A great way to wear your LBD alone is to pair it with large pieces of jewelry. Choose pieces that are structural or add sparkle to your look. Stick to neutral colors, like gold or silver for metal pieces and clear or black for gemstones. For example, you might wear a chunky gold necklace that adds sheen to your neckline. As another option, you might wear a large faux-diamond cuff bracelet. Pick a silk, satin, or velvet shawl or kimono to create an elegant look. Pick a shawl if you'd like to show off more of your dress or a kimono if you want to create a totally different profile. Choose solid colors if you want your look to be more chic. If you like to show off your creativity, look for a bright color or pattern. For instance, you might choose a paisley print or a caftan. Take your LBD for a night on the town by adding a chic leather jacket. This will contrast with the formality of the dress to create an edgier look that isn't too formal. Switch up this style by wearing your jacket open sometimes but zipping it up other times. Black and tan leather both look great for this look. It's normal to want to show off a little more skin at night, and strappy heels are the perfect way to do that. Pick a pair of heels that are still comfortable to walk or dance in, if that's what you're doing. Try black heels for a monochrome look, or nude heels to make your legs look longer. As another option, pick a colorful shoe, like a bold red or hot pink. Pattern also works well for the evening, so you might break out your leopard print strappy heels. Similarly, studded or jeweled heels also work great. Heels work well for special occasions or date night, while boots offer a comfortable, unexpected option. Pick a pair that feels comfortable to you but that also compliments your dress. If you decide to wear heels, play around with color to create the look you want. For instance, wear black or nude heels for a chic look, or be bold with a gemstone color or a fun pattern. If you're wearing boots, stick to basic black or tan.

Experimental music began to take shape in the early to mid 1900s with the rising influence of Black Mountain College. Several classically trained composers began to experiment with what it means to write a composition. Today several artists and musicians take a pop genre, like techno, and experiment with it. The result, if done successfully, is an entirely different sound. An example is Stockhausen's "Helicopter String Quartet," which requires four helicopters and each member of the quartet to occupy a separate helicopter while playing in unison. Since the 1960s, certain musicians have been interested in blurring the line between a conventional pop song and something completely different. There is a trend in psychedelic experimental music to disrupt pop conventions. Bands like Acid Mother Temple do this by creating a hook through a melody and then branch off into a cosmic jam. Captain Beefheart's infamous album, Trout Mask Replica, is a fully composed album, but the record sounds like improvisation and insanity. In the mid 1970s, when the synthesizer were beginning to build momentum, certain artist found a new way to use the instrument. Being inspired from Indian ragas and other types of droning Eastern classical music, ambient music creates an atmosphere for the listener. Brian Eno popularized ambient music with compositions like "Music for Airports," which was composed to be played in airports. Another interesting cross genre is noise music. Noise music is loud and chaotic, but it oftentimes creates a consistent ambient wall of sound. Minimalist music refers to a specific scene of musicians in the 1960s up to the present day, who wrote music "minimally." The term itself does not fairly describe the music. Minimalist music is best characterized by several "minimal" layers of music stacked on top of each other to create something incredibly complex. Philip Glass wrote an opera called "Einstein on the Beach," which embodies this idea of stacking minimal melodies to create something massive. Other pioneers of the genre, Steve Reich and Terry Riley, have their own style of creating minimalist music.

Spousal support is most often an issue when one divorcing spouse makes a lot more money than the other. It can also be an issue if one spouse has taken time off work and was dependent on the other spouse as a result. If you do not include spousal support in your divorce settlement agreement, the judge will decide this issue for you when you get divorced. Spousal support is most common when one spouse quits work to stay home with the couple's small children. Spousal support is also common if one spouse makes a lot more money than the other, and as a result, the other spouse has become accustomed to a particular lifestyle. In your agreement, you can specify not only the amount of spousal support but the length of time those payments will be made. You can also decide whether you'll simply pay the money between yourselves or have the paying spouse's wages garnished. If you decide that neither of you will receive any spousal support, include a statement that says something like "Each of us gives up any right to spousal support that we may have." Which divorcing spouse gets to keep any marital pets is an issue that can be just as fraught as child custody for many couples. However, as part of your settlement agreement, you can establish rules regarding your pets that are just as detailed as parenting plans for children. As long as the two of you agree, the arrangement can be enforced in court. For example, you might decide that your spouse will have full ownership of your dogs, but that you can take them every other weekend. You can even agree that the non-custodial spouse will pay a certain amount each month to help with the cost of food, supplies, and veterinary bills. You may also want to specify your pet's veterinarian or make agreements regarding how often your pet will be taken to the vet for regular check-ups. All states have specific guidelines for calculating how much child support should be paid, and by which spouse. You typically cannot deviate from these requirements unless strict conditions are met. Most states have specific forms you'll need to fill out that show how you calculated child support and describe the specifics of your parenting plan. Talk to the clerk of the court where you filed (or plan to file) for divorce. These forms are also often available for download from the court's website. While you can outline the specifics of your child support agreement and parenting plan in the body of your settlement agreement, it's generally easier to fill out the required forms and incorporate them by reference. For example, under the section in your agreement labeled "Child Support and Custody," you could write "The state child support and parenting plan worksheets are attached and incorporated into this agreement by reference." If your local child support agency is involved in your case, they will likely have to sign off on your parenting plan and child support agreement. Even in the midst of a divorce, it's natural for parents to want to provide for their children's future. If you and your spouse have made any agreements regarding future expenses for your children, you can include those in your settlement agreement. For example, if your spouse has opened a savings account that they contribute to for your child's college expenses, you would include the account number, balance, and financial institution of that account, along with a statement regarding the purpose of the funds. If you or your spouse agree to contribute funds for your child's college or other expenses in the future, you may be able to deduct a portion of those amounts from any child support payments. Talk to a family law attorney or family court facilitator about how this works.
