Wardrobe Staple: Little Black Dress

Fashion

15 Dec

Have you ever run across an item of clothing that you don’t need for any specific purpose or occasion, but you just know you should buy it? That is exactly how I came to own this little black dress. When I found it, I wasn’t shopping for a black dress, but the price was great and the fit was perfect, so I bought it. And you know what? It is the perfect little black dress! I believe a little black dress is a wardrobe staple that all women should have in their closet.

I like really like how this dress is cut. It is not tight around the midsection, which is always helpful, but it becomes more fitted around my legs at the bottom of the dress. The fitted bottom balances out the dolman sleeve and flowy midsection. For my body type, this cut is ideal. But really, who doesn’t want a bit of help in the midsection area?! I bought this last year at Nordstrom, so it is sold out, but there are some other great options that I’ve linked below.

In addition to being flattering and comfortable, this dress deserves recognition for how well it travels. I took it to Colorado for a work dinner with my husband’s company shortly after I got it, and this year it came with me to Rome. You literally can’t wrinkle the polyester fabric in your suitcase. While I will begrudgingly use a hotel room iron if I have to, I don’t like ironing at home, much less on vacation! A dress that you don’t have to fuss with is worth its weight in gold!

I wore this dress with black booties in Colorado because it was a chilly fall night, but in Rome this spring, I chose flats since they took up less space in my suitcase! We ended up walking home from the restaurant rather than taking a cab, so I was very glad I went with a comfortable flat like this one. The wrap around detailing and pointy toe make the flat look a bit dressier than a plain flat, which was good since the restaurant we chose for my birthday dinner was fancier than where we ate the rest of the week. My Stella & Dot necklace was one of the first pieces of theirs that I fell in love with, but it is long gone since that was several years ago. The seller on etsy that makes my turquoise necklace from this post also makes it in red, which is very similar to this necklace and would add the same gorgeous pop of color. It is available in many other colors as well.

I quickly changed my shoes to show how a higher heel would change the overall look. This dress would also be so cute with my favorite strappy sandal or a simple black pump. In fact, I invested in some gorgeous Kate Spade glitter peep toe pumps for a formal event last year, and paired with this dress, I would be ready for any holiday party or New Year’s Eve! Now if only I had a party to attend…
