So I was watching Oprah the other night and her guest ending the show was the creative director for O magazine, Adam Glassman. He’s the guy who dresses Oprah for all her magazine covers. He suggested that every working girl should have a classic black shift dress in her wardrobe. I couldn’t agree more.
