There are some things in life that are too good to live without. If you think I’m talking about French fries, then you’re not wrong—but I have something else in mind that is equally vital to sustain human life: the LBB, a.k.a, the Little Black Bootie. Nine times out of 10, I guarantee a pair of LBBs will go with whatever you are wearing, and these stylish students prove my point. From slipping them on with a dress and tights to wearing them with your most distressed of distressed jeans, the LBB will be there for you. Feel free to wear while eating fries, as well.
