Rochelle is a good blogging friend of mine and I was delighted when she agreed to post on my blog! She has such a fabulous and unique style! Hope you enjoy her post!
Hello everyone! I’m Rochelle from Rochelle Approved and when Monique asked me if I would like to do a featured blogger post, I jumped at the chance! I only recently discovered her blog and I must say that twitter was a great help in getting us to connect as soon as we realized that we are now living on the same side of the world. (I just moved to Okinawa, Japan from North Carolina, USA).
This Little Black Dress, as well as my many other LBDs, has been rather hard for me to style. I have found this one extra hard to style as it has sequins on the shoulders and a rather dressy look to it, so I’ve been waiting for a “dressy” occasion to wear it. Then I saw this look and “pinned” it on Pinterest as inspiration on how to dress down a LBD.
The straw hat, oxfords and layered necklaces really help tone down the dressy nature of this LBD. Sometimes simplicity can tone down a dressier piece to the point where it is comfortable to wear for daily use.
Since Monique lives in Australia she’s been sporting some outfits for winter, so, here is how I would style this LBD to make it winter wear. First of all I would switch out the straw hat for a felt cloche or fedora. Instead of replacing the necklaces I would simply add a few more to the mix. In order to keep from freezing I would layer a thick grey cardigan over it. To finish the look I would wear bright blue tights and black knee socks tucked into tall taupe boots.
Thank you Rochelle for posting for me today! Dont forget to check out Rochelle Approved!
