How to Style a Black Dress

There’s nothing better than a LBD.  Everyone needs to have a little black dress in their closet…or many of them!  And why are they so great?  Well they look fantastic alone – a LBD is one of the most classic things you can wear.  But they are also very versatile.  Add a different pair of shoes, a belt, a jacket or accessories and you can change the whole look.  Below are some examples.

I start out with the cutest, basic black dress.  This has a flattering style with the added extra of lovely swiss dots on the dress.

The dress stands alone on it’s own with some strappy black shoes and a cute bag.  But the looks changes just by changing the shoes from black to red.

While the looks above are great for dinner and drinks, you can also make this work-ready by adding a blazer, necklace and closed-toe heels.

And for chiller temps, add a cozy cardigan, belt and boots.  Remember that you can always switch out the belt, or add a belt, to any dress.  It really changes the look, and enhances your waist.

Camo Fever

Have ya’ll jumped on the camo trend?  I have and I am loving it.  When it comes to camo I think a little goes a long way!  After all, you don’t want to look like your about to go hunting!!  An outfit can look great with just a pop of camo.  I just got the cutest camo jacket.  Shaped like a jean jacket but in green camo print, I looks adorable with jeans or other casual outfits.

I also love camo pants.  I recently purchased two pairs (I know, I can’t help myself) – one in the green camo print and one in black/grey.  I seriously love them both!  So what to wear with them?  My fav combination is camo and stripes.  These two patterns just look so cute when paired and what an easy way to throw together a weekend outfit!    Camo also looks great paired with black, white, and other neutrals, and it also works with bold neons and even soft pastels.  And I love the green camo print with red accents!

Another way to incorporate camo that is inexpensive and adds just a pop,  is with a simple t-shirt, or camo print sneakers.  You can add these simple additions to your closet to get in on this cute trend without going overboard!
