The LBD: It’s classic, timeless, effortlessly chic, and always appropriate.

Call it how you see it, but nothing can compare to the simple silhouette and tasteful look a LBD provides. No matter what era you were born in or the major trends that shaped your fashion, a little black dress IS and ALWAYS will be your saving grace of style.

I believe every woman should own one, two, or even three little black dresses for multiple occasions. Purchase a bargain LBD and a splurge LBD just for the sake of having a casual vs. dressy option. Plus, you know you will always have a few closet accessories that can glam you up for evening, or accentuate your sophisticated daytime look.

I took this LBD from casual to evening with one basic addition: a statement necklace… go ahead and say hello to the insanely cool Bauble Bar piece that will be sure to make many, many appearances on Lex What Wear. The necklace alone adds a wow factor to the shifty LBD, and helps pull out the gold accents in the shoulder line of the dress.
