This Witchy Woman Wears Black: The LBD

(Via Hayden Williams)

I have Halloween on the top of my mind, and that brings visions of witches wearing black. No matter what haute hue the good folks at Pantone decide is the color of the year, my favorite is always black. It is the one color that, without fail, looks good and also makes me feel good!  A little black dress (aka LBD) is an essential part of any woman's wardrobe. .When in doubt, wear it. It is almost always appropriate. I can use a new one. How about you?
