NUDE....The New Black!

This just in...'nude is the new black'! From creamy khaki to barely there beige, it's just as simply chic as it's counterpart the LBD.

  
It's a given that the 'little black dress' is a must have for any wardrobe conscious fashionista, but the neutral skin tone nude hue is all the rage at this very moment! A lot of women stick to the LBD for the simple fact that it's a forgiving color and has an extremely slimming effect but regardless, the LND cut in a pattern appropriate for your figure and paired with the right accessories can be just as flattering...

The paleness of the LND goes fab with a splash of color but avoid accessorizing it with black as that will look way too harsh.

Black shoes are also a fashion faux pas as beige on beige has a leg lengthening appeal.

The number one thing to consider when searching for the perfect 'little nude dress' is your personal skin tone.  If you are pale, a darker shade of nude would not be the right fit for you and visa versa...if you're dark, a paler shade nude wouldn't be the right fit for you...  It's all about finding the right hue to compliment you!

The Lure of The Little Black Dress

For decades, women everywhere have been in pursuit of the perfect 'little black dress'.  Why you ask? ... Because the 'right' LBD has the ability to create a slimming illusion on the most curviest of frames, so make no mistake...the color black is a girl's best friend!

Prior to the 1920's the color black was reserved for periods of mourning and considered appalling to be worn for anything but however, in 1926, 'Coco' Chanel published a photo of a short, simple black dress in 'Vogue' and the concept took off and became a fashion staple for women of taste.  The LBD has evolved since the beginning of its vintage roots in regards to cuts and fabrics but remains as popular as it ever was.


In 1961, the now vintage fashion icon & once Hollywood starlet Audrey Hepburn wore a little black dress by designer Hubert de' Givenchy in the cult classic 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' and this gave rise to this simple, yet absolutely glamorous look.

I have recently done some research on how to acquire a unique yet affordable 'LBD' and here's what I found...  You can get your own 'little black dress' for under $100.00 at Forever 21, Victoria's Secret, Express and Charlotte Russe.
