Lookbook: The Little Black Dress Experiment

I previously mentioned that I was one of the 31 bloggers participating in The Society Stylist's "Little Black Dress Experiment" and here is my look!

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Gift from Ann Taylor

Jacket: H&M

Shoes: Christian Louboutin "Bianca"

Ring: Wendy Brandes

My husband edited and put together this collage that's why it's a million times better than my usual lookbook posts!

Ann Taylor sent over this dress for all the LBD bloggers and when I first got it I have to admit that I wasn't exactly excited over it.  The fit was a little bit off and unflattering for my shape.  I made a few adjustments, unbuttoned the buttons, pulled the collar down and hemmed the dress up a few inches.  The tweed jacket was a good complement to the dress as I was going for a classy and modern look.  I just love the stud details on the jacket.  I don't shop at H&M often but I think this jacket is my best find there!  If you can't tell, this was a bit Seattle themed with the Space Needle in the background and all the Seattle signage.  The gray cloudy day really added to the authenticity of it!   August usually isn't this gray, I promise, we usually have such beautiful sunny summers.  Not sure what's going on here but I don't like it!

I have loved the Diana ring from Wendy Brandes forever and when she had a sale I decided that I had to have it.  It's perfect and beautiful and a lovely every day piece.  BTW, she's having her last sale of the summer soon, check out her blog for the details.

Make sure to stop by the Society Stylist to see the rest of the bloggers and how they styled their LBD!
