The little black dress is still the ultimate go-to piece in every girl's wardrobe. It's a blank canvas that can be dressed up or dressed down to suit any occasion. Milena Joy, a Denver-based image consultant, recommends her clients invest in a dress that will be versatile enough to go from day to night, with a change of accessories. Here are a few of her suggestions for doing that:
• Swap out the oversized smooth-leather handbag for a patent or embellished clutch.
• Replace the casual boyfriend jacket or cardigan for a cropped tuxedo jacket.
• Take the wide scarf wrapped around your neck during the day and drop it down around your shoulders to use it as a wrap at night.
• Replace your daytime suede heels or flats with metallic, patent or colorful heels.
• Add embellished headbands and hair clips.
• Wear a faux-fur wrap or scarf for a more dramatic look.
Just aim for adding interesting accessories, so your go-to dress doesn't wind up looking boring. A little sparkle, some interesting fabric, sexy shoes, and statement jewelry can go a long way to ensure that your little black dress is the base of your look, not the sum total of it.
