LET’S TALK ABOUT A PERFECT “LBD” (little black dress)

I’ve been on the look out for the “perfect” LBD for what seems like FOREVER. But what qualities count as “perfect” in my book may not make the list in others, that may be the reason it’s taken me so long.

What makes the “perfect” LBD in my book?

LBD-4

*It has to be versatile.

*Easy to throw on just by itself and ready for a lunch or dinner date.

LBD-12

*Able to layer over leggings and worn with sneakers for a fun casual look.

LBD-5

*Or layer over denim for a funky look.

LBD-7

(pairing it silver heels)

LBD-10

(or gold)

LBD-11

*Made with sleeves because I just prefer that and not too short.

LBD-13

I do believe I finally found the “perfect” LBD.  And guess where it came from?  Ha, Target!  Which I should probably add, it makes for the best cost efficient LBD around.

(outfit details: dress, silver heels and floral sneakers-target: black flats-anthropologie: gold heels-banana republic (old), denim jacket and gold sweatshirt-jcrew)

What makes the “perfect” LBD in your book?

Linking up with Patti for visible Monday, Cherie for shoe and tell, Catherine for #iwillwearwhatilike, and Dawn Lucy for Fun Fashion Friday

    My LBD has to be fitted, although I see all the advantages of the one you have. You demonstrated its versatility very well. All outfits look good. The second and last (with the yellow clutch) has my preference, but I also like the one with the gold necklace over jeans.

    I love all the ways you’ve styled this. Especially over the jeans.

    I bought a “new” vintage LBD from the Toronto Vintage Clothing Show that I’m going to have on the blog this week. It is so cool, but very fitted.

    bisous

    Favorite look EVER!
    I love this dress and how you styled it. Love it with the denim jacket, and yellow bag, as a dress, over leggings and over denim, and layered under something else! Now that is a dress that gets applause, and you for making it look so fantastic!
