Make a splash in your little black dress

With fall weather comes a change in our fashion choices. Adding the additional stylish layers to the everyday look, the women of Madison know what’s up as we rock our sweaters, high boots, beanies and more. But even as these fall trends are coming back into our everyday looks, one number seems to respond well in every season. It’s that one best friend that every girl needs. It’s that slimming number that highlights everything we want. It’s our good friend, the little black dress. The LBD is not seasonal, it is the best friend we have all year round, whether it be fall, spring or summer it never goes out of style. This versatile look can be worn in several different ways, and it’s all about bringing your own punch to your very own LBD.

Slip this tight little number on for the first date! Not coming on too strong, but sending your image off on the perfect note. Add the additional leather jacket on top and add some fun highlighting accessories to really make this outfit stand out. Add a punch of color to the shoe — even a nice red could be perfect for the fall! Don’t forget placement of your hair though. With those low, sexy backs, try a messy ponytail, sending off the perfect fun, playful image on that first date. The LBD will not let you down, making that first impression as perfect as the dress.

Going out to brunch with the girls, the LBD can be dressed down for any occasion. The casual afternoon stroll down State Street, throw on the little black dress and top it with either a dark blue-jean jacket or an army-green parka and you’re ready to go. Add on a pair of high-top Converse or even a pair of combat boots and stroll down the street looking better than ever. There is no problem getting cute for brunch, just make sure to cap off the outfit with a nice pair of sunglasses and cute beanie to finish the outfit off nicely.

Shopping on the town and of course your little black dress is by your side. Leave the heels at home, this LBD can be worn with Converse, Vans, or even sandals. Don’t forget to layer on a warm sweater, and especially at this time of the year add on that plaid! Whip that scarf around your neck and you are good to go!

And lastly, throw on that LBD for a night on the town. Show the men what you’re really about when you slip on your little friend and pair it off with a nice black blazer. Going for all black, throw on an easy pair of pumps or wedges to show the long legs that you’re working. Don’t forget to finish the outfit with a nice lipstick. Depending on the season, go for something bright; it’s fun and flirty! You’ll be stopping eyes in no time.

The LBD, a friend never a foe — by your side all year round and never a disappointment. Wear this number on the streets during the day, and out on the town at night. It is the best friend that you don’t only want, but you need. She never lets you down and is with you through thick and thin. Cherish this little number as it follows you throughout each season. Thank you LBD, you’ve made my first 19 years truly spectacular!
