The black dress is a wardrobe staple. Every woman should have at least two black dresses in her closets at all times. A spring/summer black dress and a fall/winter black dress, will keep you in style year round.
When choosing a dress, you want it to be as versatile as possible. Choose a style that is simple, basic and plain, yet flattering to your body type. [1]Pick fabrics that are seasonal and comfortable, and will accentuate your figure.
The key to the black dress is accessorizing. With the right shoes, hosiery, handbag, jewelry and wrap you can take a black dress from the office to an after five event in minutes!
For example, the knee length short sleeved, black dress
shown here can be "party ready” by adding a few accessories.
· Jeweled collar necklace.
· T-strap sandals with rhinestone details
· Silver or black mini evening bag with small jeweled accents.
· A faux fur wrap, choose a bright color to add a little flair!
Think of the black dress as a canvas and you’re the artist. Design it as you wish and party in style!
