little black dress

I am a jean a sweater kind of gal. Can't remember the last dress I wore. Usually wear flip flops so no need to own those prefect high heel shoes. But Ben is a business man. He needs to be involved in the community and that leads to parties and mingling. On Feb 4 I get to go to a Habitat For Humanity Fundraiser Auction. I love auctions but this is also a cocktail dress auction. So I bought a little black dress. Well, honestly I ordered 3 online and they came today. I figured there is a lot more selection online and I can take what I don't wear back. Thankfully ordering a dress online is not like ordering pants. I know my dress size. And thankfully I think at least one of the dresses will work. Alicia likes 2 of them, Ethan doesn't really care and Ben hasn't seen them yet. Alicia wishes I could return black for a red dress. But it's much harder to find a red dress in my style then a black one. Now I am starting to freak out about what shoes to wear, what jewelery, do I wear stockings or go bare legged. I think I need help. Any of you have the perfect heels I should get for this black dress? Know what kind of jewelery I should wear? This is most likely the dress I will choose. It at least gives me the feel of sleeves to hide behind. It won't be the fanciest dress there but it is one of the more fancier dresses I have ever worn.

CUTE dress! I like how the model wears it with strappy heals that aren't TOO fancy. You could do a variety of things with jewelry since the dress is black. Go for a pop of color maybe!

I love that dress! I agree with adding some color to pop. Maybe red heels for Alicia! :)

k so if you do colorful shoes then you should have your necklace reflex that playfulness. like chunky red beads to go with red heels. i am sure you will find something. but you will have to do it in store store s you are out of online time.. i dont like strappy heels either. i like cute vintage looking heels i bought a pair that i love but they are a bit tall.. go find a pair and wear em around the house for a few hours..

Cute dress. Shoes should be cute but comfortable. If your feet hurt then you won't be any fun to be around and you won't have any fun at the auction. You don't have to do high, high heels. Kitten heels would work or some dressy flats.
