One staple item that should be in every woman's closet is the classic and much needed Little Black Dress. Often known as LBD, this piece is definitely a MUST have whether it be one that you find for a steal, or one that pinches the wallet a bit. You don't need to spend a lot to look like a million bucks. Trust me. Take a look at the ladies below. How much do you think their dresses cost?
Bedo $30
Urban Behavior $30
Urban Planet $1
Talula $90
(The $1 dress was a part of a buy one, get one for $1 deal, just in case you're wondering. You can continue to let your jaw drop.)
So now that I've proven that deals and steals do exist, how do you choose just one when there are so many options? One solution is not to! But if you're looking for the right piece without denting the wallet, the first thing to do is shop around. How much are you willing to spend? Even if your budget is $20, you can probably find something that works for you. However, if you're planning to have one classic dress to keep for a long time, you may want to think about investing a bit more. Whatever the budget, there's something out there for you.
Remember, when you're shopping for a dress, don't just pick the style you love the most because it may not be the most flattering. Visit a few different shops and bring a friend along for a second option. Preferably one who will tell you the truth! I try to steer away from the sales associates' opinions because their best interest may not always be your best interest.
What does your favorite LBD look like? And how much did you spend on it?
My LBD is simple, sleeveless and elegant. I like it simple because you can always dress it up with different accessories to give a different look each time!
