LBD

LBD or the Little Black Dress is an iconic wardrobe staple. Here are some little (and not so little) black dress options

As I have gotten older, my Little Black Dress has gotten, well, bigger. But that doesn’t mean less chic. Originated in 1926 by Coco Chanel, the LBD has taken on many iterations over the years, but one thing is universal. It remains a closet staple, a no-brainer for when you want to feel chic and confident. So if you have something formal circled on your calendar, be it black tie, the more confusing black tie optional, or something with a festively chic cocktail vibe, give your usual LBD a much needed rest, and don one of these lovlies:
