20 WAYS TO STYLE AN A-LINE LBD (4 SEASONS)

 Hello dear readers! As the title would imply, this post is all about styling a clothing item multiple ways. The focus of today's post is one black square neck A-line dress. I think most of us have at least one little black dress in our closet. It's one of those essential pieces. I have quite a few little black dresses in my closet and I always seem to be getting new ones. They are truly a wardrobe essential and an item you can easily build your outfits on. Today I'm sharing two outfits I have worn recently featuring this LBD . Moreover, in this post I'll also be sharing different ways I've worn this little black dress in the past. I've had a lot of fun wearing this dress so far. That's my favourite thing about clothes, creating stories with them. 

 I have actually worn this little black dress twice last week.  It was rocking this dress again that made me realize that I'm probably close to 30 wear with this particular item or even possibly over that number. Speaking of that, the thirty ways challenge is really a great way to turn yourself into a sustainable fashionista. I don't photograph all of my outfits, so it is possible I'm over 30 wears with this particular dress. For example, I distinctly remember wearing it to a work dinner, but I didn't share those photographs.  What I do know for sure is that I have worn it more than twenty times as there is photographed evidence of that here on this little place to call my own. 

SUMMER TO AUTUMN STYLING IDEAS- TWO OUTFITS I WORE LAST WEEK

OUTFIT NUMBER #1- LBD STYLED WITH GOLD ACCESSORIES 

This was my date night outfit. I paired this dress with black high heels, a pair of black tights and a mini black bag. I accessorized with a golden accessories: a belt, a pair of earrings and a necklace. Gold and black is a lovely colour combo, don't you agree? 

OUTFIT NUMBER #2 LBD LAYERED WITH A BLACK SHIRT AND LEGGINGS

Below is an outfit I wore for a lunch date yesterday. This was actually my work outfit. It was raining yesterday so I layered this dress with black leggings, boots and a shirt. I wore my one of the kind  sailor bag because I needed a bag I can find all my books in.  I call it a sailor bag because it makes me think of sails on a sailing boat. 

LOOKS LIKE I'VE FINALLY FOUND A DRESS THAT CAN BE WORN FOR ALL FOUR SEASONS!

Don't you just love a dress that can be worn for all four seasons? What is also interesting about this particular dress is that I have illustrated it multiple times! Yes, this dress inspired a couple of my fashion illustrations.

I typically still opt for boots, either ankle ones or high ones. Naturally, if the weather is warmer I might wear a nice pair of heels or stilettos.
