Dress Code: XOXO Black Off the Shoulder Shift Dress $35.40 (Re-Post)

When it comes to fashion there are some things that should be automatic. If you're a girl over 21 you need more than courage and an ID card before you can call yourself a woman. To be a real fashion forward woman you need a few basics. One of the important basic must haves for women is the classic Little Black Dress. I often tell people that venerable feminine traits, such as: thriftiness, eye for detail, multi tasking, forward thinking and even superior intellect are worthless if they can't be harnessed and displayed in a Classic Black Dress. Nothing says class and power like a well rounded woman with a keen sense for knowing how to pull it all off in a black dress. Yet and still I still meet otherwise fierce women that embarrass themselves by wearing a business suit or worst yet, a cheap church dress to an evening out or an important event. Remember ladies different dresses for different occasions. For a refined look enter the XOXO Black Off the Shoulder Shift Dress. It's classic and perfect for that vaunted, Audrey Heburn-esque look. The dress comes with a high-waist belt and left shoulder pin to finish the look. This dress is certainly regal, yet attainable. XOXO.com has it marked down all the way to $35.40. Sizes vary, but since the sale began I've noticed that this dress has sold out twice, so you'll have to grab one quickly or you may miss out on your size. If it sells out Click Here to keep checking periodically. XOXO does have other similar dresses so you might opt for something else if you can't get this one. Which ever dress you get remember that every girl audacious enough to call her self a woman isn't really one yet until she masters the Little Black Dress.

Dress Code: Wine Ruched Cocktail Dresses by Xscape

A few days ago my lovely colleague, Celeste reminded all of you ladies that the most basic right of passage for a fashion forward modern woman is pulling off the venerable Little Black Dress. Speaking from a Male's perspective I'll tell you that in my opinion there's nothing sexier or powerful than a confident woman in a perfectly fitting Black cocktail dress. But being that "Fashion Is Foremost Inspiration" I'll beg the question: "Does the Classic Little Black Dress have to always be Black?" The simple answer is NO! Although tradition dictates that black is always appropriate, go bold and think red. Behold the intoxicating, Wine Ruched Cocktail Dresses by Xscape. This short sexy cocktail dress by Xscape has an amazing fit. It flatters most figures and will surely turn heads at any special occasion or holiday event this season.
