So, I bought these black and white Oxford-esque heels and I have a semi-formal dance coming up on Saturday. I need a dress. What color dress? Strapless? Help! Are tights appropriate? Any help is appreciated!!
Ren's right, you could go colour, but I'd tend to think that sticking to black and white for the outfit would be a really cool effect with those shoes. One idea might be to do something with a bit of a tuxedo feel; like a white ruffle-front dress or something with a collar, give it that sexed-up menswear feel.
If you want to stick to more evening-ish maybe try working in some element of the sheer trend like a black dress with sheer overlay, or black lace.
