[b]"Dear black one-shoulder dress, I am officially retiring you. We had a good run, and it was fun while it lasted, but it is time we went our separate ways! Thanks for the memories! xo Kim."

When Kim Kardashian good-naturedly posted a note on her website last week saying farewell to one of her wardrobe staples -- the black one-shoulder dress -- along with a slideshow documenting 18 similar black gowns the reality star had donned over the past year or so, our trend-o-meter started tingling. Though she may be retiring that particular style of gown, as we delved into our photo archives, we discovered that Kim has already found a new go-to look: the formfitting mini.

Sporting brand new bangs, Kim K. stepped out last Friday for a Perfumania appearance in a two-tone strapless Sass & Bide mini, just the latest in a long line of gowns designed to show off her va va voom hourglass figure. At a TCA Cocktail party on August 6, Kim donned a digital-print Alberto Makali number paired with Brian Atwood pumps. The pattern of the dress is a little questionable, but there's no denying it fits like a glove.

Whether her frocks are strapless, sleeveless, mid-length or long sleeved, black, white or patterned, Kardashian mixes it up so her minis don't look repetitive, but you'll notice one common trait: they all stop in the exact same place -- mid thigh. The best way to accentuate curves is to don formfitting gowns that highlight the waist, as loose clothes only add bulk to a curvaceous physique. And as Kim's on the petite side height-wise, minis and high heels are the best way to extend her body line.

So though she may stick to one silhouette the majority of the time, Kim definitely knows how to dress for her shape. Why mess with perfection?"[/b]
