This is a cute and simple black dress.  It’s supposed to be a summer dress, but with this odd weather, I think fashion wise we’ve needed to make exceptions so we don’t sweat while walking to work from the parking lot.  You can dress it down and wear flats and a cardigan, or shnaz it up with some pumps (or even boots) and bold earrings for a night on the town.

I found this black dress last night and was excited about the price (under $100).  It looks like starting today it’s been reduced another 18 bucks!  You know what 18 bucks can buy you these days?  A lot, actually.  If  you have an economical car, It can buy you about a half a tank of gas so you can actually go somewhere to sport your new dress.

Make sure you don’t have any tan lines when you show up to a party in this strapless party dress.  The neckline drops just a smidge in the front & I love the ruffled bodice.  It’s also an appropriate length for those spring/summer weddings.
