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.
What do you think of simple black dresses? Do you wear them?

Yes it is. Thanks Lottie xo
You look fab – I thought that dress was way more expensive than Miss Selfridge. I do love a bit of black but I’m trying hard to buy more colour at the moment.
Thanks Colette xo
Sometimes a piece like a simple black dress is such a great thing to have in your collection for days when you don’t know what else to wear!

Yea it is..
A large proportion of my wardrobe is black and I have to admit I always find it easier to style because you can add any colour accessories to it x
Yea it is super easy to style xo
I love black because it is always in style, super sleek, minimal, just fire to my soul. I love how you have the pops of color with the bag and the shoes – yes they are pops of color for someone who only wears black. Great styling!
Thank you xo
I love a good black dress that can be dressed up or dressed down x
Yeap me too xo
you look awesome and that last picture is stunning. Very beautiful and nice style!
Thanks Angela xo
your welcome 🙂
I have a lovely long black maxi dress and I like to add a pop of colour by adding pretty sandles, a nice bag and bright nail varnish. Bright pink works well for me
Ah sounds very nice xo
You look fab and the dress is lovely. I love black dresses for exactly the same reason, you can style them with any colour and can always make them look different.
Thanks xo

Your right. The little black dress is so important. I have just bought a new maxi one and also need a midi one for dress up.
Had to do this cos I have lost alot of weight over the last 6 months, deliberately mind. I adore the Ms Selfridge dress your wearing. I like wearing a maxi one with a denim gillet/waistcoat for smart/quirky in the summer.
I love the Coach bag you have teamed it with, especially. Looking good as ever Stella. You always inspire me to keep thinking about my wardrobe and the way I wear things. Glad I found your blog
Thank you. Happy to know you enjoy reading my blog. I enjoy reading your comments…
You look great in that dress – I have promised myself that in autumn I will invest in a key black dress. I try to steer away from black for the summer months.
Thanks Helen x
I’m loving that dress! You definitely have a lot of freedom to choose accessories when you go with black dresses.
