purpose & description
I struck gold once again when I found this black strapless dress by Vena Cava on sale a few weeks ago- (up until that point I spent about 10 minutes each and every day staring at images of it and lusting for it!). I'm trying to think outside the fahsion box, so I'd love to hear your suggesting as to what I should wear this with. The dress is really beautiful so I don't wanna overpower it with accessories, but I also don't want it to look like your average LBD. What do you guys think??
comments & advice
whatcha think? respeck & thoughtful advice please

I agree that some brightly colored shoes would do just the trick. maaayyybe some great dangly earrings OR some fab bracelets. If you're cold, a boyfriend sweater could be fun.

the problem with this dress is that it IS just an average LBD... you could spice it up with some good accessories, but it's very plain, if a little boring

It's true about the hair. You could do nude heels, no jewelery, and maybe even fresh flowers in your hair.

wear bright bright opaque tights in yellow or aqua and ankle booties to give it edge.

Ohh, love the hair idea. This is the kind of dress that would look great with an updo. With a glimmer of dangling earrings, it will highlight your neck -- very sexy!

How abaout a nice long formal wrap, draped across the front of your chest/neck, with the ends hanging down your back?

i'd say stick with simple metallic accessories, and i love What2Wear's idea about doing something great with your hair!

Definetly play up your hair in this dress. Everyone will say, wear a bright colored shoe and/or clutch, but hair is an often under-emphasized accessory. For some inspiration on your tresses, check out eonline.com fashion photos from award shows for ideas!
