ALL IN THE DETAILS: Not So Basic in Black

May 25th, 2016 at 2:00am

Whoever said the little black dress has to be basic? This Fashionista shows how to take your LBD from blah to BAM! All you need are some killer accessories to complement your look. Whether you’re rocking a formal black dress for your sorority event or simply sporting something casual during a trip to the mall, little details such as jewelry, handbags or sunglasses make your outfit pop—big time! I caught this Fashionista on her way to happy hour and she was dressed accordingly in her LBD and gorgeous accessories. Happy hour is the perfect place to try elevating a casual basic, like this adorable black dress, to create a nighttime look.

Besides her radiant smile, she styled her outfit with simple, but impacting accessories. This on point outfit shows that even a closet full of basics can be transformed into amazing looks with the right details. Her snakeskin sandals play up the casual, summertime vibe of the dress, yet add an interesting textural element. Gladiator sandals are a great way to give your feet a break from heels but still dress to impress! Her unique sunnies add a pop of color to the outfit and complement her sparkly body jewelry perfectly. The interesting shape of her necklace transforms her LBD from basic to ready for cocktails!

How To: Body jewelry is an easy and unique way to accessorize a basic look, whether it’s an LBD or a plain white T-shirt. If you’re not a fan of the style, you can also achieve a similar effect with a bold statement necklace or sparkly belt!
