LBD

I had to break out a trusty LBD because that’s exactly what it is… trusty; although I’m itching to wear my LWD again. Why the LBD? Because, just look at these photos. I’m {gasp!} sitting on steps, I could eat ketchup with abandon without worrying, and I could even accidentally wipe a greasy finger on my dress, which is something a sturdy LBD can take. I wear my dresses and wear them hard, which is why my LBD will never go out of style in my closet and will always be one of my go-to dresses.

 

 

dress: T by Alexander Wang / shoes: Kate Spade / purse: Target / scarf: Echo /

This season’s LBD for me is a simple little number by T by Alexander Wang, and it’s exactly what it sounds like — an oversized t-shirt. And an oversized t-shirt screams casual, but I tried to glam it up. I’d have to say, after looking at these photos - this outfit is a fail. Next time you see this dress it will be with kicks, flip-flops, sandals, or ballet flats. Casual is causal and this styling erred on the side of “trying too hard.” On the bright side, and I do believe there always is one, I loved the lighting in these photos from the break in the clouds!

So back to the LBD - what’s your go-to outfit?

    I have to say if you just changed the shoes to a simple ankle strap sandal this would be a gorgeous look , I love how you wore it just not a fan of wedges but that’s just me . Love the headscarf , LBD are so essential in any women’s closet , right?

    In Nashville denim is the everyday go-to. Rather than blue on blue I have several different colored jeans and a denim shirtdress in heavy rotation.

    I don’t think your outfit is a fail. Perhaps the scarf is a bit too much - try omitting it and I think you’ll change your mind about the overall look ;-)

    Love, love, love this dress! Wang is the king of slouchy yet sexy perfection..think model off duty. You can totally glam this dress up or dress it down. I love the way you styled it with that pop of color purse. Gorgeous.

    Nah … not a fail. Very cute result because you wear it well, though you might want to tweak a bit. You look adorable in it , although I don’t believe for a minute you’d wipe ketchupy fingers on an Alexander Wang tee! Have a great week, and enjoy your summer!

    Definitely yes to the LBD, but I’m still in lust with my LWD for the summer (and anything white for that matter!)

    Chloe and I have had our eye on some denim shirtdresses but haven’t taken the plunge… I’ll be on the lookout for yours!

    Thank you! Yes, it is slouchy and I love that about it - in fact the shape from behind is my favorite :) it kind of gathers at the hem.

    Definitely tweaking and summer is off to a fantastic start! Thanks!

    I love the pink clutch, and I also love the headband on you. Even if you dress down the LBD, you should keep the headband.
