Navy blue middle round dress needed...suggestions?
My daughter needs a navy blue dress for the second/middle round of January recruitment. Navy blue seems to be hard to find this year...if anyone has time to look for suggestions, please post them! Classic and conservative is in order.

I have not seen anything, but I know that sites like Macy's and Dillards will allow you to search all dresses by color, so perhaps that will help.

^^^All I've been able to find so far are "ocean blue" -- navy doesn't seem to be in the color palette this year.

^^^ Thanks! I don't think she'd like that style well enough to wear it again...she likes fitted or fit and flair. I think she'd be safe with Lilly for wardrobe check. We'll have to be sure, since she has recruitment right after break. What about these two:
Kind of blah, but a safe Lilly buy for only $88.
This one is pricier, but more her style:

I love the second one, but if you took the first one, and found a cute belt and the right accessories, it could be great too.

I love that second Lilly style!
We have to wear navy blue dresses for our philanthropy round, mine is from J. Crew. If you check out the bridal/bridesmaid section, they have some promotion running now for 30% off. It's expensive, but I'm actually wearing mine to a wedding over winter break as well!

And I know not everyone likes eBay, but it has been my SAVIOR for recruitment attire. I've gotten some J.Crew, Lilly, all NWT for a nice discount.
ASOS also has tons of navy options: http://us.asos.com/women/

The guidelines are very strict/limiting on jewelry/accessories (studs, no statement necklaces or bracelets or rings), which I forgot about, so the second one might be better because it has an interesting neckline.

I've been looking for navy bridesmaids dresses and have seen a ton at Modcloth:
http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses...ght-moon-dress
Some lace, though it looks boring in the picture. Zooming in made me think it would look nice.
nordstrom
This reminded of the Lilly dress, but it has some sequins.
Nordstrom 2
Short sleeve lace. Depending on your daughter's endowment for how deep the v neck goes.

^^^I think that modcloth one looks like her style. I'm sure she will appreciate all the suggestions. I'm picking her up at the airport later this afternoon.

I never log in anymore, but I thought I could also be of help!

This is another simple Modcloth find. I just bought it and wore it to a staff member's daytime wedding. It's really comfy!
