LBD, Little Boring Dress?

The Little Black Dress has been recognized as such an important fashion necessity, it's been given its own acronym (LBD). Ever since ever since its debut in Breakfast at Tiffany's, this stand alone piece has continued to show its wardrobe worthiness.

S.P.

 In fashion the LBD is your rock; your go-to, no fail, always appropriate, always look good, always feel good outfit of choice. (Not to be confused with the rock one would wear on one's finger). But just because this piece is solid, doesn't mean you can get lazy. Don't let your little black dress become your little boring dress.

The foundation is solid and sophisticated but to really add style bear in mind two A's: Architecture and Accessories. (Yes, double A's know how to have fun too!)

Architecture: The fabric: stiff wool vs cozy knit, the cut: full length up to mini, the hem, the neckline, the buttons the sleeves the zippers and on and on and on! All of the essential elements that allow a 'simple' LBD to be so varied and unique.

Accessories: Earrings, Necklace, Bracelets choose one or many! They are  the decor, the finishing touches, that take your dress  to the next level, add your personality and make your dress so memorable. Don't limit yourself. Remember you can really mix it up with belts, bags and boots too.

S.P.

Your Little Black Dress: Feel free to wear it many times, and many ways. They say every woman's wardrobe should have an LBD. No one ever said you can't have more than one!
