Hello Fall Fashion

The LBD

The Little Black Dress, ahhh there's nothing better than the LBD for any season. Dress it up or dress it down and casual, it works for just about any occasion and it's the perfect go-to piece to look polished and put together. Classy yet comfortable, this ensemble is great for the sudden chilly weather CT is facing.

Around this time of the year in New England is the beginning season of Autumn weather. The warm weather is slowly fading away and the cool weather is approaching us. So as we wear our last pair of shorts, skirts and short sleeved tops, we feel the last breezes against our bare skin. 'Tis the season to wear and share the last of our exposed arms and legs. 

I remember when I was very little, about 5 or 6, I was a lover of all dresses. I'm pretty sure I owned only one pair of pants. Dresses were so easy, cute, and colorful for my 5 year old self. And 11 years later, I still completely agree. 

I first threw on my go-to black LBD from Forever 21, which I purchased last year during Christmas season. With a skater skirt, 3/4 length sleeves and a perfect waist-hugger dress, I have no complaints for only $8.80. I then layered over a button down denim shirt, also with quarter length sleeves so the black dress peeks out a pit. This was also purchased last season at Kohl's, very affordable and great quality. 

To accentuate my waist a tiny bit more, I added a white rope belt with tan accents. Because of the braided rope texture, this belt adds a little bit of a summer vibe, without overdoing it because this is a transition outfit. I also added on my Kenneth Cole rose gold watch, and new Unisa Pippah Bootie's in cognac which I just got Friday from DSW. Obsessed would be a complete understatement if I had to describe these pair of shoes. They were everything and more of what I was looking for in a pair of booties. Dark brown, small heel, gold buckle, and well, a bootie! 

Because of the color and size they absolutely go with everything for the fall time! I tried them on at the store with dark blue jeans, with the bottoms rolled up a bit to show off a wee bit of ankle, and the entire shoe. After that I was completely sold, walking up and down the long boot-lined isle's several times. 
DSW is really the place to go for just about any type of shoe for any season, I highly recommend that store. The boot selection this weekend was beyond incredible, from booties to riding boots to combat boots,

there's something to please everyone. And I surely could have bought another one of two pairs of boots I was also eyeing. 







And last but not least I paired this outfit with the last of my summer staples, my Forever 21 $3.80 look-a-like Ray Ban sunglasses. Lasted me all throughout the summer and for just about 4 dollars, what a bang for your buck.

So here's my take on a transition to fall LBD! You're surely see more LBD takeovers throughout all the seasons, I'll be fitting it for all occasions.
