I do this exact thing with my forms something like this

input, select, textarea {
    width:150px;
    border:1px solid black;
    background-color:#fff;
    color:#000;
    }

input.submit {
    color:#fff;
    background-color:#000;
    width:auto;
    border:3px outset #fff;
    }

you have to declare your exceptions with something of higher specificity
than your originals, in this example it's done by using the tag+class
declaration.
