Why it works

A strapless black midi with a skirt that moves is the whole point — if it doesn't pass the twirl test, it stays on the rack. The cherry-red heel does the talking, which is exactly why the crystal earrings never climb past the high street: past a certain sparkle, nobody can read a price tag. The wrap is for the walk home.
