Every woman should invest in a little black dress. It comes in handy, especially during holiday season, when you have dozens of events to attend, but no budget to splurge on tons of fancy frocks. All you have to do is accessorize and style your little black dress differently for each event. No one will notice you are wearing the same thing, because they’ll be focused on the bling and pops of colour. I took three of my fave LBDs and dressed them up depending on the function:
Work Party
This is your go-to dress for important work meetings, but it doesn’t mean that it can’t be glammed up for a swankier function. Add a statement shoe and sleek clutch and you’ll look like a million bucks!
Shop: Maje chiffon-paneled stretch-jersey mini dress, Kotur Espey embossed metallic box clutch, Sophia Webster Leilou Stripe leather, suede and canvas sandals
Sexy Date
He may not admit it, but your man loves it when you slip on your stillettos. You’ll get an automatic confidence boost in these Aquazzura pumps in a stunning emerald green. Your date won’t even notice that you wore that LBD last Friday night.
Shop: The Row stretch-knit mini dress, Dolce & Gabbana gold-plated Swarovski crystal necklace, Aquazzura amazon cutout suede sandals
Fancy Function
Everyone will be asking about your crystal embellished clutch, they’ll hardly pay attention to the fact that you’re wearing the dress you wore to last year’s charity ball. A pop of colour is the perfect distraction.
Shop: Halston Heritage cotton and silk-blend bell dress, Matthew Williamson embellished suede clutch, Gianvito Rossi leopard-print calf hair and PVC pumps
