• a medium to portray the woman you are
This woman was in the Bordeaux airport, mid-afternoon, at arrivals last fall. Excuse the quality of the photo but I was trying to be discrete! I don't know who she was or who she was waiting for but the person landing in Bordeaux should have been impressed with this reception.
Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.

Another great post. Much like how women like the look of a man in a suit. Men love the look of a women in the Little Black Dress. It a women's wardrobe staple for looking attractive, feeling comfortable and drawing positive attention to themselves.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brian. Funny how that which looks best is easiest. Suits are easy and so is the little black dress. Yet it seems, every time I have to go out, I try on several things, am usually not happy and then end up putting on the LBD and feeling good.
