{For Fashion's Sake} Saturday: Week Little Black Dress

For one who has never been the most conventional dresser, when I was due at an event that called for a 

"little black dress" 

I found myself at a loss. 

But alas, I soon learned that the 

ever-flattering shade of ebony 

just needed a tiny twist to make me feel at home, whilst still retaining its classic appeal. 

Top: The hounds-tooth scarf, red lipstick, and the chunky white necklace gives it a vintage flair.

Dress: Homemade, did I tell you my mother's fantastic?
Small patent-leather belt: Vintage, $2
White Platform shoes: Target, $15
Scarf: Charlotte Russe (pulled off a headband,) $3
Necklace: Goodwill, $0.50

Left: The gold belt and over-sized cocktail ring make this outfit a conversation piece.
Silk Black Dress: Banana Republic Sale Rack (splurge), $80
Gold Belt: Thrifted, $1

Dapper Boyfriend (at the time): Main Street Carnival, Priceless

Right: GIANT floral Headband, my favorite green cardi, and lacy black tights set me apart at this Mocktail Party.
