Top 10 Wardrobe Essentials - Essential #4

My #4 wardrobe essential is, non other than, the LBD.

By the picture above you've probably come to realize LBD stands for "Little Black Dress". This is an essential for many reasons. That HOT date you've been waiting for, a formal event, a nice dinner party... even hitting the club.

This is every sexy girls go-to-item because it is a great way to show off any figure.

Ways to wear the LBD:

The first look is for work. A sexy black dress is just as good as a power suit for a woman. Notice it is paired with a white blazer, this tones down the sexiness and allows you to look polished instead of skanky.
Look 2 is the sex kitten look, don't cover up too much, this dress was made to kill. Show off everything you have to offer with this stunning look.
Look 3 is made for the club, add a little bling and a funky shoe and you've set the mood just right to party all night!

For the skinny girl - Look for form fitting dresses that hug what curves you do have. Stay away from the draping fabrics and even find a dress with some peek-a-boo cut outs.

For the thick girl- SHAPEWEAR, SHAPEWEAR, SHAPEWEAR! I cannot stress this enough. The LBD is a sexy, slimming look but you have to realize where your flaws lie and work with them instead of fighting them. Look for empire waisted dresses, a-line skirts, and wrap-dresses. These are the most flattering cuts for your body type.

For the in-betweens - Again I say SHAPEWEAR! If you wear a fitted dress and you have a belly bulge... it will only be exaggerated. Know where your problem areas lie and work with them instead of fighting them. If you have big hips do not be afraid of the pencil skirt. The last two dresses in the first picture would look great if you had an hourglass or even bottom heavy figure. Top heavy? Go for the two above them.

The secret to ANY LBD is confidence. So if you try on a fabulous dress and you love it but are nervous about wearing it in front of anyone DON'T BUY IT! You can't be sexy and confident while tugging on your dress all night. You can't be sexy and confident if you are too worried about boob slippage. You also can't be sexy and confident if you are too covered. It's called a LITTLE black dress for a reason :)

Happy Shopping!
