Dark and Stormy Dress

It was a dim and blustery night. The sound of raindrops dancing on the slate tile roof mimicked the rhythm of your stilettos racing up the creaky staircase. You hurriedly dashed into the walk-in closet with a look of pure determination - only twenty minutes remained until the opening reception of the new Decorative Arts wing at the local art museum, and you were supposed to be there ten minutes ago. Your eyes darted back and forth between hangers, dry cleaning bags, and dresser drawers until at last they spotted this oh-so-chic grey dress. You immediately decided to go with this short sleeve frock - the flattering scoop neck, cuffed short sleeves, removable cloth belt, and elasticated waist were instantly appealing. The sophisticated, dark heather grey skirt, contrasted with a silky smooth, black and grey tie-dye top, soon became a museum favorite. Fellow patrons couldn't stop complimenting your flawless ensemble, heightened by a few key silver accessories, black tights, and a pinstripe blazer.
