Whether it’s the holiday season or back-to-work season, there is always someplace we need to be and socialize in. Every week a new event to attend and every week more fashion boundaries to break (if that’s what you like). While a lot of you don’t care about what you will wear, this is for those of you who do. Moreover, we are not all born with a gold spoon in our mouth, so, here are some ways you can save up by wearing your LBD (Little Black Dress) in 5 different ways. Ladies, are you ready to save some cash and look fabulous at the same time? Let’s get started.

5 Ways That You Can Wear Your LBD and Look Fabulous

1. Glitter the LBD

Since some of us are still hanging on to holiday season, let’s begin with a little glitter. OR a lot of it, it really depends on the occasion and how much you like to sparkle. You can never go wrong with glitter but it doesn’t always have to be on the clothes, this time try using sparkly accessories. Wear a sequin blazer on top and pair it up with glittery ankle boots. If it’s a more formal event wear a big statement piece as a necklace, the way Lady Gaga did on the Oscars. Obviously, Tiffany’s might be much for some of us, but artificial jewelry is just as good as any. Although, you can try spicing it up with a hair accessory as well. The reason accessories and glitter rock is that they take that attention off the dress and that’s what we want right?

2. Should We Be Inspired By The Country

This might be more specific to certain types of events such as horse races. However, we are all about finding our own style, right? Cowboy hats and jackets and boots are the best way to look a little fun and different. As you wear that simple LBD, you can show character by adding a little texture. The cowboy colors complement the black perfectly if you want to be more sophisticated, then fun skip the hat and go for a jacket of the brown – neutral colors.

3. Hats, Gloves, and LBD

Hats are in literally all year long, they are the most stylish accessory humanly created, possibly by the French. Do they know fashion, or what? On the other hand, gloves seem to have gone out of style but still represent classics like Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Diana. You can experiment with the colors and styles, like wearing a fedora hat with long gloves for an elegant feel, or somewhat a “Bond Lady” feel. Or, a beanie and smaller gloves for an event that is themed casual. If you want to get a chic look just add leather. So, keep experimenting and find what styles suit you best. There is something out there for you in the hat world, I promise.

4. Layers Underneath

LBDs can be layered so easily and differently, that’s what makes them so great. Wearing a shirt underneath your LBD will remind some of the old-school movies. You can go with white and add class to the outfit, use pearls as accessories if you need to. You can also wear pumps to go with and black stockings. Altogether, this look will be very Audrey Hepburn. If you want to wear an LBF during the day time, try pairing it with a t-shirt underneath. Remember ladies, LBDs are all about having a little fun.

5. Layers on Top

Now that we discussed layering down, we can’t forget how amazing layers on top work. Wearing an oversized t-shirt over your LBD with a small belt and sneakers can never go wrong if you have to play it casually. If you want to look more Carrie Bradshaw, wear a flannel shirt on top like you would a cardigan. You can even layer it with a different dress on top which is a little smaller and add in some knee-high boots and jewelry for a street style look. As we mentioned, LBDs are fun, so play around and find out the way you like to carry it. Fashion is about representing yourself to the world, so, be your best self.

That’s all for today darlings! We hope these tricks help spice up your LBD and closet on a budget. Keep slaying and do tag us if you try any of the looks!
