How To Wear An LBD

December 11th, 2009

I think a little black dress is probably the easiest outfit to put together. However, there are some ways to accessorize your LBD and make it feel new this holiday season. I’ve picked one basic LBD and put together outfits using that dress to give you some ideas of how you can change up the look from party to party. The dress is from Topshop for $100 and its shape is very flattering.

One option is actually provided by Topshop. They suggest ankle boots and a leather jacket with this dress. Taylor Swift embraced the leather jacket and LBD look at a Kings of Leon concert. I found this fun pair of ankle boots from Alloy for $46.90. It’s definitely difficult to find a leather jacket for under $100. This Silence & Noise one is reasonably priced at $128.

The Little Black Dress: A Holiday Must-Have

December 10th, 2009

With all the parties and events that go on during the holidays, a versatile LBD is a great way to keep getting ready stress-free. You can probably find at least one occasion that every female celebrity has worn a little black dress. Jennifer Aniston continually bets on the LBD for events. Recently, we’ve seen Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lopez, Gabrielle Union and Katie Holmes in their own little black dresses.

For a classic look, try one of these three dresses for $100 or less. The first is egg shaped shift dress that will be very flattering. It is from Topshop and is the most expensive at $100. Another option is a chiffon dress with rosettes from Ann Taylor Loft for $89.50. It is an online exclusive. White House|Black Market has a great sale on a dress with elbow length sleeves and a surplice bodice. Originally $150, it is now only $49.99.

Banana Republic’s Silk Graphic Dress

December 6th, 2009
Banana Republic at ShopStyle

This dress is on sale for only $69.99 from $132. It’s 100% pure silk, has a black and dark gray pattern, dolman sleeves and a sash. This looks like it would be flattering on many body types and would be great for a holiday party.

Like the Banana Republic model in the additional images, I’d wear this with tights and a pair of boots. I own and love these $99 D-Ring boots by Naughty Monkey. I like the sheerness of these Henry Holland Party Tights for $24. If you need a purse, try this wristlet by Guess for only $29.50.
