Daily Fashion Tip — Three Alternatives to the LBD (Little Black Dress)
We all know how MAY JAH the LBD is. It is the most timeless piece in any woman’s wardrobe. And yes, you should have at least one. This post is not going to tell you anything different. But sometimes having a pop of color doesn’t hurt either. If you have had a bad week, tossing on an LBD can be a little well, morbid. So having a staple like one of these in your closet is going to be just the perfect pick me up. And these little numbers, are classic in themselves. Not too trendy, not too dated, just like your LBD. Lasting forever.
This one I love, I love, I love. You can’t help but fall in love with this flattering knotted detail that makes this little dress SO interesting. I love the waisted draping that will flatter any figure, and this one shoulder cap sleeve. And being sleeveless you can take this out in higher temps, but it’s made of wool, so throw a cover over it and you’ve got a very pretty winter cocktail dress. There is nothing not to love about this gorgeous dress from Active Endeavors.
Another great twist to the LBD is one in a deep purple. Here you have the
Pencey Trapeze Dress
. You will not be able to resist the swingy style of this well-tailored trapeze dress. Mid-weight stretch-cotton dress with banding and cutout detail at wide neckline On-seam pockets at hip and 3″ slit at cuffs and pretty elbow-length sleeves. Tailored and sexy all at the same time.
How ‘bout a bright blue as a colored alternative to the LBD. This
Dessous by Sophie Simmons Vivianne Dress
exudes feminine elegance with a decidedly modern vibe. You will adore the satin bodice and satin banding at bottom hem. Pleating at front and back and keyhole at back. Tie at keyhole with adjustable straps as well so that you aren’t tugging all night long. Satin is just one fabric that will never go out of style, and hey, it feels so lush, you deserve it, go for it.
Are these too short for you? Some women just can’t do the mini-mini. A pair of cropped tights will look great with any of these. Or how bout making these a tunic dress and go a little casual. Some dark straight legged jeans and heels will pull these looks out beautifully.
