Little Black Dress



Happy Monday! I wanted to share these photos from a couple of days ago when the weather was nice and I had the opportunity to wear my little black dress on a fun outing. Every woman has a little black dress in her wardrobe and it is so fun to get dressed up and go somewhere:-) I accented my dress with a gorgeous handmade ivory cardigan designed by the amazing Danielle Celeste of Danielle Celeste Couture.  I would like to thank Danielle Celeste for such an amazing design that I am beyond thrilled to have as a part of my wardrobe. If you want to see more of her designs or have a custom piece created, check her out by clicking here.

I like to call this look "Edgy Audrey" A classic Audrey Hepburn little black dress with a couple of edgy accessories (lace up boots and an animal print clutch) Usually when I wear a little black dress, I always opt for a very classic look with traditional pumps, but I think its fun to step outside of how you would normally wear something and try something different.  This look came together when I could not find my black pumps and needed to get dressed quickly and added the boots as a last minute decision.

I hope your week is off to a great start! I am super excited about this week because my son's birthday is Friday and I have all kinds of surprises lined up for him. I also want to encourage you to stop by in a day or two, I have a great message for you and I don't want you to miss it. It will help you in your life, so be sure to check it out.


Ivory Cardigan: Gifted by Danielle Celeste Couture, Little Black Dress: Windsor, Lace up Boots: Dereon, Leopard Clutch: Ebay, Pearl Necklace: JC Penney, Cocktail Ring: Private Boutique
I normally wouldn't wear this type of necklace with the type of neckline on this dress, but for some reason, I thought it worked this time


I love the detail on this beautiful cardigan. Such beautiful craftsmanship.





 These boots were made for walking...
 I love the femininity and softness of this gorgeous cardigan. It has such a flowiness that can be styled so many ways and the asymmetrical cut is so beautiful.



 

Have an amazing day!

    I know you will always make an outfit your own and I love all the special touches in this ones - the unique and beautiful cardigan, the edgy accessories and the eye-catching neckline. Neat that you hadn't counted on the boots, given they coordinate so well. No doubt you turned a few heads.
