Mz Savvy Style Loves Athens ~ Encore ~ The LBD

There are wardrobe staples that every girl needs in her closet ~ dark wash jeans, two button down shirts, ballet flats, nude heels, cardigans, two to three pairs of tailored pants, boyfriend jeans, two skirts, simple t-shirts for layering, classic trench coat, basic accessories, black heeled knee boots, brown riding boots, wellies, jacket or blazer, black pumps and a LBD (little black dress).  As a personal stylist the wardrobe staples are the things that I focus on first when working with a client and then build out the rest of her wardrobe around them.

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect wardrobe staples to recommend to my clients and this LBD or little black dress is one that I'd love to have in my closet!  It's fit and flare styling is flattering on anyone as is the jersey fabric it's made of, the detailing of the cutouts around the neckline and hem ads interest without being overwhelming and...it has pockets, which is always a plus in my book!  When you are looking for a little black dress look for one that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the accessories you pair with it.  In this look I styled the LBD for a night out with a cool statement necklace, a lace-up heel, a graphic clutch and of course, a red lip!
