The Little Black Dress



After all these post I realize I didn't do a LBD. The Little Black Dress is a staple we all must have in our closet. Actually in my closet I have 5 and that's because I can mix and match them up with almost everything.  You can put a blazer, a belt, sweater, acessories, pins, shawls etc... the list goes on and on. So today I wanted to construct an outfit with that in mind.

With the Black Dress I went for the Black Power Sleeve Dress from Dorothy Perkins. It has a key hole on the back to show of the curves.

For the shoes I went with a Liliana Bardor Ruffle Pump from Urban Original. It features ruffle design front strap and trim back. Low platform d'orsay style with stiletto heel. Finished with cushioned footbed.

For the jacket, I went with MOCKNECK BELL COAT from Alloy. It has a button closure and three-quarter bell sleeves. Slit pockets at front. Hits at waist. Very sexy, leave it on or take it off.

The bag, I wanted something to match the shoes and if you have a suede ruffle bag by all means! But we don't have to follow the rules all the time, so I thought with so much red I can add a black ruffle bag. The Ruffle Clutch from The Limited is a perfect touch.

The necklace, I did a Chancellor Bib Necklace from Forever 21. It features a satin grosgrain self-tie neck strap, a soft backing behind the bib, and a metallic-threaded trim. The necklace adds a touch of BAM to the dress.

For the earrings, I went with a flower just to show whoever who whispers in your ear how sweet you are. The Rose Earring Set from Forever 21 also comes with gold earrings and faux pearl studs in the set.

I would say add a mixture of rings, but I chose one here that I love, and its the Jewel Button Ring from Forever 21 also.
