DILEMMA: Help! I have a what do I wear question! How can I cut out of work early to race across town to meet my girlfiends (yes I spelled that right) at Acapulco, delicately guzzle down, let’s say, three high quality margaritas, my share of at least four bowls of chips n salsa, and a healthy tostada salad <*cough> without blowing up like an eleven month pregnant puffer-fish midway through the evening? I just don’t have time to drive home and dig through my fat goin’ out clothes… and there could very well be boys involved later on, when I’m drunk enough to actually want to meet any. What can I possibly wear that will be comfortable, flattering AND sexy from the time I enter the restaurant (peckish and sober) until the time I roll home in the early morning hours (3700 calories later)? Keep in mind that I don’t have a lot of money to spend on clothes, because, and God forbid I have to buy my own drinks, good Tequila isn’t cheap!

SOLUTION: That, dear reader, would be the simple dark colored wrap dress, like so…

This particular model retails for a comfortable $29.50 in your choice of raspberry plum, basic black, a soft blue-gray and a green turquoise color. This is a real wrap dress, the kind that opens all the way, with one tie threaded through the opening at the waist, not a fake sewn up wrap dress, the kind that doesn’t let you adjust to your particular figure. The wrap dress, by the way, is the most universally flattering dress known to woman. And if, like me, you seem to be starving after a few cocktails, then you should probably own at least half a dozen.

Here are a few more wrap dresses to sift through. Happy dress shopping!
