You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion.”
— Christian Dior
So, I’m obsessed with the color black. Most of my wardrobe consists of black; black leggings, shirts, skirts, dresses, pants, underwear. I mean, it really is a flattering color on everyone. It hides imperfections, makes everything look super clean, a little edgy and always chic.
That being said.
THIS LOOK.
Total day to night.
Keep it super low key during the day. The dress alone, or paired nicely with a cardigan, blazer and even some fun tights.
I have worn it to work before and it worked like a charm; the perfect combo of stylish yet work professional. Do any of you ever struggle to get that trendy but appropriate clothing for work? Because I am so petite I always go through hell trying to find pants that will fit me in length and around my hips and waist. I am so sick of having to alter my clothes!
Petite ladies…suggestions?
Sorry for the rant. Back to the look.
VELVET is very on trend right now. Last month I was looking for a dress for a friend’s Christmas party and I had given up all hope on finding an outfit. We went to several places and could not find a thing! Finally, right when we were walking out of H&M my girlfriend saw this dress hanging by the door. I took the first one off the rack, went to the fitting room and found that it fit like a glove!
How lucky am I?!
I usually find the sizes at H&M to be a little….off. One day I will go in and be one size, the next day it will be something different. Thankfully the first dress I found worked out.
The bangles are my favorite part of this look. I bought the bangle set in India 4 years ago and have not been able to find anything similar in the states. Indian jewelry is so vibrant, chunky and fun!
If I had to pick a ride or die accessory it would definitely be some type of bracelet. I want my whole arm lined/stacked with them. One bracelet can make a different in the whole outfit. Also, I feel naked without them!
Leather Jacket: A black leather jacket screams nightwear to me. I bought this jacket from BeBe about 7 years ago and it’s still in amazing shape!
Granted, these days I am on more of a vegan leather kick than anything real, but wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
The addition of the jacket, bare legs and the choker takes the look to a whole new level.
I did a club night with “the night look.” It looked amazing and more importantly I felt great!
I think this will be one of those “go-to outfits” for when I am in a pinch and have nothing to wear!
Do you have any outfits that you turn to on the regular? A favorite color?
Happy Wednesday babes!
