Petite Fashion Challenge #7: LBD

I'm going on my second month of participating in the Petite Fashion Challenge, and this month's challenge (graciously hosted by the Little Dust Princess, blog here) is:

This Month's Challenge: "The Little Black Dress"
A little black dress (LBD) is essential in every woman's wardrobe. It's always great for back-up if you run out of outfit ideas for a night out. Adding a pop of colour to your LBD will change up its look and make your dress a little less boring.

For this challenge, add a pop of colour (or two) to your little black dress to change up the look. You could add anything from an accessory to a blazer, or even nail polish!

Given my new introduction to skinny belts and how they can add pizazz to any outfit, my "spin" on the little black dress is pretty simple - the addition of a thin silver belt to add definition to the waist.  Oddly, I get Audrey Hepburn vibes from this look - so I decided to also jazz up my picture with some bling (please forgive the terrible photo-shopping skills) :)

Also paired with the LBD is one of my favorite jackets from White House, Black Market.  The mark of a good jacket is something that can serve as a statement piece alone (or, in this case, amp up a LBD).

Hope you enjoyed my impromptu post (busy weeks calls for older pictures + creativity rather than toiling in front of my camera trying to capture a decent self-portrait - oh, and the Paint function).
