The Autumn Winter 2006 catwalks from Paris to Milan to London black rules! On its own, paired with jewel tones or neutrals, black is the background on which many outfits are built. Not surprising though as black is visually slimming.
Black is by far the safest color you could wear for any occasion. A black dress is about the most versatile piece of clothing you own. It goes with anything and in many ways, an LBD is like a blank canvas. It can look subtle, paired with a neutral jacket, or ultra-glamorous on its own with chunky earrings, a bag, shoes and a belt studded with jewel toned rhinestones.
Throw on a gauzy shawl for an ethereal look. Wear it with pearls for a ladylike look. That little black dress is like a chameleon. It switches from day to night, from demure, to sexy with a switch of accessories.
Wear it to the office with a gray jacket and pumps and stud earrings. At the end of the day, take off the jacket, switch to chandelier earrings and stillettos, touch up your makeup for the Christmas party at night, or a dinner date.
When it comes to the party season, that little black dress can give you a different look for every party you attend. Change your hairstyle with each combination and wear your makeup differently each time for a completely different look.
Here are some ideas.
Wear your black dress with a gold chain belt and an armful of gold bangles and gold hoop earrings. Finish off with black or gold kitten heels. Wear the dress with a jewel toned short jacket and opaque stockings and high heel shoes. Wear your dress with sandals and chandelier earrings and a belt studded with jewel colored gemstones. Wear the little black dress with a strand of pearls. Drape a lace white shawl over your shoulders and wear stiletto heels. Wear the dress on its own with boots and leather bracelets and piercings. Wear the dress with shoulder length earrings and put your hair up in a chignon. Wear the highest heeled sandals you can find. Wear the black dress with ribbons around your waist and a stunning necklace with matching earrings and ballet pumps.

Maxi Sun Dresses – Are You Petite? Here’s How to Wear Your Maxi Sun Dress!
February 25th, 2010
Maxi sun dresses are set to be all the rage this summer… but can they really suit a petite body shape?
You’ll be glad to hear the answer is yes!
Some body shapes may need some accessories to balance out the style but with the right tips you can be wearing your maxi sun dress rather than it wearing you!
If you are ‘heightly’ challenged you could end up sweeping the streets with your dress. The best thing to do is either get your dress taken up or buy a pair of heels/wedges to give you the added height you need so as not to compete with the road sweeper…
…the good thing is if you are strapped for cash the shoes don’t have to be expensive or nice for that matter because they will be cleverly concealed by your dress!
Another tip is to keep your dress fitted up top. If the design you like doesn’t have the fitted look, don’t fret. Maxi Sun dresses look cute worn with a waistcoat which gives you the fitted style without having to alter the dress or find another one.
Another important tip if you’re petite is to opt for styles that aren’t to floaty and voluminous. Sticking to more sleek straight cut styles will keep in proportion with your petite frame and stop you looking wider than you are.
Maxi sun dresses are one of those styles that you can’t help but notice…just make sure it’s for all the right reasons! It’s a fun flirty way to enjoy the sunshine in style!
