Bring it on El Niño!

Today I matched the Little Black Dress with a dark purple cami underneath and a faded purple long sleeve cropped sweater and stepped out with my boots on. I decided in an effort to mix things up a little that I would try the look with a belt... surprisingly, it worked (or at least I think it did). I also wore a heart necklace and slung a black purse over my shoulder. I would describe today's look as "winter ready"; I'm definitely ready for some CA winter and rain- bring it on El Niño!

I'm going out with my pants on!

I decided to pair the Little Black Dress with pants today. I wore a belt mid way up my torso and pulled the dress through it and ended up with a short'ish peasant-type top. My new "top" was a little too mid-drift for my taste so I put a dark gray cami underneath. The cami went nicely with my shorter classic hounds tooth jacket pattern jacket that is infused with yellow threads. To top the look off, I wore plain black heels and carried a black purse, all together I think the look was classy casual with a hint of personality. I feel great about the look and am looking forward to pairing the dress with pants more in the future.
Did I succesfully pull off the dress-pant combo? I want to hear your feedback!
