Say hello to my little black dress. This exact dress. Why this dress? Well, it's V neck, sleeveless, fitted, year round wool, pockets, lined and just at the knee. So what does all this mean? The fabric and style means I can wear it year round in Florida comfortably. I can layer a shirt under it, wear a cardigan with it. Almost all occasion appropriate. The fit is amazing. It stands on it's own, needing very little accessories. Or you can wear it however you want. This dress is a blank canvas. The woman will be noticed instead of the dress. The dress is very basic as a staple should be. Which is why I love it. So what is your perfect black dress? It doesn't have to be black even. Navy is great too. Work with your skin tone. It should be perfect for you. How would you like it to fit, what occasions would you wear it, is it year round versatile, looks good worn with flats, heels, boots? Make it earn it's keep in your closet (as all your staples should).
This dress is the Bridget by JCrew (btw). Oh, and as a side note, I've found that many of JCrew's dresses are made with pockets. Who doesn't love that!
