Upgrade your Little Black Dress


Everyone loves an LBD, but sometimes they become repetitive and unoriginal when it comes to formal events like dinner functions or prom. I can't count the number of times I've seen girls wear nearly identical black dresses to events and though they looked gorgeous, it's hard to make them memorable. However, since LBDs are classic and also flattering on any body type, there are ways to change them up and make them stand out with the right accessories. For example, pairing an LBD with a sequined blazer or even a contrasting colour like the blue jacket below immediately changes the look and allows you to stand out among the rest.

Another big trend right now is pairing LBDs - or any black outfit - with neon accessories. This trend is incredibly easy to pull off, because all you need are a few key neon pieces - like jewelry, scarves or heels - to make an all-black outfit pop or stand out in an LBD. Below are two examples of how modern this look is, à la Kardashian sisters.

See how easy it is to pair an neon green purse (I'm pretty sure it's Givenchy) with a black wrap dress and candy-coloured heels? Kourtney opted for (what looks like) a black studded Alexander McQueen clutch, however went with the same bright colour scheme as her sister by adding a neon yellow bubble necklace and a pair of bright pink heels. I myself own a neon pink scarf, a few neon-coloured bathing suits and am currently eyeing up a pair of electric blue heels and trying to come up with a good reason for why my mom needs to buy them for me.
