A Dress A Day: Little Black Dress (Day 6)

Little Black Lace Dress (only $88 and in 9 colors! These 2 colors are on sale for $54, coral one is here and hunter green here.) | Purple Bow Pumps (old, love these) | Purple School Bag (16 colors and I also own the palm print!) | Lavender Earrings | Tortoise Sunglasses | White Cocktail Ring | Lipstick in ‘Bawse’

You guyssss, I cannot believe this little black dress is only $88! Had to get that out of the way first. I love the way it fits and that price point is unbeatable. As part of this A Dress A Day series, I really wanted to share affordable options that could be worn to multiple events this summer. This little fit and flare dress is no exception. Whether you want to wear it to a wedding, to work underneath a blazer, or out on date night, it is perfection. 

If you’re not looking to add black to your wardrobe because we are going into summer, I get that. I found the same dress in 9 colors! I’m not sure why they were showing up on different pages (so weird) so I put all the colors in the widget below. I’m such a visual person that I like to look through every shade so I figured this might help some of you if you’re like me!

If you are open to the idea of black though, I’m showing you how you can style black for spring and summer here. By bringing in a couple of bright pops of color, it makes this outfit still feel vibrant. If you swapped your bag for a darker shade or even black, this outfit would be perfectly appropriate for fall. I also think that with a classic black pump, one of my fave work bags from this post, and a khaki trench coat, this dress could be really cute come October too.

On Instagram, I’ve been trying to share my daily work OOTDs. So many of you have requested more inspiration for office appropriate looks and I feel like that’s a really easy way to do it! Some of the things I post are old but I always show y’all how to recreate it with very similar pieces. You can shop everything I mention or am wearing here on my Instagram Story page. 2 weeks ago I shared how to wear a dress as a skirt. It’s a really easy way to switch up your look. All you have to do is layer a thicker shirt or a sweater over a dress. It works better if that top is a little cropped, especially if you’re pairing with a fit and flare like this dress, but you can always roll it under/up if it looks like it’s hitting you at a weird spot. I feel like I could do the same with this dress. Maybe layer a white sweater or a striped black and white knit over it with that trench coat I mentioned?

While I was rounding up all 9 colors of this dress, I found a few more pretty lace dresses! I totally fell in love with this off the shoulder one and it’s currently in my cart. I feel like the blue color would also be great for a winery wedding or a trip to Mexico! I realize those are 2 totally different settings, dare I say opposite. But I feel like bold colors always remind me of Mexico and if you wear some nude sandals, the blue would look so cute with vineyards in the background!
