A Modcloth Dress Moment

I've ordered several dresses over the last week. But one thing is abundantly clear. I need to broaden my dress palette, since I would like to get in the habit of wearing a dress or skirt at least once a week.

Here's a few dresses I'd like to consider buying from Modcloth that aren't in the pink/purple/white realm!

Too Much Fun Dress in Red Anchors - I love the retro feel of this dress as well as the fact that I think it would be super simple to dress up or down.
Mermaid to Measure - Oddly enough, I do not have a LBD, and while I'm not certain this would be as versatile as I might want, I love the details of it (there's even a bow on the back!).
It Mustard been You - (is mysteriously missing from the website atm) I like the hit of sunshine in this dress that could easily have been more brown. I really love the delicate dot pattern, and love the idea of pairing this with a grey cardi-type sweater, an awesome pair of burgundy tights and tall brown boots.

Teal Tuesday - I love the brightness of this dress and while I think the sleves are too long for summer wear here in Phoenix... I do think it would be a fun, 3 season, addition to my current wardrobe.
Windy Day Date - I already have a yellow dress in on this list, but I love the shape, and pattern of this one. It reminds me of an old set of throw pillows my grandmother had that I always thought would have made a wonderful dress. It seemed such a waste of fabric.
Romance Holiday -  This dress is just too sweet for words (and that's undoubtedly why its sold out)
Flow Motion - There's something fun about this flowy frock. It would be great with a sparkly belt and some fun pumps.

Silt the One - I love the color orange. It's all over the place in my house. But it does strange things to my face - coloring wise - so this is a perfect option! I love the band of blue, and how the orange portion almost appears to be a pinafore!
Lining Up to See - There's something so wonderfully Marcel Marceau about this dress. I wouldn't wear it with a beret and pretend I was some crazy Parisian (or maybe I might), but I do love the possibility of pairing this with so many different color options!
Let's Polka Dot -  I know, I know, this last one is purple and thereby defeats the purpose of looking for dresses in other colors.... but it has LONG SLEEVES! and its at a length I don't find terribly skimpy!
