The little black dress: a beloved wardrobe staple we can thank our lucky stars Coco Chanel introduced to the world’s closet. It’s always been there for us Fashionistas in times of outfit indecision, and for that I’m sure we’re all thankful. But what happens when our favorite LBD’s can start to feel a little NBD? I have one word for you: accessorize.
Don’t be afraid to mix up your standard #ootd with some fun and quirky pieces to shake things up. The right accessory can take an LBD from Serena van der Woodsen’s bohemian flair to Blair Waldorf-glam in 0.25 seconds. And who doesn’t want to tap into the style vibes of New York’s most elite? No one? Thought so.
It was hard to miss this Fashionista’s unique and, quite frankly, awesome accessory choices she paired with her black swing dress. The great thing about this look is how versatile and daring she went with her colors and patterns. Even though her collegiate oxford shoes give off a drastically different vibe from the vintage, 1970s-inspired kimono, each staple works together harmoniously. The balance between the loud print of the kimono and the earthiness of the shoes ties the look together while still pushing limits with different styles. The cherry on top? That bold statement necklace—a one-of-a-kind addition that’s utter perfection. Through the consistent boldness of each piece, the outfit reflects our Fashionista’s daring and innovative style choices, and truly shows what it means to go big or go home when it comes to accessorizing.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Accessories are a reflection of you and your personality. They’re a form of expression. It might look weird to other people, but if you dig it that’s all that matters.”
