What's Black and Black and Black all over?

That would be me. On party hosting days. Boss lady is hosting the Board Meeting in her home this month as a joint Holiday Party and Meeting (restoration powerpoint for the folk art environment). Anyway, I thought I could blend into the woodwork appropriately in black on black, but I wore some of my favorite pieces to keep it from being dullsville. I thrifted this dress years ago and love the texture, length  and nipped in fit. This sweater is cozy but boring as heck when I wear it loose, so belted it is! Toss in a few necklaces in tone on tone pewter and my ridiculous earrings that are vaguely reminiscent of snowflakes and I'm ready.
