 Classic LBD

The "Must Have" Dress in the Wardrobe



    

In a quandary about what to wear out to a swanky dinner, soiree or for New Years Eve?  The answer is very simple - drum roll please.....The Little Black Dress officially known as the LBD.  The LBD was introduced by designer Coco Chanel and became made a staple in every ladies closet with Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) donning a Givenchy LBD.  Today, the LBD is a must have in every fashionistas wardrobe.  Even this fashionista is opting for a lovely LBD versus the previous red number sited in the last blog.  Why? Well, perhaps a bit too many holiday festivities this season.  The LBD is perfection on any woman divine silhouette after a month of having so much fun!

I have forgotten all the beautiful pieces that I own.  These presents signal sunshine, barbeques, laughter, reading on the deck and much more.  You know what I am discussing. Sun dresses, shorts, bathing suits and everything light and airy for hot days.  Such joy! What am I obsessed with right now?  Well, a button down blue and white striped shirt!  A definite classic piece for your wardrobe.  These sail away hues symbolize a timeless choice for work, play or used as beach cover up.   The blue and white stripe shirt is second to the ever classic white shirt.

Wear with jeans, shorts and sandals.  Add a pair of gold earrings and a swipe of a red
