OOTD: How to Style a Black Dress

Black Dress Picture

You may have noticed my sudden love for black, especially black dresses. Well, you may think it is sudden but it is not. There was a point in my teenage years when I wore only black. My wardrobe was all about black dresses, skirts, tops, shoes, almost everything was in black back then. I found it easy to style black so it became my personal style. Nowadays, I still like to have a few black pieces in my wardrobe every now and again, but I tend to do colour more.

However when it comes down to investment pieces, black will always win. There is something about the colour black, that just does it for me. Black pieces and accessories are classy and effortlessly chic. You don’t have to over think your accessories when you have a black dress on, because any colour would look great paired next to it. It makes dressing up easy.

A simple black dress is great for those lazy days where you need to get dressed up but can’t think or can’t be bothered to think of what to wear. I love this particular black fitted long sleeve jersey midi dress with a scooped out neck and twist knot detail. I got it some weeks ago and I find it so comfortable, it feels so soft, I could sleep in it.  I think this piece is super stylish. I am going to wear the life out of this one.

The beauty about a black dress is that it never goes out of fashion, always in vogue, and with the right accessories, you could wear your black dress to every occasion, so having a couple may help create a capsule wardrobe.

OOTD: I Can Smell Spring

Spring Outfit Image

A change in season is always a big deal, as far as fashion is concerned, because we fashion lovers get to rearrange our wardrobe and usher in pieces for the new season. I love spring because it has the perfect temperature, not too warm or too cold, but it is the endless rain that comes along with it, I don’t like too much. I also love the fact that I can still layer up light pieces in spring. This weather makes styling outfits a lot of fun.

This black dress by Accessorise is a lovely addition to my spring wardrobe. It is a Lace Insert Tassel Maxi Dress and it is my only maxi dress at the moment, not had one in ages. This versatile piece is the perfect maxi dress. It creates an effortlessly chic look, and the elasticated waistband with adjustable tasselled ties, means the sizing is quite flexible too, which is great for petite ladies.

I love the fact that this piece is so easy to style up with a jacket and high heels like I have done here, or dress down with flats for a walk on a beach.

Speaking of beaches, I am badly in need of a proper holiday. It feels like I havn’t had one in ages. In an ideal situation, I would want to visit Dubai again. I visited the beautiful country some years ago and it was the best holiday I ever had, followed closely by my Miami holiday. The issue is, flights are so expensive these days, it is almost impossible to go away nice, so I always end up visiting a country in EU, but let’s see how it goes, fingers and toes crossed. Do you have any holidays planned for the year? Where are you off to?
