How to Accessorize a Little Black Dress

Feeling the love for this set?  Here’s more information about it.


Every woman has a Little Black Dress…or two, or ten.  And they’re great as a go-to outfit for cocktails, dinner parties, and other evening events.  But how many times do you really get to wear your LBD?  If you’re anything like us, it’s not very often.  So let’s get some extra mileage out of our LBDs during the daytime with some clever accessorizing.  Here’s how to accessorize a LBD:

Why does this outfit work?

Visual Interest through Pattern: Both the gingham scarf and the newsprint belt add visual texture to the LBD.  And since the two patterns are in the same color scheme, they complement one another rather than compete with one another.

A Splash of Bright Color: All work and no play make Jack a dull boy–and all black and white and no color can make for a dull outfit.  So we added a splash of bright color for a jolt of energy.  We love bright green as a fresh foil for black and white–but any bright color will do.  Try royal purple for a distinctly elegant look.

A Touch of Mystery: Finish off the outfit with a pair of oversized shades.  The air of mystery the sunglasses creates is a secret ingredient for standout style.
