The little black dress

If a girl could only have one staple work-appropriate item in their closet (don't worry that doesn't include sweats because those are essential too) I would think it should be the classic little black dress.


Dress it up, dress it down, add a cardigan, or accessorize, it's easy to rotate the black dress in your wardrobe without anyone knowing that this is the third time you've worn it in a week.


Today I paired it with this light weight cropped jacket I purchased at Anthogology, but since it's sleeveless, you can also take the jacket off or add a cardigan underneath.




I also accessorized with some of my bold turquoise jewelry, which can make a nice statement and add some color to the outfit, without going over the top.





Simple flats for shoes, or opt for heels..and you have yourself a signature outfit.
