the essential little black dress for summer

Who doesn’t love finding that perfect little black dress?!  In my opinion, I think it’s great to have one for every season.  After all, a girl can’t have just one!  And I’ve found just the one for that summer date night, that girls’ night out, or just your go-to dress for a stroll downtown.

I absolutely love this dress and how versatile it is!  It can be dressed up or down, so you can get multiple looks out of it.  Personally, I love pairing it with a cute pair of strappy sandals or wedges.  But, if you’re wanting a more casual look, you could also pair it with these adorable platform sandals from Soludos!

Now, let’s talk accessories!  Who doesn’t love a fun pair of earrings or a stackable set of bracelets?!  It’s the perfect way to add a pop of color to a black dress without going overboard.  Speaking of not going overboard, I tend to keep my rings fairly simple and at a minimum.  I personally think that too many rings can create a cluttered look.  Finally, I like to add a cute clutch or wristlet, which just happens to be one of my favorite accessories!miranda sweeney

In addition to the fun accessories previously mentioned, I like to add a simple bar necklace.  It adds just the right touch to a scoop neckline.  Lastly, I like to complete the look with a statement watch.  And this beautiful Michael Kors watch comes in a couple different colors, so you can pick the one that goes best with your style!
