Meet Linda. She is a reader and recently wrote in asking me about style advice regarding this little black dress:
“Hello! My name is Linda and I was wondering if you could help me with a bit of a problem. I have this jumper I recently bought and now, I don’t know what to do with it. Any ideas? I’ve attached a photo of me in the dress. Please reply; I need your help! Thank you, Christine!”
Happy to help, Linda! To start, I poked around the web and came up with two options on how to style this dress. My main goal was to come up with things that one might find hanging in their very own closet. And, my second goal was, I wanted to be able to remix the dress itself, a couple different ways—one dressier, one more casual. The items that I picked are pretty basic pieces and can be found at most stores like Forever 21, H&M, Target etc. For shoe options, check Payless or Steve Madden.
After picking the above items, I became so inspired by this project that I found a similar black jumper in my closet and tried to use alike pieces from my own wardrobe to copy the two options above!
So, dear readers, how would you style this little black dress?

this past weekend i ventured out to wine country but had to make the uber important stop at target on the way back (obvi). i picked up a cute (inexpensive) pair of sandals that are pretty much your sandal’s twin! who knew… they must have been separated at birth! http://www.target.com/Merona-Eleora-Flat-Sandals-Patent/dp/B001OM5UJE/qid=1248707069/ref=br_1_9/175-7280341-1386654?ie=UTF8&node=3429501&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1

I love this dress! I would add a nice bright belt with matching shoes to make the outfit a little brighter!

Oooh! I love it! (:
Hmm, I think I’d use a sheer cream colored scarf for the first instead of a necklace, maybe? Just to make it a bit more dressy. And a cream colored ring, kinda like yours. :D
And for the second, maybe add a belt to match the sandals. But use a brighter color so it looks like it’s an everyday outfit. (:

For a casula look I would add a red belt, and some cute red flats- also some jewelry, mostly necklaces
For a more fressy look I would pair it will blue or white heels and a white belt with a nice funky design
