I never quite understood the allure of a little black dress until I bought this one.

What is it about wearing black that makes one feel different?

I hardly ever wear black, because I like a lot of color in my wardrobe.

I am thinking that was a poor decision.

Because what was preventing me from just adding a pop of color? I received this beaded necklace for my birthday. I love it paired with the black lace.

This Free People Lorettas Dress was a steal with my birthday discount combined with the sale price. Unfortunately, I snagged the last one (see title of post). I think this one is very similar.

I forgot my gnome, so I made one with some rocks and twigs.

But who’s looking at the gnome?

Because, those shoes?!

They were the best sale popback I have ever scored at Anthropologie (they were more than 75% off). They are Chie Mihara’s Corridor Booties. I am in love.

My husband said to me, “Um, I think that dress is see-through.”

To which I smiled. Because, yes, it is see-through, but it came with a beige slip underneath that you cannot really see because it kind of matches my skin tone.

I didn’t tell him that, though. Gotta keep him on his toes.

He eventually figured it out. Just like I have now figured out I need more black clothes in my wardrobe.

Do you own a lot of black clothing? Do you have a little black dress?

Because I loved the feeling this dress gave me, I now own five.

P.S. * I shared this on The Pleated Poppy!
