Pairings: Little Black Dress

Hey lovelies! So, as we all know, every girl needs an LBD: Little Black Dress. Today, I'm gonna show you how I take a simple little black dress from casual to classy.

So, say you're going for a movie, or a day out with your friends, and you want a casual and cute outfit. Here, you can see that I paired this dress with a varsity jacket to give it more of a casual, relaxed feel. For a pop of colour and fun, I added red converse high tops to pair with this outfit; who said you couldn't pair dresses with sneakers? Then, to finish off the outfit, I added a red and black SnapBack to bring out the red shoes. Now no one said you had to match your lip color to your outfit, but I wanted to further bring out the red in the outfit as the statement colour by choosing a red lipstick. Of course, I don't wear lipstick out so I'd personally go with a tinted lip balm, like the REVLON lip butters for example, which I'm obsessed with haha.

Ok, so, you've had a fun day out with your friends, and now you're going to a formal dinner at a nice restaurant with your family , or you just have a formal occasion to attend. In this case, we're going for a more sophisticated and chic look, so I switched the jacket for this blazer, which has a nude pink peeking out of the sleeves. I wanted to bring that out in the shoes by pairing it with nude heels with a pink undertone. As for accessories, I personally didn't want too go overboard, so I went for a simple yet elegant silver bib necklace which finishes off the outfit.

So, the little black dress is a definite essential in every girl's closet and there are so many ways to wear it :) That's all for today, hope you guys enjoyed this post, love you all xx
