Longer the Dress, Higher the Heel

I love the bold pattern on this Eva Franco dress. Longer dresses tend not to work well on my short frame -- I'm barely 5'4", though everyone always thinks I'm taller because I live in heels -- so pairing it with a really high heel works to elongate the leg. You want to look slim, not stacked.

This dress represents another steal from MyHabit.com, an Amazon site. Originally $395, it was recently marked down to just $40.

With a black and white dress, it's fun to play up your accessories and an easy way to add color. In addition to these red heels, I used my royal blue Kate Spade New York purse (not pictured). It was a little risky, but I loved the effect.
