Make Over Your LBD

You've just been invited to a holiday party

and have basically no time to shop.

So you grab your fave Little Black Dress from your closet

only to realize you wore it to a previous event with the same crowd!

Of course you can't pull an outfit repeat,

but how do you change the look of one piece?

Accessories!

Feminine : a splash of color never hurt!

(Purse by Vanessa $16, ring $20, necklace by Jill's Jewels $24, belt by Carlisle $28, boots by Juicy Couture size 6.5 $98, dress by Ann Taylor size 4P $32)

Edgy : animal print never goes out of style.

(Handbag by Whiting&Davis $28, bracelet by Jaclyn Anthony $35, earrings by Jill's Jewels $20, heels by Guiseppe Zanotti size 9.5 $250, dress by Parallel size 4 $36)

Classic: vintage details add unexpected uniqueness to a modern dress.

(Vintage 60's hat $22, vintage 60's purse $26, earrings by Good Girls Studio $32, bracelet by Jaclyn Anthony $28, heels by Beverly Feldman size 8.5 $110, dress by Amsale size 4 NEW $108)

Sophisticate: simple, luxe details exude elegance

(necklace by Tiffany $250, ring $38, belt by Talbots NEW $22, handbag by Prada $140, heels by YSL size 39 $220, dress by Trina Turk sizes 2 & 4 NEW $134)

Remember: the dress is your canvas and the accessories your paint.

A change in material and color use can make a huge difference!
