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!

My Sunday best

Today's look is by FAR my favorite in the Little Black Dress experiment. I paired the dress with an old leather jacket, a fleur-de-lis inspired silk scarf from Spain that was splashed with ornate gold and royal blue designs, brown buckle boots and, once again, my Hermes bag. I went to church sporting the look and the greeter at the door, who was an older woman pulled me aside and said, "You look great this morning!" Her sincerity amazed me; it reinforced that even though I've been wearing the same dress (for 7 days now) that I can still look and feel great in it.

Don't be shy!!!! Give my your feedback! 
What look do you think has been the best? Any looks you think I should try?

Hobo meets Casual

Today's look was very classy-casual, one may even say hobo'esque with a little touch of class. I paired the Little Black Dress with my friend Ursula's camel brown buckle boots, my old tweed-herringbone jacket (whose buttons have all fallen off) and topped it all off with a simple necklace and carried my dark brown Hermes bag; the look was a success.

I let a another person, from work, in on the Little Black Dress experiment. Now I have 2 people to relay any office folk reactions and/or comments about the fact that I've been wearing the same Little Black Dress... everyday since I've started working... stay tuned!

I think tomorrow I'll go with another classy-casual look... I may even wear flip-flops!!!

Check back tomorrow for Audrey's quote of the day AND my latest look!

New Job... Same Dress

 

I started a new job today as a copywriter for an advertising company; I wasn't sure how dressy to be. I decided to wear the Little Black Dress (obviously) with a dark gray cami underneath and black heels. I dressed it down a bit by wearing a jean jacket and I carried a canvas bag, in place of a purse. I left the house like a top-notch classy writer... carrying my Google mug full of caffeine and some papers. I'm proud to report that the outfit AND the first day were both a success.

PS- I let one person at work in on the experiment, but everyone else has NO idea!

Inspiration for The Little Black Dress experiment

My inspiration for this came from Society Stylist, Elizabeth Hearst.

Would I be able to wear the same Little Black Dress for 30 days?? I doubt it, so that's why I've challenged myself to 28 days... the entire month of February.

I will, for 1 month, 30 days, less than 9% of an entire year... wear the same thing. In fashion focuses Orange County, CA, I will dare to be different and will wear the same thing every day, only accessorizing with cardigans, belts, scarves, tights, etc.

Thoughts are running through my head and I'm beginning to wonder... will people notice that I'm wearing the same dress everyday? Do people REALLY care? Will it be easier to "decide what to wear in the morning?

So many questions and the month of February holds the answers. Check back to see pictures of each day's look and my thoughts and experiences.

Wish me and my Little Black Dress lots of luck!
