Introducing my ultimate, go-to, <\/strong>freakum<\/strong><\/em> dress<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AA\"<\/p>\n

Say hello to my new favorite LBD<\/a>, the rather well-known, cotton spandex double U-back body-con dress<\/a> by none other than American Apparel<\/a>. In black, of course. Thirty-eight dollars of well spent money on the ultimate dress. Leave it to American Apparel to create such a sophisticated yet sexy basic of versatility.<\/p>\n

Undeniably sexy and body conscious, hugging every little curve. A plus for emphasizing the curvaceousness of an hourglass silhouette – but consider yourselves warned: this is not a dress to be worn when un petit<\/em> food baby appears after a satisfying dinner has just been consumed.<\/p>\n

Oh it just got hot in here.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
