If you want a mod knit that kicks you in the stomach every time (and I mean that in the very best of ways), try the Deco baby doll dress from Alice + Olivia ($242). Miles of leg and a bold pattern make it a brave choice, but one that will pay off in double takes and free drinks. For a showstopping look that needs little thought and less accessorizing, throw it on with bare legs (or black tights - it's chilly out there), some lip gloss and a quick hair shake. And you're ready to rock the world. Or at least the restaurant.
