A common mistake is to wear knee-high boots with a dress that barely covers your knees

It doesnt need to be so

This charming swing dress from Unique Vintage, is cast in a black stretch knit, The fitted bodice is framed by an off one shoulder asymmetrical silhouette, while the full swing skirt drops to your knees

The contrast between the feminine dress and the masculine boots is sure to turn heads

You can even wear black chinos for a slightly dressy but utilitarian look

And I love Navy and gold because they are different than your typical red and green colors. A simple black dress is another holiday staple in Murphys closet because she says its great for any occasion
