LBD: Snow Day

 

I should have known full well when I headed into work last week as it started snowing that I was making a wrong decision. Actually, after about the first hour in the car (of a drive that usually takes 20 min) I said out loud, "this was a bad idea". In Texas, a couple inches of snow effectively shuts us all down so I was stuck in the office for quite a few hours while I waited for my hero boyfriend to come save me.

 

Little did I know that my black on black on black outfit would work perfectly for playing in the snow when we finally made it home. It looks pretty graceful, but I on the other hand am not. I almost fell on the way into the office and then again trying to get into the truck to go home. Just not very lady like at all.

 

Its a little hard to see, but What I have on here is a Jessica London black dress, Torrid leggings, Torrid belt you've no doubt seen on this blog before and a black scarf the aforementioned hero boyfriend's mother got me for Christmas.

LBD: Lovely in Lace

The LBD. No, it isn't scandalous slang used on Craigslist. Oh, you knew that? I wont mention how long it took me to figure out what LBD (little black dress) meant the first time I saw it. I'm actually a little embarrassed about it.

Anyway, I have recently rediscovered the beauty of a dress! The blacker the better. Seriously though, I had taken a dress hiatus for a few years because for a while it was skirt day every day and one of those days I tripped and somehow caught my heel on my skirt pulling it down in front of the entire college campus. Who. Does. That? Ohhh the shame is real in this post! I have to stop before I have to go to a therapist.

Today's version is a sweet little sweater dress (size 24) by Jessica Simpson that I wear to the office often. I'll mix it up with optional tights, scarves and belts. I left those out today so you could see the details on the dress. As you can see, it hits me right about at my knees, so if you're tall- be careful, it could get extra sassy. The natural waist is fantastic, but be-warned apple shaped girls, it cuts in quite a bit so if you carry weight in the middle, you may want to size up. The lace detail on the shoulders, neckline and back is a nice addition... of course I love it, its black and lace. It is thick, so quite warm for Fall and Winter months. It is on sale right now, and also comes in red! Links below.
