LBD.

BLACK_5

This dress is sort of my everything. I’ve long been an admirer of A.L.C.’s sleek, contemporary designs but had never pulled the trigger on one of her pieces. And then I saw this dress. It’s all sorts of amazing. At first glance it’s just a plain short sleeved dress. Then you look at the details. The little sliver that makes it kind of like a crop top… the elastic at the waist… the details on the back {sorry I didn’t get a pic} and the high slit that reveals a bit of leg. I wore this to the Guess party during fashion week and felt fabulous – in a cool girl, understated sort of way.

    It’s super cute on you, lady! Love having that “cool girl understated” feeling – just the confidence in knowing you couldn’t have picked a better outfit and that you feel great in it!

    Love that your LBD is a bit different from the standard sleeveless option. Well done you!

    The details are amazing on this dress. The sliver is my favorite, I think. I love that it’s not fitted either – the details do all the talking! What a great piece!

    I love that this dress had just a tiny crop – so it’s very wearable and not too terribly revealing. Looks fantastic on you! xo N
