Not all of us have the capacity to go to a real good store and pick out an off the hook designer little black dress that we dream of.  Yet it is a must have in our puny closets.

So, we opt to go downtown and get something we can afford; not a real thing but something just as close. So how do we turn that rather plain dress into something as just as dazzling as the original? Here are a few pointers:Stockings: seeing as these little black dresses are, in most cases, short stockings come in handy to create a uniform complexion of your legs Shoes: ordinarily, a good pair of high-quality heels is acceptable for the little black dress especially for evening occasions; the colour should be one that is really going to stand out. Jewelry: Pearls, diamonds, platinum and colourful African jewelry are accepted adornment to accessorize the dress.Belts: adding a belt to your dress can accentuate your figure. Just like the shoes, the belt too has to be a bit glitzyHandbags: Bags are mandatory and should be chosen in accordance to the particular occasion. A well-placed hat is acceptable for some acutely formal functions.Makeup: You accomplish your sophisticated look by applying the appropriate eye shadow, lipstick, and blusher that highlight and add glamour to your accomplished look.
