooove the night outfit. I don’t think I want to wear anything with long sleeves right now though haha…I tried the other day, and it was a bad idea.

    I love this trend, but I’m unfortunately a Florida girl… and it’s already WAY too hot so sport anything long sleeved. Love your picks, though! Have a fabulous weekend 🙂

    Long sleeve dresses are my FAVORITE thing ever. I have a super self conscious problem with my arms and always want to cover them up (hahahaha) so I love things with sleeves! I blame years of sports for giving me “big” arms!

    Kerry Washington steals the show in her dress! LOOOVE it. I’ve never worn one personally, but it’s a trend I can see myself wearing!

    That is a gorgeous trend! It gives such a nice silhouette. I was shopping for Vegas looks yesterday and was very tempted by a few long sleeved mini dresses, but I worried that it would be too hot for dancing in the club. They’re great for making a statement though!

    Cute! I just bought my first long-sleeve minidress for “going out” this past winter and love it, though I swear by casual cotton ones all spring long!
