LBD: The Little Black Dress and why you must own one!

An interesting tidbit: Did you know that Truman Capote is credited with popularizing the little black dress in the 60’s? In 1966, he threw the “Black and White Ball.” The dress code was as simple as the title and exceptions were not made. A standard for the perfect black dress was set and designers have recreated it constantly since.

That being said why do you need at least one of these dresses in your closet?

1. Black is flattering for all sizes, shapes and skin tones. No matter who you are there is a LBD out there for you! Take the time to find one that makes you feel great and fits you properly.

2. You can wear black any time, during any season and to most events. The LBD is chic, classic and sexy all rolled into one. It’s the perfect dress to be worn for a night out on the town or as a cover up at the beach.

3. You can wear this dress a dozen different ways. Jazz it up for evening with a beautiful beaded bolero or tone it down with flats and a wrist full of bangles. If you would like to wear it to work layer a cardigan sweater or blazer for a more refined look.

4. Last but not least: one of these dresses is never enough. Have a few versions on hand that can work with the rest of your wardrobe.
