Hey awesome ones. So we know that the little black dress is really that
classic elegant look, but you don't have to wear that dress only to the Christmas
office party or something along those lines. I've got five different ways with
one black dress and I'm going to show it to you in just a few seconds.
So just before I show you the looks remember that a lot of the times when
you're going maybe to a party or a gala and you're wearing this kind of simple
black dress look which I'm going to just show in a second, oh you really want to
maybe do up your makeup a little bit more. So up there I'm going to put a link
to the smoky eye because a lot of times we want to wear more of a smoky eye so
let's get into my first look over here and what it is it's well the simple
black dress. With all of the elegance of it all. With this dress I am actually
wearing a little cami underneath, but that's because sometimes these dresses
they do ride a little bit low and I have a very lightweight cami underneath. I
also have a no strap black bra on because as you can see these straps are
fairly fairly thin and I just don't want something popping out all the time like
a bra strap. I also have and here I'll grab it for you, some shapewear this is
the kind of shapewear that's a panty that sort of goes up the waist a little
bit to give me a little bit more of a curvier shape and I didn't go for the
ones with the straps because again the shapewear with the straps would really
show through on this. Now I'm keeping this very very simple with jewelry I've
chosen. So this is really an elegant type of thing we're going to. Got a
rhinestone or diamond if you can have a real diamond good for
you, but a rhinestone type of necklace very simple, the drop earrings match
again very simple. On my wrist again I just have a simple one bangle kind of
look. I also decided....I here's another thing that I want to mention to you. I've
seen this. I've literally seen this where a woman it doesn't even matter
what age she is she'll wear kind of a top that is cut off at the top. So it's
kind of like one of those sleeveless no strap tops and then she has a miniskirt
on. So it literally looks like she just put a great big scarf around like a
black scarf around her and that was her dress. So you're gonna do one thing or
the other and in this particular dress I've got the smaller straps going on the
low-cut neckline. So I chose to have it not mini, but just a little bit around
the knee and for the shoes I think that I would really like to go with kind of a
sandal look with this. Again a strappy sandal is quite lovely for this look and
oh by the way I'm going to try to find black dresses and some jewelry and a lot
of the things that I'm mentioning in this video. I'll link it in the
description back to my blog where as you know we make a little bit of commission.
So again thank you so much for tha. For helping us out with that, but if we can't
find the exact we'll find something similar. So yeah of course we all know
this look Heather, but I just wanted to reiterate it a little bit more and now
let's go on to the second one. I have something completely different for this
look and it's kind of like a casual Friday kind of look, but you have a date
going on in the evening or you know something some special event going on in
the evening and you don't want to run home and get changed and all that sort
of thing. So actually what I did also was I did a fall fashion and I did kind of a
version of this. So I will put up my five favorite fall fashions up there that I
just did not too long ago and you can take a look at that afterwards as well,
but let's get to this outfit her. So I do have the same little black dress as I
showed in the first one underneath and what I have paired this one with is a
jean jacket and a scarf. So you see I'm pretty well covered up there with that
low neckline and everything. Also what I added was a pair of black leotards so
you know we've got the length of the dress going on while we
also have the black leotards. Now I also, to make this a little bit fun, I
added a pair of black granny boots which oh my gosh you can get so much mileage
out of these kind of boots and put the whole look together. Now yes I'd be
wearing that for work and maybe I would take the jacket off if it's a
little bit warm at work or something and then I've got the pretty little scarf
and I'm still looking okay you know I don't have any sleeves on but I'm still
looking okay. When I go out on that date and I remove the scarf I'm ready
for the evening. So you know switch-o change-o right there and I love this
idea.... oh by the way if you're enjoying these videos there's a subscribe
button down there and also don't forget to ring the bell and we'd love to have
you come and join our community here and watch all these videos. The Bell means
that you'll get notified when the videos are up. So on to number three. Wow this
look means business. And what I have done with the little black dress is I have
paired it with a black jacket. Now this one, I love the long lean look and even
though I'm tall you can probably get that kind of look if you're wearing
maybe a higher shoe or something along those lines, but you could certainly wear
a shorter jacket with this it, would still
kind of work with it. And what I have going on with this particular look is
again this is, I'm in business this is office power meetings all that sort of
thing, and I have matched this with a gold
statement necklace. So you can see that there. I also have hidden underneath the
jacket a nice gold bango so make sure that it's kind of matching matchy - you
don't want to put a silver bangle on, but for my earrings I didn't want to
overpower everything and there's that bell. I guess somebody's subscribing.
No it's Bill's phone. Anyway anywho back to where it was on my earrings. This is
live folks, we're just doing this in one take, but on my earrings I have little
stud earrings on, didn't want them to overpower the necklace. I have gone with
a black stocking they're actually pantyhose with this particular look. I
know you could wear a bare feet but I just think it adds to the length again
keeping the coloring look sort of going. I also just paired it with a pair of
black, kind of pump shoes there, that I really really like. They've got a little
bit of character to them, but there you go
this one means business folks. So for this look you probably never think of
doing this but it actually works it's kind of a mishmash of different things,
but I have got the same black dress on and it's underneath kind of a flowing
jacket slash overtop in turquoise which I love turquoise, but you could have any
other kind of jacket over top of it. Now also underneath I have jeggings. Now
they're not super tight and they're not that kind of exercise shiny material,
just plain cotton stretchy jeggings. If you're feeling a little uncomfortable
with that you could always go for a stovepipe pant
or just a regular straight leg pant, some people....also you might need petite, so
look those up I have also paired this with again
another kind of granny boot here, trouser socks and also a pointed kind of boot.
It's kind of a nice looking look and again I've got that length and the
slenderness kind of going up by having the entire black look underneath. Now to
add a little bit more to it and not have people guess that I'm wearing a black
dress underneath I've got my stretchy belt and I know a lot of you are
getting those stretchy belts at the blog so I''ll make sure I put the link back there,
but yeah it stretches and it keeps me, it's cool looking but it also allows me
to do some breathing there and looks really nice with this outfit. To top it
all off also I have a little bit of a choker necklace. I didn't want to go too
much, sort of because I have the belt there, so I didn't want to do too much of
a WoW thing on the neck and also I found these little lava bracelets which are
really really nice so I just sort of put on a simple black bracelet and there you
go. So number 5 is when you wanted to wear a little black dress but you don't
want to go spending all kinds of money and I'm kind of wearing what I've got in
this particular video next to me. I just found this beautiful lace sweater and I
put it over top of the same dress again and it just totally made another look
for it. So I'm going to put the two dresses side by side, well same dress but the
two videos side by side so in one of them you say oh wow you know that's
quite classic and in the other one it's a little bit more conservative,
maybe even you can sort of wear it and people won't know that's the same dress,
but I think for this look getting right back to just the the one with the
sweater with a lace sweater you can also do that in a kind of a bolero kind of
look where it just sort of goes over your shoulders as well, but for this
particular look I'm going for maybe a chunky or chunkier type of sandal, or maybe
it's a little bit more casual. I've got that other look going on and yeah it
just you can also wear this maybe with a pair of pumps, but you know it's the same
dress, but you're getting other looks out of it and that's the whole thing folks.
One dress several looks. Why do we have to have all different kinds of
black dresses in our closet. We really don't have to. So it's that time again for
the cuteness factor. Little Hurricane there they are again, all those people out there in video land.
