Disguise "That Old Thing" - Ahh

As boring as it sounds, I must admit, I did the all black thing last New Year's Eve. I stick to the illusion that I was uninspired by the lack of options in my surrounding areas (cough cough, Portland, Oregon, cough cough), but nevertheless, there is no excuse to the case of the "same-sies."

However, I, like most I assume, don't want to drop an entire paycheck on an outfit for one evening (especially those extra special jobless individuals... Bombshell's have budgets too). Not to mention, that there is a high probability of accidental Grey Goose splatters ending up on the bosom of my too-expensive-for-one-damn-night silk smock.

So to get to the purpose of this post (don't act like you're not annoyed by my run-on rants, I annoy myself quite often)... you know that one simple but spectacular dress you have in the back of the closet that you can't bear to get rid of? Every chick has one; it's the dress that makes you feel like your head was plastered on Marilyn Monroe's body, so naturally, the jaws of life couldn't force you to part from it. But the poor thing has been sitting in the dredges of your closet with no special occasion in sight to re-wear it to. Let's be honest, in the era of social networking, if you post a picture on Facebook wearing a smashing hot dress, it undoubtedly becomes difficult to wear it again because it is "that one dress, that you wore to that one party, that that one person tagged you in the pictures of?" Don't even try to act like you don't know what I'm talking about, it's inevitable, Facebook has turned women into even more prodigious diva's than ever before (in my case, prodigious-bombshell).

So why not keep your wallet from wheezing, dry clean that sizzling dress, and disguise it with these uber-cool body jewelry pieces. All four pictured are $30 or less, and have to ability to add a new exiting element to "that one dress". So instead of your clothing being recognized as the dreaded "Facebook dress," people will see Monroe, and that bad ass body jewelry.

This would be perfect for a strapless, well structured dress. ASOS.com, $19.

Add this to the shoulder of that basic one-shoulder dress (that everyone bought last year), for some new pizazz. Asos.com, $25

 

This is by far my favorite, how hot would this be over a curve-hugging, long sleeved turtleneck dress? Hair pulled back, chunky bangles, fire! Asos.com, $24

  

Use that same one shoulder dress, as mentioned above, and place this on the shoulder that is not covered, Rihanna who? Urbanoutfitters.com, $15
