This trumpet style skirt would also look great on you to elongate those legs of yours, Lise.

Oh thanks, Mr. purelife!! Love those ideas.

  Any ideas on a simple black dress?

  Does this make one's shoulder's look wide?

I LOVE wearing black dresses and dresses in general.  V-neck dresses and shirts are my fav.  It makes your face look leaner (for me).

  I also have a dress quite similiar to this one but without the long sleeves.

  I think all of thse dresses would look great and CUTE on you Lise.  The last pic I posted with the black strip on the middle and the bottom is so totally pretty and IN.  It really makes you look leaner and taller.

  I don't like the strapless one so much because it doesn't look good on me when I have broader shoulders.

  Oh, this is really pretty, purelife. I like this. Not too crazy about the patterns but I'm sure I can find something in solid black that has a ribbon around the middle.

  Is there a store that you shop for little black dresses? I'm not too fond of the Bay or Sears when it comes for dresses but they do have good selection on bras.

My friend wasn't too crazy about patterns but one day, when we were at Zara, I pointed out this beautiful dress that had a splash of beautiful summer colors and a nice pattern.  She was hesitant but it looked great on her and she thanked me later because she received a TON of compliments.

  I used to never wear clothes that had a remote pattern or design.  I preferred bold colors/shades, mainly black.  But, ever since I tried on clothes that had some nice patterns and designs, I love em, especially dresses.

  I haven't checked out this year's selection of dresses yet, Lise, but my normal stores are:

Zara, Reitmans, Smart Set, RW & Co., Dynamite..

Last year, I purchased two beautiful cute black dresses from Reitmans.

  Good luck.
