So it's "Thirsty Thursday" and time to spice up your little black dress!

“Beep, beep, beep,” it is 6:45am, Thursday, and your alarm is blaring in your ear. You roll out of bed and stumble to the shower. Then you realize you have nothing to eat for lunch.... you think, “Time to raid your secret stash of change!” As you are counting pennies it hits you! Tonight is your boss’s engagement party! CRAP! A.) You have nothing to wear. B.) You’re broke! You run to the closet. There it is staring at you... the same BLACK BORING DRESS you wore to the Xmas party, your godchild’s christening, and your last interview. You are in a pickle and panicking! OH NO!!! Ladies, we all know what it is like to have a Thursday morning ruined because you realize you have an unexpected festivity that weekend. Whether it be a baptism, a birthday, or a ball, I promise you can survive even the most dismal of Thursday’s and still be Fabulous Under $50.00.
Back to Basics.... Since Coco Chanel, owning the “little black dress” has been a fashion rule. It should be simple and versatile and even though you may be bored with it, there is always a way to dress it up or down. Now if you don’t own a black dress you’re comfortable in, fear not. Mossimo at Target has made buying a little black dress very affordable. For under $30 after taxes, you can pick up a comfortable cute black dress that will easily be transformed into an exciting ensemble.
If you already own your basic black dress here is how you are going to make it Fab under $50. LAYERS! LAYERS! AND MORE LAYERS! Raid your jewelry box and start combining necklaces that you never thought of layering before. Layering can be an elegant way to dress any outfit. Every woman should own one long strand necklace. Why? They are easy to mix and match. Turn your neckline into a work of art so no one is paying attention to that dress you already wore 10x’s this season.
This long stranded black necklace at Target is only $14.99 and can be used as a foundation for layering.
So now that all the attention is on your neckline, it is time to captivate people with a little drama on your eyes! I am a huge fan of fake eye lashes. What I have learned through my years of trying out every lash in the book is that the best kind... are the cheapest kind! MODLASH IS ONLY $4.99 and can be found at any drug store!
And once you get the hang of it, they are super easy to apply. The trick is to look down at a mirror while you are applying. And if you still are having trouble this blog: http://www.ehow.com/video_4411059_lash-basics-fake-eyelashes-application.html has a whole how to video on how to apply lashes!
And my new addiction is Loreal Shocking mascara! It can even be applied with false lashes! The wand is amazing and the mascara runs only about $11.99! But you don’t have to take my word for it.

Finally, you need a hot pair of shoes! You know those yellow stiletto heels sitting in your closet you have been dying to wear? Well tonight is the night. And if you don’t own a pair of hot stand out shoes this is the part of Thirsty Thursday where you phone a friend and beg to borrow!!! Be bold! When it comes to shoes you are allowed to play, so be wild! Be a little daring. I promise no one will notice the dress is from 2006 ;).
