Ahh the classic little black dress. It’s a wardrobe staple that works for any season, but if you’ll be rocking yours this winter, we’ve got some fab ways for you to make your old standby feel totally fresh.


Purr-fect pumps

Got a night out with the crew? Go bold with pumps in a fierce animal print. Add on a statement necklace for a bit more fashion-y flair.

Metallic gems
During the day, whether you’re out wrapping up your gift list or to lunch with Mom, try a jewel toned cardigan and ballet flats to keep things sweet. These metallic ones will easily take your look from day to night!
 

Blowfish “Scoddle” Ballet Flats, $30, dillards.com

 

AE Paneled Lace Cardigan, $30 (on sale!), ae.com
 
Go for the gold
If there’s one color you add to your LBD, make it gold. It’s the color of the season, so don a wristlet, earrings, or chic cuff. Just don’t go for all at once, or risk channeling Cleopatra herself.
 

Jessica Simpson Samantha Metal Mesh Wristlet, $38, zappos.com
 

Candelabrum Gold Earrings, $20, lulus.com


Keep it cozy
Furry sweaters and tights make even the wildest of LBDs oh-so casual. Hey, maybe you’re just spending the day curled up on the couch with a good book, but at least you’ll look fab doing it.

i got leopard sperrys for christmas and i love them, but are they tacky? animal print is def in right???

Hey girl,

Animal print is one of those styles that is almost always in, and right now is no exception.The key word here is moderation, however. Too much animal print is kind of tacky. But your shoes worn with no other forms of animal print will look totally hip! I suggest pairing your sperry's with jeans and a black shirt.

I love all these ides! Although I personally wouldn't be in and LBD to curl up on thcouch, but to each her own. I saw that purple cardigan at AE on Black Friday. I thought it was adorbs. Maybe I'll just have to go back and get it... Smile
