The original little black dress first appeared in Vogue during the 1920’s. Since then this iconic fashion piece has been made even more famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 60’s. The reason that we are still in love with our little black dresses is because they are timeless and essential. Every woman has a least one, and it serves more purposes than any other wardrobe piece, with the exception of those jeans that fit perfectly. Since the little black dress has so many functions, we thought we would give you our top 5 favorite ways to spice up your little black dress in 2012.
Add a neon scarf
We love the idea of taking a simple neon scarf and paring it with your classic little black dress. The color in the scarf will breathe some life and youth into your look. We suggest trying this in spring time, for a casual evening dinner.
Pair it with show stopping heels
Nothing does the little black dress justice like a stunning sky high pair of heels. Since the dress is plain black, feel free to go a little wide. Drag out that sexy pair you splurged on but haven’t had the chance to wear. This look is perfect for date night.
Make it work for winter by adding a chunky sweater
In the colder months we suggest wearing a gray chunky sweater over your little black dress. Finish off your look by adding a wide black belt to cinch your waist, pair with silver accessories and your little black dress is ready to brave the chilly weather.
Add a shawl
The shawl is perfect for weddings or religious ceremonies and adds a lady like touch to your little black dress. It’s also great for unpredictable weather; you know the days that start off chilly but end with balmy heat.
Go rocker chic
The little black dress is the perfect platform to build a rocker chic look on. Start by adding a leather jacket and skull printed leggings. Finish off your look with sexy tousled hair, silver spiked heels and perhaps a cocktail for confidence and you’re good to go.
