The Necessities: CWD

As I stated before, I believe that the primary dress a Diva should own is the little black dress (lbd), but it's not the only dress a sophisticated, grown, & sexy woman should own. Coming in right behind the LBD, is what I call the CWD aka The Classic White Dress. I know that you may be thinking, "WHAT, A white dress?" Yes, but not just any old white dress would suffice, it has to be a classic dress. A dress that you can wear for years to come. The primary weakness of a white dress besides keeping it clean, is that depending on what fabric it is made from or the quality of the details, it can often look very cheap.

But, if you invest in a white dress that is constructed very well and streamlined, it can make you appear very fresh, sophisticated, and elegant. Everyone knows that white is not the easiest color to wear because it shows every mark and/or stain, but to the ladies that can wear it without too much fuss, they always look very well put together.

One CWD, that I fell in love with is this one from French Connection United Kingdom

The Sasha Stretch Dress ($198) 

The Sasha Dress is a fully lined knee length shift dress with shoulder pads and a crew neckline.

It is classic elegance. It's beauty is in it's simplicity and construction. You can play up this dress with bold or simple accessories. When worn, this dress conforms to the body and gives the illusion of a smaller waist because of its construction.  I love that this dress is modest in the fact that it shows no cleavage and reaches the knee, but it exudes sex appeal in the way that it outlines a woman's femininity. It is not made to be a 'tight' dress, but it fits very well to a woman's form.

From the board room, to museum openings, to Sunday brunch, this dress will definitely help you appear very elegant and polished. 

Pair with a bold and colorful pair of shoes and chunky jewelry to make a statement, or pair with stud earrings and peep-toe shoes to keep it strictly business. With this dress, the styling option are limitless.
