What I'm Loving Lately: A Perfect LBD

I have been on an extreme hunt for one of the most sought-after, classic pieces a woman can own- a Little Black Dress! I have been desperately seeking this closet staple, hoping to find a piece that is not only flattering, but also highly versatile too!

Well, inspired by this post from the Northeast Girl I headed to Kohl's to check out their dress selection. And what do you know? I found the holy grail of Little Black Dresses! A comfortable knit, subtle striping... it's absolute PERFECTION! I was also inspired by jewelry from J.R. Dunn that gives your look the perfect pizzaz! Here are two of the hundreds of ways I plan to style my find:

An Executive Presentation:

In my corporate life I often find myself having to make executive presentations. Since I am not a girl who enjoys “power suits” a powerful LBD is my go-to foundation piece for my work look. Adding a classic pearl set and timeless watch says, “I got this- you’re about to watch me shine!”

Party Perfect

Just because the holidays are over doesn't mean the parties have ended! Now that January is upon us it seems my social calendar is continuing to burst at the seams with birthday parties, engagement celebrations, and bridal showers. But what does one wear when it's still winter outside but the holidays are over?! My answer is bows + tulle of course!

Thanks to my stylish mamma, this adorable bow blouse is now a part of my closet and the perfect party shirt! Nothing says "celebrate" like bows, bows, bows! Tucking it into tulle, and belting it with yet another bow made me literally put on my dancin' shoes :) I am ready for cocktails with my girlfriends and the after-party night out. What is your party perfect outfit?
