Should I wear peep toe, black satin pumps or a closed toe, pewter pumps? I’m attending a wedding this weekend and have purchased a black satin, sleeveless dress. I am wearing a chunky, sparkly pewter color necklace.

You can wear either peep toe, black satin pumps or closed toe, pewter pumps with your dress. Try both styles and colors with your black satin dress and do a mirror test. With black satin peep toe pumps you can wear sheer black stockings. With closed toe, pewter pumps wear sheer neutral hose. Wear the shoes you think look the most flattering.

When to Wear Neutral Color Sheers
Whether it’s a luncheon, party, wedding or dinner dance many women are still confused about when to wear sheer hosiery / sheer stockings.

Build A Basic Wardrobe
There is no perfect basic wardrobe that applies to all. A basic wardrobe takes into consideration lifestyle or clothing for all of our activities. If you are a hockey coach your wardrobe is going to be a lot different from a corporate lawyer’s. However when we choose a basic article of clothing it is something we should plan on wearing many times (getting our money’s worth). These items are like good investments since they will reward us many times in the future. When buying basics purchase quality pieces, not necessarily the most expensive.
