30 Days of Outfit Ideas: How to Style a Little Black Dress

January 18, 2018 By: Nada Manleycomment

So I’m working on a new fashion buzzword and I’d like you guys to help me spread it, okay? I’m confident that with your help it will spread and replace the tired has-been of a fashion acronym, the LBD. It’s the CBD, and no, it’s not a new warehouse store, although it does have that ring to it. It’s stands for Comfy Black Dress, or Casual Black Dress. Not sure yet. Either way, I think it’s so much more in keeping with the current emphasis on casual lifestyles, because what we all need is a black running-around-dress, not a black going-to-parties dress. Am I right? Ok, so that came out wrong. I get invited to plenty of parties. Plenty. Just last weekend, I was jumping around in a Peppa bounce house at a birthday party like the hipster that I am. Okay, those of you who know me know this was a lie. I did not bounce, because of heels and hair and stuff. But I totally went to the party.

Anyway, my lifestyle is largely casual, with a few cherished opportunities to play dress-up, and so what I’m looking for is a day-in, day-out kind of LBD. Henceforth called the CBD.

See, it’s catching on already.

Here, lots of cute ways to wear yours!
