LBD For All Tomorrow's Parties

I always say, spend on the LBD that will last you a few memorable years, and thrift on the dress that's a "one-night stand".  (This includes the wedding party dress, the knock-out worn at your 10 year reunion and anything worn at a company holiday function.)  It's a good rule to live by especially when 'tis the season of a frightening economy.  So the LBD on the fashion savvy forefront remains to be "quality" and never "quantity." Do you know what I mean

Little Black Dresses

Your LBD should be ready and waiting for whenever you need it.  And once a year you should splurge for a new LBD as a default in case anything should happen to the other LBD.  Think of it as your style insurance for fashion emergencies.  
I'm almost sure that Coco Chanel would approve of it.
