Little Black Dress

You. Guys. I think I have figured out the formula for a perfect date night (or Valentine’s Day) look.  Wrap coat + little dress (in this case a lace little black dress) + pointy toe pumps + red lip + leopard = fool proof look.  I am just in love with this LBD that I picked up at a Banana Republic Factory store.  It was on clearance and when I tried it on I knew I had to have.  I dress pretty conservatively, mostly because I’m uncomfortable with certain areas of my body, so this dress required me to branch out a little.  But I think the tiny bit of “chest skin” (aka cleavage – hate that word) is okay for a date night with my husband.

Because I picked this dress up at a factory store, I couldn’t find it online, so I linked a few in the scroller below that I think are just as beautiful.

PS – It’s not too early to start planning those Valentine’s Day looks – especially if you you need to order something.

Wearing:

Lace Black Dress: Banana Republic Factory (in stores)
