It's getting close to the New Year and I can't wait to bring in 2011. I started searching for the perfect fit to kick-off the New Year but then I realized...um...you don't have any money to spend on a dress you will only rock one time. So I decided to look for a basic black dress that I could dress up, down, backwards and forwards. Let's face it...in this economy you have to be smart with your TallSWAG purchases.

I found the perfect dress and paired it with some bling that I already had in my collection. I will be rockin that dress many different ways in THE 11:)
