I can't believe this week is getting away from me! I hosted an ornament exchange for the ladies yesterday...which was a lot of fun...then today is my Christmas Party for work, tomorrow is a community coat and tie event and Sunday is our battalion party, Sunday with Santa! I don't think I ever had the beginning of December so jam-packed! And I am just now thinking of what in the world am I going to wear tomorrow? Coat and tie means I have to wear a halfway decent dress! Argghhhh! I haven't even gone shopping...and won't have time either....I have another baby to visit, at a hospital on the other side of town...and a dental appointment today...not to mention when are we going to go get a tree??!!! And what about the centerpiece of I have to somehow come up with between now and the time of our party on Sunday? Why am I doing this to myself?
Well, there is at least one thing I can control and cross off my list right now...what I am going to wear. Thank God for the little black dress. I actually have two of them. One is a very basic A-line dress that I can wear at a funeral or dress up with a necklace or fancy scarf and wear it in the evening. The other is a little more lowcut and out of some kind of silky material...but if I wear that...I'd better wear some extra support hose to "hold it all in". So, in the next hour, I will pick one of those, pick a necklace and earrings and some basic black pumps...and be done with it. Don't you love little black dresses? Which one is your favorite?

I would love to have that dress in the picture. Do you know where it is from?
I recently bought a slinky black top and black/ivory lace skirt to wear for our holiday festivities... Chris' work party (business attire) and our night at the symphony! But that picture would be a much better fit! :-)
Tava,
I LOVE that dress too! All I can think of is to follow the Flickr link and try to ask the person who posted this pic on Flickr...I was thinking the same thing...
I've been on a search for the perfect little black dress for years--usually they're all either too short or too skanky BUT I finally found one I loved at a dept. store that's pretty conservative...dressy but not overdoing it.
Also...for anyone who, like me, is reading all the old posts b/c they just found this awesome blog :), Banana Republic has some great dresses on sale for under $100 and there are a couple of really classy black ones that I'm deciding between.
