My Picks: Elegant Little Black Dresses

Posted in Women's Apparel | 1 comment

Holidays… and the party season is here again. There something really frenzied in the air when November is about to end and December is fast approaching. A lot is on my mind. My Christmas gift shopping, decorating the house, our Christmas dinner menu, schedules- I mean party schedules.

And that doesn’t end there. One has to think about what to wear on numerous parties you have to attend. And a girl has to prep for that, right? For others, tanning lotions are not enough but a visit to a tanning salon is a must, a body scrub, waxing etc,etc. Sigh! I’m beginning to wonder if hubby is right, being a woman is indeed complicated. Lol!

I’m pretty sure one of the things ladies out there are getting frantic about is what to wear for parties. Well, I put together some of the latest little black dresses you might wanna grab. I love little black dresses, they are easy to accessorize and you can change the total look just as easily.

I love belts! They add a lot of pizzaz and drama to any outfit! I’ve been browsing around for some funky and stylish belts and since I’m on the ‘save-more-look-for-something-cheap-but nice’ mood, I hopped from one site to another looking for pretty belts that would not burn a hole in my wallet.

Belts are a fashion must-have if you ask me. You can buy a nice little black dress and you can easily change how this dress looks by changing accessories and the first to come to mind are belts! belts comes in different sizes, colors, styles.. It also works to accentuate your figure.

If you have an ultra curvy figure, then wide belts accentuate your waist and draws people’s attention to that winning feature. On the other hand, smaller figured women looks well with thin/small belts.

Here are some of my picks – all below $50..
