Little Black Dress

So, while I was on my dinner break for work (I was working from 12 to 8, I decide to got window shopping. While doing so, I run across this adorable little black dress that would look great on me. That got me thinking: how do I shop for my little black dresses?

As I looked back, I realized I had a system. And it actually kind of worked. So here goes:

(Optional)Step 1: Pre-shopping
If I'm looking for a dress for a certain occasion, I do my pre-shopping routine. First, I get a budget. How much do I wanna spend? Then I think of color and cut. Because a little black dress doesn't always have to be "little" or "black". To me, the term "little black dress" describes a dress that looks absolutely gorgeous on you and makes you feel beautiful and confident.

Step 2: Scope the Stores
I always look to see whose having a sale and if they have anything worth looking at. This might shave a little off the money for the dress that you can use on a cute pair of shoes or accessories. When you find the stores with sales, find hose dresses that you absolutely LOVE. Make note and maybe try them on.

Step 3: Second Opinions
Take a buddy. I always ask a friend (Or even Bear) along to see how they think I look in the dress. After all, I want people to like what I'm wearing. But if you feel great in the dress, but your buddies are if-y on it, go with your instinct. Sometimes, you know your body better than them.

Step 4: Buy!
If you love it, and just can't wait to have it, buy it! If it is on sale, chances are that it won't be there for long.

There. That's my method to finding the perfect little black dress. I didn't realize I had this method till I thought back on it while I was doing Scope the Stores today during lunch. And I did find a dress I really want to buy and wear when I go see Bear on Memorial Day weekend.
