Black Outfit and Red Bottoms

I just came across these pictures from my New York trip and realized that I never posted them! I shot them with my photographer friend, Mark Wiggin some months ago. We bounced around the city taking pictures all over and this set was particularity fun because of the ever changing lights from oncoming traffic. Don't worry, we were cautious and rather protected even though it doesn't appear so. 

I love all black outfits because black is the number one color that never goes out of style or season. I don't wear all black too often because I'm a bit of a color junkie but I when I do I usually feel classic and sleek. To emphasize the gold studs on my vegan leather skater skirt I wore a few dainty gold bangles and a gold YSL chain necklace. Let's be honest though, my spiked out red bottoms stole the show. Who needs a ton of accessories when you have a super haute pair of heels?!

Fashionably Late: Sexy Black Maxi Dress

I love getting all dolled up to go somewhere but I sometimes hate how long it takes me to get ready. It seems like there are days when I can pull myself together effortlessly and then there are days when I practically need an army to get me out of the house in time. Let's not even get on the topic of what my room looks like after all this madness! 

If I have time I like to choose my outfit the night before an event and leave it layed out. This takes so much stress out of the getting ready process the day of. If I haven't had time to pre-select an outfit I will spend my time in the shower thinking of all my options and will most times have it narrowed down to two good candidates by the time I get out. When all this fails I stick with the basics. A little black dress really is a woman's best friend and works well for so many occasions. This sexy black maxi dress is my latest obsession in the little black dress department.

The back of this sexy black maxi dress is my favorite. It features a deep open back cut-out, sexy criss-cross straps and a flirty chiffon bow that drapes beautifully. From the front, this black maxi dress is classic and simplistic but then you turn around and notice all the eyes in the room on you. I've always loved backless styles and now I feel comfortable wearing them after finding the holy grail of completely strapless bras. Target sells a "sticky bra" that literally just sticks in place, offering smooth coverage and moderate lift and support without any pesky straps. This awesome bra will set you back about twenty-five dollars but you can re-use it several times and even hand wash it. You can find this bra and purchase here.
