STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: The Good Ol' Little Black Dress

June 3rd, 2015 at 2:00am

Throughout time, there has been a continuous and dependable piece every Fashionista should have: the LBD (AKA: little black dress). Dressing it up, dressing it down—the LBD can handle it all. The styles of the garment may evolve as trends do but ultimately, a good LBD can last a lifetime. The right dress is flattering and adaptable to many situations; the material and fit are flexible to whatever occasion you see adequate. Some may think that it’s over done but with trends in the fashion world fluctuating as they do (meaning all the time), the LBD is basically the chameleon of clothes. The amount of options one has with the LBD are endless, it has the ability to blend in or adapt itself into any outfit. No matter the occasion, the little black dress is always the right answer.

This Fashionista is rocking a baby doll-cami LBD on a casual spring evening. The dress itself can be used in a multitude of looks but in this case it’s been expertly paired with a crop denim jacket, a classic Goodwill find and a creamy pink bralette barely peaks out, adding a touch of femininity. She paired short and long chained necklaces with a boyfriend style rose gold Fossil watch. The watch creates variety in a outfit made up of many thin and lightweight pieces with it’s bold and chunky design. Lastly, she’s wearing a pair of timeless white high-top Converse. This look could easily be altered to be worn with a pair of strappy gladiator sandals and a sun hat or wedges and a blazer—that’s the versatility of the little black dress.
