Ways to Wear Challenge: LBD


This is the first post of a new (and my first) challenge that i'm taking part in. The challenge was set up by Gemma of Big Girls Browse. The challenge is called ways to wear and any blogger can take part, for more information check out this post from Gemma for all the information.

The first challenge is the classic LBD (Little Black Dress). About a year ago my wardrobe was filled with black, it was about the only colour i wore, but since i started blogging, black has become a kind of foe to me, it was my security blanket, a colour to hide behind, so now i hardly have any black in my wardrobe, which made this challenge, quite challenging, so after a rummage through i found this beauty.

I bought this over the Summer when mesh and cut out was all the rage, it is main range New Look (showing sometimes you need to try things on). Wearing a bra with this top ruins the effect and look for me so i dared to go braless (the dress is tight enough and sturdy enough that i believe it will keep me in place). I added peep toes, a belt (i couldn't decided about the belt so i have pictures of both) to highlight my waist and i added some statement jewellery and a slick of red lipstick to finish the look off. A sexy LBD but still modest and keeping my dignity.
