Little Black Dress

2

Lately I've had thoughts of weeding my wardrobe down to just classic basics. Of course nothing is more classic and basic than a little black dress. And if you had this many bits and bobbins to change it up, who would need anything else? Not that I'm going to get rid of everything in my closet and wear one black dress for the rest of my life... but I can certainly look at this and imagine a hundred new things I can do with the little black dress that I have.

sometimes i think about doing that to! sometimes i think it would be neat to have just 10-15 articles of clothing and just rotate/create outfits with accessories ... but i am far too attached to most of my wardrobe to seriously whittle it down that much.

aww i think summer might be the season that makes girls want to throw everything they have away and start fresh with just a few key elements.
ive been dying to do the same! although all i want to wear is cotton sundresses!

I love these old fashioned photos of the lbd

The LBD is essential for every woman's wardrobe, but I think we'd get a bit bored if it was all we had.

Your blog is great by the way, and has inspired me to start my own fashion inspired blog.

Oh gosh, I'd love to have that many accessories to choose from when I'm dressing myself! The permutations are almost endless.

It does seem ideal to just have a wardrobe of classic basics but like Lexie, I'm far too attached to several things in my wardrobe! Perhaps in the future, I can be a minimalist and weed down all my belongings because I've just got too much STUFF.

What a great top photo. I don't know if I could ever weed my closet down to a few items, but I admire people who do consistently look stylish with a few important staples and accessories. wonderful LBD inspiration!

Inspiration refers to an unconscious burst of creativity in an artistic, musical, or other intellectual endeavor such as the invention of a new scientific theory.

I love LBDs...you can make the same dress completely different every time you wear it.
I will never get bored of decorating my little black dresses with accessories.
And now your photos have inspired me to buy a pair of crisp white gloves. ;)

That would be quite hard for me to do. But it would be fun to change it up with different accessories and what not. Now that I think of it, I need a LBD.

I feel the same way! I also think that a lot of the time we end up buying new outfits only to find that our closets are full of inspired looks if we put the time into it which you obviously do!
