OK...I know this is where I am supposed to talk about the 'LBD,' right? Well, I happen to live in a cold climate, and find that the LBD ('little back dress' to the uninitiated) can be hard when the temps drop below freezing. I, for one, am all about tailored black slacks, perfect party shoes, and fun tops (OK, perfect party shoes sometimes have to be replaced by bulky boots - but only while in transport-to-the-event mode). I figure this way...if I have multiple events to attend, I can just have one or two go-to black slacks hanging in my closet and a variety of tops. I tend toward tunic tops and jacket type models. I think I look stylish, and I'm not feeling the need to purchase multiple LBDs -- typically more expensive than jewel-toned and sparkly tops (think beautiful evening sweaters, too). I also find that I can mix them up, even year-to-year, and I'm not having that dreaded "have I worn this in front of this group of people before?" question popping into my head.
If the LBD is your thing -- I urge you to find one that fits perfectly and that makes you feel like a million bucks. Though I did just read an article that red dresses tend to make you more "attractive" to members of the opposite sex -- so much more attractive that male dates may actually feel inclined to spend more money on you. So if more attention (and more generosity) is what you're after -- changing from LBD to LRD may be your best bet. Decisions, decisions...
