Don't get us wrong, we love our favorite Little Black Dress. But after wearing it to about, oh, 16 bachelorette parties and post-work cocktail fetes in a row, we occasionally get the urge for something totally new. And that's where this very handy little styling trick comes in...
Check out Anna Kendrick on the red carpet at the premiere of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World earlier this week, wearing an adorable cocktail dress by Marchesa, with a totally unexpected accessory--bright yellow Jimmy Choo shoes! She could have worn practically any other shade with this dress--nude, a metallic like silver or gold, even black--but her choice of footwear turned this outfit from just kinda cute into a total knockout. And if you go bold with an unexpected color combination of your own at your next big party, I doubt anyone will be able to resist telling you how chic you are. Here are a few we really dig.
Take a cue from Anna and go sexy in a sleek blue and black strapless dress ($48 at macys.com)...and totally hot with your heels:
