Okay, so my friend found out that the guy i like does like me. The problem is i am 15 and he turns 19 on saturday. 2nd problem... he has a child who turns two in October. I have posted a question about this before a few days ago. But now i have decided i want to try to see if him and i can make this go somewhere. BUT, my mother and I are having serious trust issues with me. She does not want me hanging out with dirtbags, and i told her i did and she flipped. But i want to know how i can tell her that he is 19 and has a child. My mother got pregnant at 16 with my older brother so i want to think of a way to make it sound decently okay. I know it really is not but I want to try it. Does anyone have any kind of way that i can tell her this in the nicest, mature , understanding way? I would HIGHLY appreciate it! Thank you so MUCH!!

To be frank, I think this relationship is a bad idea. Guys who have hard times for whatever reason getting with girls their age try to get with young girls. The young girls think they'll be cool going out with an older guy, but it's just a bad idea. Older guys expect to do more, like have sex. Thats most likely how he ended up with his child.

Your mother has been there, and is completely justified in being upset by the idea of you dating him.

You need to surround yourself with the best people to support you, not people like this guy. These 'dirtbags' will lead you down the wrong path. If your mom wouldn't approve of a person, then you shouldn't either.

Good luck,

my bestfriend lives with me and my mom and dad. she got kicked out of her house and shes been living with me for about 7 months. im put up with it and now im just getting annoyed very easily. She is that type of girl where whatever she says goes. if something doesnt go her way she will not be happy. im one of those girls who cant really stand up for herself. ive told her no before but she gives me the guilt trip. ive just started always saying yes to her just so i avoid her being mad at me. shes also stolen things from me but i dont have the mouth to open up and say anything. i want her to leave but i could never say no to her. she knows what buttons to push to change my mind to make herself happy. we usually go out on the weekends to party and i mostly do it because she wants to. i have a boyfriend and he hates the way she treats me and i put up with it. shes told me that she feels like i put my bf before her but thats not true because i drop everything for her. she tells me drive here i drive there for her just to make her happy. so my boyfriend asked me on monday if i wanted to go to the movies on friday. and i said i wasnt sure because im not sure if i can go out because my friend wants to party. which is very stupid because i cant hang out with my boyfriend because i have to party with my friend? she is not a understanding person if i ever told her i already have plans she would freak out and thats what i try and avoid from her. so i want to go out to the movies and dinner with my boyfriend because its my last weekend here before i go away for 2 weeks. my friend wont stop talking about the party she wants to go to tomorrow and i dont have the balls to be like No, i dont want to do that i have plans, find a ride. (she doesnt have her license, shes also 19) which makes her depend on me for her ride everywhere. i drop everything to come home and drive her. for an example i was sleeping over my bfs and she called me at 4 in the morning to drive her home because she had no other ride. i ended up getting up and driving her which is stupid. i don't know what to do about tomorrow because im afraid to talk to her. i cant tell her no. and i want to go with my boyfriend. i almost want to leave her a letter and be like "i know your going to get mad but i can't tell you this to your face. ive had plans since monday to go out with paul for dinner and a movie ive just been afaid to tell you" or something on that affect and not come home and shut my phone off. im afraid of what she will say. please help or any suggestions !? thank you!

Honestly, you need to put your fears behind you and stand up for yourself. You are an adult and should be able to handle this.

My best friend sometimes makes me angry because it seems like her needs should come before everyone else's, but you just need to stand up for yourself.

And I had another friend who I was afraid to make plans with because she caused drama. The way she would get angry and yell at me made me afraid to talk to her. Eventually I had to let her go out of my life.

Sit down and talk to your best friend. Make a list of things you want her to hear so she cant distract you.

Tell her how she makes you feel and don't hide anything, but also don't accuse her of anything or be defensive, this will cause an argument. Tell her that you aren't mad, but you are hurt. Let her know you value her friendship but the two of you have to wrok at it.

Make ground rules. She should follow some rules since she lives with you for free! Tell her sometimes your boyfriend does have to come first. Let her know that you can't go party with her because he made plans with you already, but since you are canceling on her last minute maybe you can drop her off at the party?

Tell her you are happy to give her rides sometimes, but you can't do it all the time. Maybe she could help pay for gas if you take her everywhere?

If you talk calmly with her and she can't come to some compromise or understanding, then maybe she needs to move out. It might just SAVE your friendship not to live under the same roof.

Do what YOU have to do to be happy. It isn't about making anyone else happy! Remember that!

Good luck,

im still in high school, a male, and recently my dad lost his job. He was getting paid really well and his company was paying him for 6 months, and now that 6 months is up and now he doesnt get paid anymore.

the thing is, hes working now, kinda, like he is working for an insurance company but he says he doesnt get paid and only get paid comission. lately i've been worried ass hell for him and our family. My mom still has her job and makes good money, but my dad is the one im worried about. i just dont understand it and why i have to worry about it. I mean, he is a smart guy, went to a good college, and got a degree in engeneering and have always managed to make it through. but lately i saw his mail and it says he hasnt been paying the mortgage on his condo lately and also that our car insurance has been cancelled.

all these things hasnt taken affect, at least i dont think so, but whenever i try to talk to my dad about it, he kinds ignores it and doesnt seem to care and just simply tells me not to worry. but i've been going crazy lately and i cant even think about anything else besides his money.

i dont get it, and what makes me more mad is that other people at my school are rich and have nothing to worry about, and they dont even deserve it. All they do is go to trash parties and get in their nice cars their parents bought for them, and im sitting here, not even thinking about going out with friends, but instead worrying about my dads money issue. I dont wanna be in a shithole or broke or anything, which we arent. I mean, out family has been pretty well of since like ever, but i dont know about now. My dad wont say anything about it and im really starting to worry.

Please help me, i dont know what to do, and i feel like i need to worry about it. Ive been crying and i just cant think of anything to think about or what to do.... please.. (link)
This recession has been hard on just about everyone, but its easy not to see its effects until it hits you or someone close to you.

Its sad that your dad lost his well paying job, but think about how lucky he is to have gotten another job. Even if it doesn't pay as well, its still a job.

He has a degree and work experience, it won't be too long before he works his way up or finds another position that pays better.

Trust your dad for now, I'm sure he has everything covered. It's okay if some bills slip through the cracks, he can recover later.

You can't change the attitudes of the spoiled kids at school, but you can change yours. Do you have a part time job? Maybe you could get one and try to contribute at home by buying groceries, supplies, or just needing less money from your parents.

Try not to worry, it sounds like you have more than what you need to get by and that your parents are responsible and can handle it. You will get through this.

i cant dance unless im drunk. ive tried and i just freeze up and get really insecure. im going to my bfs prom and i have to dance sober. what do i do! (link)
I know it's hard to dance when all the attention is on you, but at prom theres hundreds of kids dancing in the same area. At my proms we are packed pretty tight and you can barely see the few people around you. Once you get into the crowd and see everyone else having a good time and dancing, it will be easier for you to. Just enjoy the music and get into a song you really like, and it will come naturally.

Good luck,

okay so I have been dating this guy for the past three months and I recently found out he was cheating on me! He told the girl he made out with that he was single and that I was just his friend! I found this out cause i incidentally talked to the girl.I really got angry when I found out he had been lying to me all this while and I immediately broke up with him. when i confronted him about the whole thing he had to accept it but then for the first five hours after confrontation he was all like "i cant believe i could lie so well.." but after that he said sorry and kept on texting and calling me up! he wanted me back and told me he was very sorry and all and he actually spoke to some of his friends (who i know too) about the whole thing and how he really feels sorry about everything. he told some of our mutual friends to call me up too ..should i trust him again and go back to him or not???? (link)
Don't go back to him. My opinion about cheating is:

If he does it, but then feels guilty and soon after admits it, he truly cares about you.

If he lies and never has plans to tell you, then he doesn't care and has no remorse.

You deserve a guy who can treat you right, not one who is a liar. Pleae stand up for yourself

Good luck,

I'm selling two dresses, and I need some opinions on what I should ask for them.

The first is a prom dress. It's from last season (2010), and it was 500 dollars bought brand new. It was only worn once for about four hours. I'm not sure how much I should ask for this.

The second is a wedding dress. It was also only worn once obviously. It's from about six years ago and it was worth 3,000 dollars new.

Thanks for any help! (link)
Hey there,

I think I could help you but pictures and designers would help me out.

For prom dresses, last season and already worn takes off anywhere from 20%-40% original price. Department stores would probably cut it in half even on clearance, but you don't want to get ripped off.
The condition of the dress also matters, like are there any stains (check for deoderant stains also), any tears, wrinkles, did you have it altered to fit you? That might also decrease the price you should ask for.

The wedding dress doesn't have to decrease so much because of how old it is, since many are classic designs. As long as it isn't too modern. I would have it cleaned before selling it since it's probably sat in a closet for years.

I'd take at least 20% off the purchase price but no more then 40%.

Good luck,

-Abby


I feel like i am ugly most of the time, sometimes i feel pretty but that's only when i take my time on my make-up or hair. All my friends say i am really pretty but obviously i am not since i have never had a boyfriend. i also have a big nose i hate it and i told my mom and she said i could get surgery if i wanted to when i get older but i don't want to. but anyway i feel really ugly because no one likes me and i have never had a boyfriend and my sister always says she is prettier than me and i know that she is joking but that really makes me feel really ugly because my sister is always really pretty even without make-up and when she says that kind of stuff it make me feel like she doesn't approve of me as her sister. (link)
First off, lets start by removing ugly from your vocabulary. By calling yourself ugly, it gives other people the right to call you that.

Being pretty is not the key success. I've seen not the typical idea of attractive people getting boyfriends and girlfriends. I've definitely had moments of "What is he doing with her?! He's too cute for that!"

Getting a boyfriend is not all about being pretty. I didn't have a boyfriend til I was SEVENTEEN. I felt like a huge late bloomer. But it wasn't until then that I was confident enough, comfortable with myself, and I found the right person.

Guys are attracted to confidence and a good personality. Most guys won't go up to the most gorgeous girl if she doesn't have a smile and isn't been friendly because that is intimidating.

Sibling rivalry is probably the cause of your sister's negative comments. Next time she says something like that tell her you don't appreciate it or just ignore her. Your own family members shouldn't put you down.

You need to focus on YOU. Make a list of the things you love about yourself. Dress to bring out your features, like a mini skirt if you have great legs or a high waisted belt if you have a tiny waist.
Try your best to be friendly, outgoing, talkative, and put yourself out there. Meet new people, have fun, and soon you will be feeling a lot better about yourself. A boy will come to you when its the right time, there isn't any rush.

What I choose to believe is, attractiveness or 'prettyness' is in the eye of the beholder. Tribes that live in the Amazon think gouging their ears and lips are attractive. Everyone has their own opinion. But beauty comes from the heart. Beauty is your personality, the good you do, the people you help. It's something that just lights up the room. All you have to do is let it out. You can find someone who loves you because of your inner and outer beauty.

Good luck,

-Abby


I just bought some lip plumber, foundation and waterproof mascara. What else should I buy that would enchance my beauty features??? Girls answer only! (link)
You have a good start already, so now you can add to your collection.

Eye liner really makes the eyes more sexy and noticeable. Go with black always, and experiment with a cat eye if youre feeling bold.

I would start with pencil, and if you like the cat eye get a liquid eye liner.

Eye shadow can really bring out your eye color, so pick colors that compliment your eyes.

Blue eyes look great with browns and golds. Brown eyes look great with purple, golds, and metallics. Green eyes look good with just about any color, like purple, blue, and warm colors. Hazel eyes can rock just about anything depending on the dominant color in them.

Covergirl and Almay have eye shadow sets designed for a specific eye color to make things easier.

Bronzer can be a girls best friend. Use it to contour your face and make you look thinner and more defined. (make a 'fishy' face and apply the bronzer on the parts that are sucked in. Also apply it on areas that the sun would naturally hit if you were outside.

If you have nice cheek bones why not use a blush. A pink or coral shimmery one would be great for spring.

I really love eyeslipsface.com for CHEAP but decent make up, as well as drug stores.

Have fun with make up and experiment!

I used to be a really happy person. I used to be optimistic. But things started crashing down, so I started having depression. It's been months since I've had it. I'm trying to get out of depression, so I'm trying to be that optimistic thinker I was before.... Is there any way I can become optimistic again? For example, if something goes bad... How can I learn how to think positive or even forget about it and continue to focus on what's going on, or my school work? (link)
I've been in your position many times and I know how hard it is. For me it's so much easier to focus on the negative side and not see the positive parts of life.

What you need to do is think about all the good things you have going on. Think about how much WORSE things can be. You could be a homeless person or starving, you could be in jail, you could have cancer. You are very fortunate already.

You should appreciate the good things in life and think about how happy they make you.

What qualities about yourself do you love? What do people give you compliments on? What is special about you? Realize that we are all unique in our own way, and no one is like you.

Make plans that you can look forward to. Even if its as simple as hanging out with a friend, if you have that you can get through the boring parts of the day.
Mix up your life with a new activity. Try a new sport, take a class, take a trip, make new friends, get out there! Theres no way to fail.

And most of all, find the positive in the bad situations. Boring math class? Try talking to someone in there you've never talked to before. Get into an argument with your mom? Put yourself in her position and see what she sees.

Find songs that inspire you and blast them in your room. Music always lifts my mood.

You could also have little pick me ups for when your feeling down. Going for a walk puts me in a good mood, or a mini shopping spree (or even window shopping). Make your favorite dessert or do something nice for someone. You have control over your life and you can make it how you want it.

Positive thinking takes time but once you see the sunny side, it's great.

Good luck,

-Abby


This is really short: I work with this great guy and we are really hitting it off, but here's the problem -- I work with him. I kind of promised myself I wouldn't date someone who I worked with just incase something didn't work out since I would still have to see him everyday. But I ALWAYS feel this way with guys, whether I work with them or not (I kind of have a wall up).

Everyone says I need to take chances to actually find love, should I? (link)
First off, does your work have a policy against this? Some employers might have grounds to fire you because of fraternizing at work.

Would it effect your work performance? Do you two have the ability to remain professional at work? And would you have to keep the relationship a secret or could you be open about it at work?

If it won't jeopardize your career, then I think it may be a risk worth taking.

But would you be okay with seeing him and interacting with him every day if you break up?

If you are willing to take all of that into consideration and it still seems worth it, then go for it. Just see where it goes right now and have fun. Theres nothing wrong with meeting someone at work.

Good luck,

-Abby


How do you get over a guy you've like for about 8 or 9 months because I can't get my mind off of him and it's like I don't know it makes me sad that I'm not with him or he's not talking to me. And I ve tried giving it time and tried liking another guy but in mymind he tops everyone... I'm not and open person so I can't just say to him I like you because there's many reasons I wish it was that easy but nope ! What can I do?? (link)
I know how you feel. There's a guy who has been in my life for years, since seventh grade (I'm now a senior in high school) and at the beginning I developed a crush on him. We talked a lot and became close, but he never liked me. It was very difficult to let go because he was still around a lot, and it complicated things. What helped me move on was just branching out, meeting new people and new guys, and talking to him less. Now I see that he isn't the perfect guy I thought he was and I'm in a relationship with a guy I really care about. Things may seem difficult now but in time you will naturally get over him. Do your best not to dwell on what could have been and focus on the present.

Try to get out there and meet new people but don't force anything. When you are ready and its the right time a new person will come into your life. Maybe you can try something new to get you out of this funk. Join a club, go on a trip, change your hair style, take up a sport, whatever you want! You don't need a guy to make your life worthwhile.

Good luck,

-Abby


okay my best friend is getting married and I am her maid of honor but I don't kno wat to do, I have to do her bachelorette party and reception and party favors is there any website that could help me out (link)
Hey there!

theknot.com is a fun wedding website that has lots of cool ideas and a wedding planning feature on it, I believe.

First off, sit down with your friend and talk about the wedding. Ask her what she needs help with and what she expects you to do.

Planning the bachelorrete party is probably your biggest task. Ask the other bridesmaids for their help (and financial contributions!)

Other than that, you just need to do things for the bride as they come along, like helping with seating charts, dress shopping etc.

Don't stress, this will be a great time!

Good luck,

Whatever happened to Monogamy? I broke up with this guy 7 months ago because he was still receiving calls from numerous women. Now 7 months later he has contacted me..I made the wrong mistake that he wanted a true relationship, but I recently got the nerve and asked him was he sleeping with other women. He said he was not sleeping with anyone else, but he stated that there was still the possibility that he would sleep with someone else. I eventually walked away this week and asked him to just leave me alone. I dont know what to think or what he wanted. Now wondering whether he cared for me at all? I am 42 he is 51. (link)
You have a good question.

Some people just don't value monogamy anymore. Monogamy has sort of been in a cycle of social acceptance. In the time of ancient rome orgies were held and many stories of royalty involve affairs that were meant to be secret but blatantly were not. Go back to your great grandparents and the norm was to marry pretty young and stay committed to that person. If you broke that bond it was a sin against society and the church, those people were heavily ostracized.

The big influence was the church. If you were Catholic, divorces were not allowed, period. People felt stuck. Today, you don't find as many devout people who follow such laws. They think, why even get married? I can date around, be with whom I want, and not be tied down.

It really depends on the person. It sounds like your guy is a player and isn't looking for commitment. At his age (the midlife crisis zone) it seems like he just wants to enjoy life. Does that mean you can't be monogamous? No, but he doesn't realize that for whatever reason.

You should just move on and look elsewhere. You will find that one person who is special. He will see the best in you and want YOU and you only.

Besides, you can do better then the guy whose giving you a hard time, you are almost a decade younger!

I am a 32 year old women. I have good hygiene. I shower daily. I know how to wipe myself after using the restroom. My boyfriend told me today that when we have sex I smell like urine. I am so embarrassed. We have been together for 8yrs and he has never said this before. We have 2 kids and I noticed after having them it is harder to hold my urine in when I need to go pee. I am wondering if maybe I am leaking urine sometimes and don't know it. I have tried kegel exercises and it does not help with strengthening. Now I'm worried that my backside smells as well. Whay can he smell it and I can't. Sound I go to the Dr. Please help, any suggestions. (link)
Don't be embarrased about this. At some point or other, guys and girls, smell 'down there'.

Many women lose bladder control or muscle control after having kids, so leaking urine is a possibility. A doctor may help you lessen this, and seeing a gynecologist for check ups is always a good idea so why not go see one?

For right now I suggest using feminine cleansing soaps and keep some wipes handy for right before you have sex. You could also incorporate lubricants that have fun flavors and scents.

If you are embarrased be open with your boyfriend and try to find a solution instead of feeling self-concious.

Good luck,

My boyfriend and I were supposed to hang out tonight, but he decided to go out with his friends instead. This is not the first time that hes decided his friends are more important than I am, nor will it be the last.

I called him after he told me we wouldn't be hanging out, and told him that I felt like i wasn't as important as his friends. He proceeded to tell me that he didn't want to deal with it right now and that he would talk to me later and hung up.

What did i do wrong?? There have been times where hes told me hes coming to pick me up and then decided he was to tired and i've walked the hour home from work at midnight. I just am so upset right now i feel like i put all the effort in the relationship and as soon as i get my hopes up about something, he changes plans and i'm just not in the picture anymore.

I'm afraid to approach him because i don't want him to blow up and just call our relationship off. But i'm afraid to leave it alone because i know its bad for me to be stewing about it and not letting it out.

What should i do?

Im 20 hes 28. We've been together for a year and a half. (link)
When I first read your message, I thought your boyfriend was a teenager because thats what teen guys tend to do. Then I read that he's 28! Your boyfriend sounds pretty immature.

You are completely right in being upset. It isn't fair of him to make plans with you and then change them just to hang out with his friends. He needs to make time for both of you, but that doesn't mean ditching either when it's convienant for him.

Him letting you walk home alone at midnight? Thats unacceptable. That blantantly says he's lazy and doesn't care about your safety. I would have ended it right there.

I know you don't want to cause drama, but you need to fight for what you deserve. If he isn't giving you what you need, then he isn't the right guy for you. Pick a quiet time to talk to him about this and try not to be accusatory or make him be defensive. Just express how he makes you feel and ask him if he wants to change to fix it.

Don't let this go, you will only end up resenting him so much.

Good luck,

what are some of the earliest signs of pregnancy, and how early can the symptoms start? also, we is it the safest to take a test before my missed period, I've heard anywhere from two - three weeks. Is that right?

please and thank you.

(link)
Typically, most women don't really exhibit early symptoms of pregnancy. Morning sickness may occur, or breast tenderness, no period/light spotting. Those things become a lot more prevalent as you get further along, like between 1-3 months pregnant. So you may not know you are pregnant unless you are looking out for it and take a test.

Not all tests are accurate and it is hard to get a for sure positive when your testing weeks before your missed period. They have tests I believe that can show you about a week before your missed period, but thats as far as I know. I would wait until you actually have a missed period to take a test, or go to a doctor and get the most accurate results possible.

Good luck,

-Abby


I am 16, Im not new to having my period, I'm a virgin, and I haven't had my period in a while, maybe going on 5-6 weeks. What is going on?? I'm 99.9% positive that I'm not pregnant because the only thing that ever happened to me was a boy tried to finger me, I didn't let him, but he ended up touching me for one second! I highly doubt that did anything but still Some one please help me out here!!! (link)
It's totally normal for your periods to be irregular. Some women NEVER have regular on schedule periods, and some have a few irregular periods or skip a period. That's fine.

I'm sure you aren't pregnant. Don't worry about that. Things like stress and change can mess with your schedule.

If you don't get your period in a few months and you feel that it has stopped completely then I would see a doctor. But for now, enjoy it!


ive been with my boyfriend for half a year and i am completely comfortable w him and i could defiinitely see myself losing it to him. the only problem is that i know hes goin to college and if i do it w him then hes just gona leave forever you kno. he wants to still see me in college but i feel like those things never work out. i know if i lose it, realistically, im not gonna necessarily get married to the person i lose my virginity to (and im ok with that), but i want it to be with someone who truly cares about me and i truly care about. so what do you think.. should i do it even if i know things for our future dont look good for the sake of losing it to someone i have strong feelings for&am comfortable with? (link)
Do it only because you:

A) Really want to. You have the desire to do it, and not only because you want to do it for your boyfriend.

B) You are ready. Meaning physically, emotionally, etc. You have all the protection you need and you are ready to take this step. Do you
feel mature enough to do this? Are you secure in your relationship? What if you feel different about yourself after? Some girls feel used, dirty, or just weird after having sex for the first time. Can you handle that?
Do you have the support you need like friends, parents, a counselor, someone to talk to? I suggest you definitely do that before making this decision.

C)Are prepared for the consequences. Like you said, your boyfriend will be going off to college.
If you lose your virginity to him, you will always remember him. It will make him leaving that much harder. It will change the relationship you have now, and it could complicate it or make things awkward. Are you ready to face that?

Being comfortable with him is great and important. Having strong feelings for him is also great. Just really examine your relationship and decide if sex is a good step for the both of you, in terms of now, and the future.

Most importantly, USE PROTECTION! I know you have heard it a million times, but it only takes one slip up to have a baby or get an STD.

Good luck,

Okay so i called my friend to see if she was home and her mom picked up, she said her daughter [ my friend ] wasn't home yet she said her daughter would come home any time soon. And she asked me if i wanted to come over and wait. so i came over and my friends mom started talking to me and asked me if i snuck to my friends house 2 weeks ago at mid nite, i did acctually but i didnt awnser my friends mom. She told me she heard alot of moaning, but the truth is we were listening to the sounds of people doing it as a joke Lol :p so her mom got a little closer to me PS: her mom is 28. and is very pretty (:
so she comes on top of me and starts making out with me and then takes me up stairs to her bed room.
she tells me my daughter is away at her dad's house she wont be back for another 4 weeks ;)
and she stripped me down and started fucking me; i liked it .... then after that she always invited me over till her daughter came back home then.. i didnt wanna do this! but idk its tempting and it made me really horny... help am i a lez!?!? i dont wantt to be i mean i (link)
Before you wonder about your sexuality, perhaps you should be concerned that a MOTHER seduced you, an under age girl. I'm assuming you are under age because of the way you write, or at least immature. It almost seems like you are making up a story here, but I hope not because a lot of columnists work hard to help people like you.

If you are under age, she commited a crime. This action seems innapropiate no matter what age since she is the mother of your friend.

Think about your health and safety before wondering if you are a lesbian. You may want to consider reporting this woman.

I just bought this skirt and I really like it...I want to wear it to this banquet I have to go to this weekend...would a plain black long sleeve shirt look ok with it? like tucked in? Is it ok if the black shirt and the black of the band on the waist dont match perfectly?

A black shirt would work with this. Definitely tuck it in and pair it with a bold necklace.

If you have a turtleneck, it would make the skirt look that much more stylish (think Kim Kardashian).

It's okay if the blacks don't match perfectly as long as it isn't an eye sore. If the shirt looks old and faded, don't wear it.

The best shoes for the outfit would be black pumps, but work with what you have. (Metallic shoes would also look great)

Good luck,
