All the Fabulous Things You Can do with a Simple Black Dress

I am not into many colors when it comes to clothing. Not really sure why. I simply stick to the basics of black with some variation in between. In my closet I have three plain black dresses that I may have worn to a dozen or so functions but yet no one would be the wiser because of how I tend to accessorize it. At least I don't think anyone would know.

My first black dress which I have had for maybe five years has a low cut neck line otherwise it is very simple. I use my shoes and matching jewelry to spice this dress up. I then use a hairpiece of the same color. If it is an evening event I wear silver or gold shoes and dramatic earrings of a matching color, this makes the look very striking, then to tone it down a little I use a simple necklace of the same color which will go well since the dress is just simply black. I continue to accessorize it with a form of glittery make up either in the eye shadow or lipstick not both.

With this same dress I am able to attend day functions as well. All I do different is use white patent leather shoes preferably a slip on in the summer months. I then incorporate a white patent leather belt or a simple white sash around the waist. I continue to decorate the outfit with matching white hoop earrings and a white necklace. I use a clutch handbag either in white or black. I tend not to walk around much with a bag I only use it to put my essentials in it.

My second simple plain black dress has ruffles all the way down to about knee length and it is high by the neckline and low cut on the back. I keep this one simpler since the dress itself does wonders so I really do not have to add more other than change a particular hair clip. I like to wear black patent leather shoes with this and avoid too much jewelry. I will usually clip my hair up and add simple gold or diamond stud earrings. And that is all that I need to keep an elegant look going.
