Style: Styling The Little Out Of The LBD!: Part 2

Heya! With the weather cooling, hemlines are lengthening. And the old LBD (little Black Dress) is now the new LBD (the Long Black Dress)! The long black dress is so versatile, I own 3 different styles! This one from Forever 21 is my favourite!

I styled 10 unique looks from this dress, and this is the second post in a 3 part series. (Go here to read the first post). So as promised, here are 4 more casual looks I styled from the same new LBD from +Forever 21:


Look 4: Office Cool!:
This outfit is a perfect seasonal transition outfit! I layered a scarf and sweater, that can easily come off if the day gets hot, or if you go out for after work cocktails. It shows off how versatile the new LBD really is! And I love the colour and print of the David Jones bag. This bag is big enough to hold everything you need for a day at the office that turns into a night out. And to make sure all the layers don't look like I gained 5 pounds, I added a fun whimsical belt from Aldo, that will show off any figure.

Look 5: Hippie Chick!:
I found this amazing (and purple) sleeved poncho in a local second hand store, and fell in love! It is so soft and comfortable. I played up the nature themed patterns with a Mary Frances purse, flower sunglasses from Aldo, a feather headband, and a feather necklace from H&M. And keeping with the bright colours and patterns, I wore flats from Sirens that tie at the ankle! I love how all the crazy patterns, motifs, and colours all work together!

Look 6: Hipster Chic!:
With the weather turning cool, a tuque and a scarf are great trendy accessories to add to the LBD. I got this fantastic scarf on a trip to Europe, and the purple tuque from Ardene. And to keep the outfit fun, I added fabulous toe socks, a friend brought me back from Japan, and a great Dakine bag. And to keep the cold out and cool in I layered an old denim jacket and wore boots from Urban Planet.

Look 7: Have Denim, Will Travel!:
I love the look of a denim vest! You can layer it over virtually anything and change the whole look and feel of an outfit! I got this one from Urban Planet. I like the distressed and pattern fabric details. I added some great shoes I got in Germany, that are so super comfortable, an Alviero Martini purse, I picked up on a trip to Italy, and my favourite time piece necklace and a bracelet I got on a trip to Mexico. And of course, some fun patterned sunglasses from Sirens. I am ready to travel anywhere in this outfit, whether it be to Europe or the local Farmers Market.

Have a favourite look? I would love to hear from you!


And P.s!: I used many of the same accessories to style the 10 different looks. Just changing only a few key elements in an outfit can change the whole style of an outfit!
