April 1, 2011 Style The little black dress overhaul Not sure how to jazz up your little black dress? Here are some helpful tips on how to make your one little black dress go a long way. A little black dress is kind of like a girl’s best friend. It can always be relied on, goes well with virtually anything and never criticizes her body. But sometimes, like in any BFF relationship, without any gossip (or in this case accessories) things can get boring. In order to prevent revealing that you actually do wear the same LBD to every occasion, it is time to learn how to spice things up. And by that, I mean accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Adding a handbag or a pop of color to any outfit is a fashion “do.” To switch up your style when sporting a black dress, try wearing bold pieces of jewelry. They’ll make a statement against any black ensemble. Statement necklaces aren’t hard to come by lately. Adding one to your same old black dress will take a whole new twist on it. Turn a girly dress into an edgier look by trying on some “rocker” staples. Instantly a leather jacket can take an outfit from cute to chic. It is great for any weather and goes with many accessories. Show the world your rebellious side after stepping into some studded high heels. After accessorizing your feet, top it off with a long chain necklace to tie together the whole look. Take a look in your boyfriend’s closet for inspiration on adding a boyish touch. Putting on a bold colored blazer over a short black dress is perfect for day to night transformations. It means business on top, but with the short length it can also be sassy for going out. A tailored tuxedo jacket sends the cool vibe and shows you’re not bashful about taking fashion risks. Working off the tuxedo vibe, any touches of white will pop against a black dress. A white belt looped around mid-waist adds definition and some interest. Even a white blazer can make you feel like the girl version of James Bond. But just like friends, sometimes it’s nice to add something new to the group. If re-wearing your LBD is out of the question at this point, there are countless new styles to choose from. Victoria’s Secret offers a dress that can be worn multiple ways to create your own unique style. How could you not be repeating this dress? It’s easy to be fun and fearless in a style that is different from the usual classic silhouette. From one shouldered to sheer and satin, treat yourself to a new dress that’s stunning for any occasion.
