Instead of Reaching for the Same Old LBD, Stand out in at Parties & Fetes in a Festive White Frock with Black Accents. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

Elie_saab_party_dress  (Elie Saab - Fall 2006)

Your typical cocktail gathering or holiday party is awash in black-black-black, enough so that an alien visitor could easily mistake the entire season for one big gathering of mourners. Lighten up in a frothy white frock a la Elie Saab with chic but practical opaque tights for keeping gams toasty, a roomy black patent bag which is also perfect for day time endeavors, and a 50s chic Jackie O velvet bolero.  You may give up head-to-toe black for good...maybe.

An Elie Saab inspired party look for pennies on the dollar:
