STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: All About That LBD

April 13th, 2015 at 2:10am

There is nothing (and do I mean there is nothing) like walking around in style in a classy dress. By classy dress, I don’t refer to any dress. That’s right; I’m talking about the little black dress (LBD), that iconic garb that anyone can pull off and look absolutely fabulous in. That’s exactly what I’m saying; you don’t “have” to be Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn who is my ultimate style icon) in Breakfast at Tiffany’s to pull off the iconic LBD. What is splendid about the LBD is that it can magically turn your college wardrobe into something fashionably awesome.

One individual (besides Audrey Hepburn, of course) who looks absolutely fantastic in a LBD is this chic Fashionista. She styled her dress with flair by adding a simple belt to accentuate her waist. By adding a sweet leather jacket, this Fashionista instantly established a cool-girl vibe. The tough look of the leather gave the feminine dress an overall grunge feel. This Fashionista looked cool in classic Ray-Ban shades that she purchased in her native country of Brazil, which just made these sunglasses cooler in my mind. Because of the awesome warm weather, this Fashionista kept her legs free of any heavy or itchy material and wore gold and brown sandals in place of anything covering her feet.

Overall, this Fashionista looks polished in her all-black attire of a LBD and leather jacket—two timeless pieces that when paired together look, without a doubt, very chic. In fact, they’re so chic that she may have replaced Audrey Hepburn as my ultimate style icon of the LBD.
