LBD Style

to Read (
Words)
Wearing – Dress: French Connection {Old, similar} | Shoes: BCBG Max Azria | Necklace: Ily Couture {old} | Bracelets: Olive + Piper, Mindy's Minute Market | 
Watch: Vince Camuto

Every fashionable girl needs a little black dress–aka LBD–in their style arsenal. In my mind, it's non-negotiable. I have so many black dresses in different styles I can't even begin to name them, but they are perfect, regardless of season, and can be worn to pretty much any event you can think of. Not to mention, if you buy a black jersey dress, the style can be dressed up or down to your liking. I found this dress originally on Piperlime and the shape and overall fit of the dress were too good to pass up. Enjoy this LBD style! Who agrees with me? Can you really ever have too many?

      Thank you Nicole! I knew when I saw it that the style of the dress was going to work well with my shape, and I couldn't resist pairing it with a sparkling statement necklace.

      I can't get enough LBD's. They are perfect for everything, I swear! The shape of this one is somewhat a favorite of mine since I'm a bit more pear shaped.

    Thank you so much for your kind words on my blog! You are stunning. I love your hair color. The necklace is the perfect pairing for the dress. I've been wanting an all crystal one to go with anything. I'm going to have to try the CO Bigelow product you mentioned liking!

      Thank you Amy Ann! You are too sweet for stopping by just to say thank you. My hair color is definitely a work-in-progress as it's always changing. Ha! I would definitely recommend a crystal necklace. They seriously go with everything! C.O. Bigelow has some other great products if you ever need any advice on what to try!
