Wardrobe Update: The Little Black Dress

The little black dress (LBD) became a wardrobe essential during the 1920s thanks to Coco Chanel. It  seems everyone who is anyone in the fashion business claims every girl has or should have their own black dress. But does every girl have one? To answer this question I dived into my wardrobe and found my own. My dress is a 3/4 sleeved 60s inspired design from Dorothy Perkins (Shown on the left). I believe that the black dress is a style ANYONE can pull off, one it's a slimming colour, two it can be tailored to your own individual style. One thing is for sure it is a classic style which went from a mourning to a-whatever-the-occasion dress over night, proving it's one staple style that's here to stay!
