Happy Monday, friends.
I've been wanting to do a post series for awhile about styling a Little Black Dress (LBD). I have 2 LBDs that I don't often wear because I have a hard time styling. However, I really want to challenge myself to wear my LBDs in new and interesting ways.
So, here is my first LBD outfit. I wore this to church so I wanted it to be slightly dressy but still comfortable and cool. (It can get kind of warm.)
Dress: Target (similar, similar)
Cardigan: Target
Necklace: Borrowed
Flats: Misbehave (gift from sister)
Tan: L'oreal Sublime Bronze ;)
I loved the idea of peach and aqua. Obvi, I kind of have an obsession with it. Heh. So, I opted to pair this aqua cardigan with peach shoes instead of the normal teal flats I wear it with. I am quite pleased by the results.
On a more random note: I think I'm (fake) tanorexic.
And on another even more random note: I DID take pictures with me facing the camera but none of them looked right. I took this early in the morning before church and by the looks of my face and eyes I hadn't QUITE woken up yet. ;)

very cute!
ReplyDeleteA little black dress always seemed like a great staple piece, but a little hard to style sometimes, like you said! I love the colored cardigan over the top of it. Super adorable and makes it great for summer. I've been on the hunt for the perfect LBD. Still hunting though!
