Little black dress : Outfit of the Day

 

As we approach the party season, no wardrobe is complete without a “little black dress” (or a LBD).

Outfit of the day: Little black dress

The Little Black Dress (LBD) never goes out of fashion and is the simplest, most foolproof way to select your outfit whether you’re going to a semi-formal, formal event or a night on the town!

The simplicity of the colour palette enables you to experiment with glamorous fabrics, such as lace, mesh, silk and crushed velvet, as well as with the cut of the outfit from sexy side-slits to elegant long dresses. And if all this isn’t enough to tempt you to try this look it’s also very slimming!

  5. I have never been an LBD kind of gal, I have no more than 5 pieces of black in my wardrobe. However, this year I have been thinking about getting myself an LBD and I think you just convinced me…thank you ?

      Thank you Lacey. I think I’m the opposite – my wardrobe has a great deal of black in it! I do love an LBD though! Let me know if you buy one 🙂
