Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you can’t strut your stuff in a little black dress anymore. For maximum wear, look for one with a longer hemline and more coverage than your crazy college days. That way, you’ll be able to wear it everywhere and not only to a party.

Date night daring: Your LBD will be anything but boring when you pair it with a bright red pout and leopard print wedges. Watch out though, your hubby might want to jump you.
