LBD plus...

The bohemian look provides an endless amount of inspiration. Here's a perfect choice to start off quietely in this direction. Black dress from Alex Gore. Long sleeves with wide neckline, high at the front and drapes into a cowl at the back. The slashed shawl-style sleeves, tie waist and asymmetrical hemline make it so much more than just an LBD. The small bracelet bag is from Chloe, deep red leather, embroidered with gold hardware, chunky mirrored beads and multi-colored ethnic style embroidery on the front. The Chloé Bracelet Style Handle bag can also be used with a single leather shoulder strap. Subtle but very stong!

A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well
as the letter from Amex afterwards. - coolchiq
