I recently purchased my first little black dress in years. I love colour so monochrome is not exactly something I look out for. But then I thought everyone needs that little black dress right. I went on a search. My criteria for my LBD were
1. Simple, too many details mean you can't wear it over and over again, you will be found out and i wont bail you out when fashion police will puts you in custody.
2. Short ish, I wanted a cocktail dress but then I did think of a midi dress so I could wear it to work too but for this purchase I went short.
3. Versatile. Something you can wear on its own also wear with a blazer, a Cardi or a simple change of shoes will change the dress.
4. Fabric. I went for a dressy fabric, not casual material like jersey. It is easy to dress down a dressy fabric dress but very difficult to dress up jersey material.
Below are some of my favourite steals from Miss guided, pretty little thing and boohoo

For those who want to splurge, Saint Laurent and Mcqueen beauties just do it for me. Not so simple but definitely show stoppers

Trolling blogs for the last 2 hours and people are killing it with the little black dress. I am particularly feeling the leather looks and who thought of wearing the little black dress with boots , genius!!! Wear with strappy sandals, court shoes, flats and everytime you have a different look. Please enjoy and come back soon, I will be updating weekly from now on ??
