I've been getting a couple lot of facebook personal messages (PM's) lately. Mostly inquiries for the dresses i sell, others for my longchamp bags, others from friends who just want to catch up... and a couple lot from friends/buyers alike asking me what beauty products i use for my face or what brand of shoes i'm wearing. So here you have it ladies... my top ten musthaves, starting with musthave number one.
I never was the super high maintenance type of girl. But i also make sure i'm no plain jane. There are things every girl should have, things she truly needs. Of course, one woman's "musthave list" may differ from that of others. It's a case-to-case basis.So you may add more to your list if you wish. In the meantime, here's mine.
1. First and foremost on my list IS and will ALWAYS be the LITTLE BLACK DRESS.
Gorgeous, isn't she? Audrey Hepburn's character in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Holly Golightly, is my all time favorite epitome of class and elegance. No wonder i'm a sucker for LBD's. hehe Seriously, i strongly believe every girl should have a little black dress in her closet. It's the most versatile piece of clothing i can think of. Dress it up with sky high stilettos or keep it simple with classy pearl earrings. No matter what the occasion, you can never go wrong with an LBD.
I'm pretty sure most of you have gone through those "unplanned" dinners where you suddenly get a call and what seemed like one peaceful day turned out to be a mind boggling one after all... what with all the endless hours of scanning your closet for the perfect dress to go with those heels you've had in mind or vice versa. And just when you've finally decided what to wear, you're left with only 10 minutes to shower, dry your hair, change into your outfit and do your make up! I plead guilty for this ladies. teehee I'd be lying if i said i've never gone through such an ordeal.
But you know how they say, with age comes wisdom. And indeed i've truly learned my lesson. Now i always make sure my closet's armed with an LBD or two. No time? No sweat. You can be sure of that.
And yes, it will always be a basic. You'll be surprised with the many different looks you can come up with. Play with your imagination ladies. Pair this musthave with a sequined bolero, an animal print scarf, a skinny belt or a classy shrug... the possibilities are endless. Soon you will realize you're left with so many looks to "wear" and so little parties/cocktails to attend.
My favorite shops to snag the perfect little black dress? There's forever21, plains&prints, mango, promod, topshop, tyler, jessica.... the list goes on and on ladies. But do remember this, it doesn't matter what brand you're wearing, as long as it fits you well and you feel like a million bucks in it, it's the perfect one. Looking good in a dress never was about the price tag nor the designer. It all comes down to the wearer- how she carries herself in the dress and how confident she feels wearing the dress. Everything else will follow.
So the next time you think you have "nothing" to wear, think again. There just might be one tiny piece hanging at the back of your closet with "let's paint the town red" written all over it.
love and light,
