The Best Little Black Dress You Will Ever Own

The title of today’s post is quite a claim but I stand by it! I’m sharing the best little black dress you will ever own with y’all today! This perfect little black dress is so flattering and is ideal for all occasions from holiday parties, to office functions, to date nights (honestly, I would wear this dress to a funeral too). It’s the time of year when we find ourselves reaching for more dressy outfits than usual so it’s incredibly helpful to have a knockout, classic, simple dress in your closet that you know will never fail you!

The Best Little Black Dress

This little black dress might appear fairly simple but there are so many gorgeous little details to it that make it really special. For starters, the sweet scalloped trim at the neckline and a ruffled hem add the perfect feminine touch to the black dress. The classic fit-and-flare silhouette is one of the most flattering styles out there for all body types. This textured dress also has a really comfortable amount of stretch to it so you’ll be comfortable in it all day or night long… even after eating because there is nothing worse than only having tight dressy dresses!

As I mentioned above, this is the best little black dress you will ever own because it’s ideal for the office or dressed up for evening events. Rebecca Taylor has a handful of other stunning little black dresses right now that range from beautiful holiday dresses to more casual everyday dresses…

My Outfit

J.Crew calls my coat the “lady jacket.” I just love that! Every lady needs a lady jacket! This sleek, party-ready style is so timeless but still full of fun. The fun is all in the details… think: fringy braided trim, discreet hook-and-eye closures, and an inner pocket for stashing things like headphones or your favorite lipstick. To me, this coat is just begging to be worn in a city. I think it fits right in in Charleston (did you see me wearing it today on my Instagram Story!?) but I also hear New York City calling my name! The jacket is currently 35% off so there is no better time to scoop it up for the winter and holiday season ahead!

P.S. don’t you just love tweed jackets? Have you seen the current Gal Meets Glam Collection jackets out now? I die over the colors and the bows! Sneak a peak at them here: one, two, three, four, five.

I chatted about and shared this amazing tortoise clutch in my Gift Guide for Her that went up two days ago! It is so versatile that you can wear in winter, spring, summer, and fall because tortoise goes with everything. It’s also under $100 so it’s such a style steal! My leopard pumps are five or six years old from Kate Spade but I found a few similar styles that are all pretty budget friendly. Plus, this is Kate Spade’s leopard pump this year – so cute!

P.S. you saw we wear this lovely pearl necklace in my statement sweaters for winter post. I shared more there about the adorable Charleston store it’s from!
