Dainty Outfit: LBD & Leopard

I have been in a bit of a pants and moto boots phase since the holidays – my feet got used to slippers! I’m slowly getting my dainty back with dresses and heels and today I reached for a classic LBD (little black dress – but if you’re reading this blog, you already know that).

There’s nothing like a LBD to make a gal feel elegant, confident and sexy. I picked up this classic LBD at French Connection a couple of years ago and it’s been a staple ever since. It’s structured enough to be office appropriate and slinky enough for cocktails. I love the thick, stretchy knit, long sleeves and subtle pleats at the bust and waist. It honestly feels like a luxurious fitted sweatshirt that hugs all the right curves!

Sometimes I add a skinny belt in a bold colour (depending on the season and my footwear choice), but today I opted for edgy collar candy and leopard booties. It’s a great look for fall/winter, especially with my burgundy Minkoff Mini MAC and matching red lips! This LBD transitions well into spring too, with colourful accessories and bare legs.

Trying not to walk with too much swagger today, but this dress makes me feel so good! Do you have a confidence boosting LBD? Aren’t they just fabulous?!
