That Little Black Dress

You can never go wrong with that LBD (Little Black Dress) accessorized with lustful pearls and smokey eyes. Let us give you some inspiration on how to work that Black dress with an attitude. A true classic that would never fade in time,  the dress simply speaks for itself. As Nina Garcia stated in her book The One Hundred, "The price is immaterial, since it can always be justified by the rules of fashion math: cost divided by number of times worn equals: PRICELESS." Given a number of years, you can wear it over and over again, no questions asked.

Read along to get some guidelines on how to wear your LBD.

 Just a few notes on finding and working on your very own 

Little Black Dress...

 BACK IN BLACK

* Choose the best material you can find (not all are created equal)

 and nothing too tight or too shiny.

* Consider you LBD a blank canvass instead of a fallback.

It demands to be ACCESSORIZED and adorned

* To avoid being accused of playing it safe, make sure you 

have a dash of daring (a dangerous stilleto, bold jewelry, etc), 

and make sure it shows off you best assets.

* Remember, the reason the simple garment is so 

enduring is because it understands the essence of style: to step back

 and let the woman shine. So SHINE!

* It is said that you need only one,

 but a minimum of two is a better guideline.

* Make sure you can dance in it.
