Mariah Carey's Checkered Dress: Hit or Miss?

The diva and mom of twins doesn't let anyone rule her style choices from her skin tight dresses to her sky high stilettos. But sometimes, even with a clothing budget as big as Mariah's, mistakes can be made. It's not that this dress looks a wee bit more like a table cloth than a piece of clothing, it's not that the belt cinches it in an odd way, it's that the dress is far too long to be wearing in the snowy streets of Aspen.They are preparing to spend their very first Christmas together.But it looks like Kim Kardashian has already finished her preparations - spending the run up to the big day enjoying the company of Kanye West.The couple dressed in matching outfits in matching black outfits as they headed out in Los Angeles on Sunday.

She teamed it with a pair of over-the-knee boots and a black and gold clutch bag.Women own ￡204 worth of clothing they don't wear.She wore her hair long over her shoulders, having made multiple visits to the salon over recent days.She revealed on her blog that the salon had been dyeing her hair darker after she lightened it while in Miami.'I had to dye my hair back dark for the winter,' Kim wrote. 'After Miami I was honestly just soooo over it being light and listened to the suggestions to take my hair back to my natural color!'Kanye cast her admiring glances as they left a Chinese restaurant in West Hollywood.He wore his trusty black leather trousers, which he loves so much he rarely takes off.The sometime fashion designer teamed them with a black T-shirt and blue/black waistcoat.
Kim is looking forward to spending her first holiday season with Kanye, tweeting: 'Good morning everyone! I am so anxious for Christmas Eve tomorrow! This is by far my favorite time of year!'Her brother Rob told E! that Kanye would 'of course' be amongst the family at this year's celebrations.'My mom has a really big Christmas party every year on Christmas Eve,' he explained.'Christmas is home, so everyone will be home and we'll all hang out together.'And he said he was excited to catch up with his busy siblings.I'm with the family, and that's the best part,' Rob said. 'Everybody's been so busy. I finally get to see my little niece Penelope and it'll be nice to just hang out. I've been traveling so much.'The "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" has nothing on Sara Rosengard's traveling dress.The 97-year-old Northbrook woman sewed the little frock 69 years ago and has been sending it to every little girl in her family when she reaches size four."I made it almost 70 years ago for a niece. After a few wearings, she outgrew it and it was sent back to me. So I sent it to another child, and so on and so on," Rosengard said."Before I knew it, I had pictures of it being worn by 14 children," she added.
