I have often written on my blog about wardrobe staples and I feel that every woman should have a simple black dress in her wardrobe. Owning such a dress means you're ready for a wedding, a funeral, a date or a cocktail party.
However, sometimes it's nice to go beyond basic black. And one of those times is the holidays. Right around the corner is the season for eggnog, mistletoe and wining and dining with friends. While you could use a simple LBD to ring the season in with style, choosing color can add a festive touch to your ensemble while also making you stand out in a crowd.
Take a cue from Michelle Obama, who at the South Korea state dinner stood out in a sea of black in her ultraviolet one-shouldered gown from designer Doo-Ri Chung. Her choice of a must-notice color allowed her not to have to rely on sparkly jewelry, a fancy updo or unique makeup. The dress was elegant yet relatively simple, letting the color steal the show.

According to BNET, the reason for the fast fashion retailers slowness in offering a way for customers to shop online is due to
supply chain issues. Both retailers have committed to ambitious sustainability plans, which must be carefully taken into account when expanding to the online arena.
H&M and Zara are only two of a number retailers who have yet to offer online shopping. Here are ten other fashion retailers we wish would add the ability to shop online:
