Simple Ways To Jazz Up Your Little Black Dress

Every girl has at least one little black dress stashed in their closet. The LBD is one of the most classic wardrobe staples for every woman and is definitely the go-to dress for any occasion. But, how can you turn a boring black dress from drab to fab?

Here are a few tips...

Jewelry
Big, chunky, necklaces. Bib necklaces, fringe necklaces, diamond necklaces, long necklaces, whatever style you choose, make sure it makes a statement! Not a necklace person? Try stacking cocktail rings to give your look a little edge.

Layers
A white or coral blazer will add color contrast, while still looking cool and casual. Also, try a slouchy sequin cardigan, just to add a bit of sparkle. (I love this look!)

Tights
This is probably one of the most surefire ways to sex up your little black dress. There are so many patterns to choose from, like animal prints, lace tights, velvet tights, or metallic colors. It's fun to play with different patterns. Plus, tights are cheap, so you can mix and match as many times as you want with your little black dress.

Platforms
If you really want to add some pizzazz to your dress, funky platforms are a must. The possibilities are endless with this one, feel free to get a little crazy with your shoes. Pairing a bright colored platform with your dress gives a hint of cool, sophisticated glamour, without being over-the-top. Any where you can add a punch of color, it turns a simple outfit into a noteworthy look.
