My Black Little Dress

My Black Little Dress

By Sima Pokhrel

Black little dress can be chick and elegant,

Will make anyone look slimmer even an elephant.

Combine it with funky bright coloured accessories,

So the outfit seems glamorous as that of the fairies.

Wear it with scarves, hats or elaborate shoes,

Anything really, it depends on your views.

My personal favourite is a golden head band,

A gift from my sister who’s in fact my best friend.

Off to work I go in my black little dress,

Jewellery, heels, all ready to impress.

Classical make-up, glamorous hair and natural look,

For a runway model I may be easily mistook.

The dress code at work is strict and boring,

Have to wear formal attire every morning.

Keeping these guidelines well in my mind,

I fashion my dresses with what I can find.

Best thing I love about my black little dress,

Is its square cut and decoration with lace.

Short cap sleeves add a cute playful touch,

The length is short but not too much.

Confidence and charm is what this dress gives,

Can wear it in summer’s heat or among autumn leaves.

Always stylish in any season or time,

Even in cold days or when weather is fine.

So before disregarding the idea of black dress,

Consider how it adds elegance and grace.

It becomes any girl with any type of waist,

As long as it is fashioned with immaculate taste.
