“The Little Black Dress”

First and foremost, Happy New Year! Now that we’ve decluttered, washed, gotten ourselves organized, what better time to assess what we have in our closets! We are kicking off the new year with “Staple Pieces!” Staple pieces are those key pieces that make or break a look, and also the pieces that accommodate just about any occasion! You see the title, our first staple piece is one of my absolute favorites, the little black dress (if you know me you know black is my favorite color). The little black dress has been around for decades and it’s a piece that every woman should have! We can thank Coco Chanel for the original little black dress (American Vogue 1926). The idea behind the little dress was something that was not only fashionable, but also affordable. Your little black dress, despite the cost, is something you can slip on and feel like a million bucks. Coco Chanel intended for the little black dress to be versatile, long lasting, affordable and accessible to everyone. The good news is you can find a little black dress just about ANY where. Whether you are shopping at Zara and H&M or Saks and Nieman Marcus, the options are endless. How about a girl’s night out (which is where I donned the little black dress I’m featuring :-). Dinner date solo or with somebody’s handsome son, a “Little Black Dress,” themed girls’ night, or your favorite play/concert, trust me, that black dress is the one! Here’s to a very Happy and Stylish New Year!
