Beige & The Little Black Dress ...day to night


little black dress and long cardigan+oxford wing tips+black and beige outfit+cropped


black and beige and gold+outfit+oxfords+wong tips


little black dress and lace ups


What I'm Wearing ...for day
* Vintage/thrifted Adrienne Vittadini little black dress with gold/brass beads on the straps ...once seen here.
* Beige wrap sweater by Liz Lange ...thrifted and unknowingly, maternity wear. No matter ;)
* Topshop patent wing tip oxfords
* Gold D&G watch
* Ferragamo black hobo bag
* Tom Ford Anouk Sunglasses

I love this dress because it's fitted without being so skin tight that A. it's uncomfortable and B. it's too body con {too skin tight} It's rather comfy and I loved wearing it with my oxfords to work {which also take the sexiness down a few notches}

little black dress for night+beige wrap cardigan+gold and turquoise accessories+leopard bag+louboutin heels


What I'm Wearing ...for night
* Same dress and cardi, obviously
* Swapped the lace-up flats for Christian Louboutin slingbacks
* Added Amrita Singh turquoise & gold "sunset"drop earrings ...from GILT and matching Amrita Singh "Jacosta" turquoise bracelets for a bit of color
* Switched the big hobo to a small calf hair leopard print clutch from Aldo years ago ...last seen here in Vegas


While keeping the exact same dress & sweater on, I was able to change my look for evening by simply swapping accessories. Really, all I needed to bring were the shoes and the clutch because it would have looked just as well without the turquoise. But I like the color pop.


shoes and bags and accessories+tree stump


p.s. I think I liked my day look better ;)

p.s.s. While it may look like Fall in these photos ...it's been 100 degrees in SoCal all weekend ...and today. not.fun.

I think both looks are fab.. but I LOVE the day look. I agree that the oxfords brings the sexiness of the dress down. :) Happy Monday M!

Amy said...

Mmmm...love day to night looks :) Great dress; I'm looking for a simple black one as well.

Sara said...

The leopard paired with the turquoise is divine, and I am all about camel colored anything right now. I would never have guessed that your lovely cardigan was maternity wear.

Samantha said...

I love this look! The daytime version is very 'unserstated sexy' with the cardigan and flats. You look gorgeous in both!!

Haven't commented in a while. I love this. Ab.so.lute.ly. Love. People think they have to have a huge cache of clothing pieces, but really it's all about the accessories. (Okay, the cache is fun. But, not always necessary.)

This is fabulous! I always have a hard time putting together chic day to night looks... I love how you incorporated the black dress with a "brown family" item. Thanks for sharing this, I'm definitely inspired to try this myself
