Classic Black Dress

Every girl who has any semblance of style knows that a black dress is a staple in a girl’s wardrobe. However, up until this past weekend, I actually did not own any black dresses. I owned dresses in mint green, lemon yellow, white, blue and even black-and-white, but no black. However, thanks to a highly successful (albeit incredibly long) shopping trip with my friend, I came home with the perfect addition to my wardrobe.

It has a U-scoop neck with slight tucks and pleats along the bodice. Additionally, there’s a small tulle underskirt which helps the bottom of the dress “poof” out slightly, which I love. (My prom dress has a white tulle underskirt that peeped out just beneath the hemline of the dress.) There’s also a sash-type thing on both sides of the dress that ties into a bow at the back.

Combined with these heels and a black clutch, both of which I currently own, I am all set for a formal event requiring black-tie attire. Or, you know, a killer night on the town. Whichever comes first.
