There’s nothing like a great LBD. Well, how about a machine washable cotton one?! Yep, this dress is basically perfect.
If you’re in the market for an easy, breezy dress for summer to wear over swimsuits or on the daily, this black, button-down maxi dress from Garnet Hill is perfect. Plus, it’s on sale for $68 right now.
If you are looking for summer shoes to match, be sure to look at Garnet Hill’s shoe collection. I’m loving these espadrilles for summer.
Maxi dresses have to be the most comfortable style of dress there is. Okay, moomoo's and house coats might be more comfortable, but who wants to wear those?
This elegant, black maxi dress by Kokoon is my third choice for Kokoon's style challenge. The color definitely makes it more versatile than most dresses, but because of it's simplicity I can easily accessorize this dress to make it more boho for a day with Elle or a trip to the farmer's market. I added a lace kimono, hat, clutch and a statement necklace with ease.
By simply removing my hat and kimono, I am left with an elegant dress that is more suitable for church, brunch or a shower.
I love when style isn't complicated and doesn't require too much effort to feel beautiful. Kokoon's dresses are exactly that for women.

I think it's safe to say that all of us have a black dress in our closet. But do all of us have an LBD that is versatile like this one?
Kokoon challenged me to style three dresses for five days, and I selected the Rick Rack dress as one of the pieces I think women should have because it's sophisticated and versatile. You can wear it work with a blazer and black bumps as shown above or you can wear it with statement earrings and dressy shoes and be ready for church or even a date night.
You don't even need to overly accessorize this dress. The simplicity is what makes it so beautiful. Plus, the fact that it's knit makes it wrinkle-free and machine washable is a home run. It's THE perfect travel dress for those who are jet-setters.
So, that kills two days (work day and Sunday), check back tomorrow to see what dress transcends another two day period of time.

I'm sure you have heard the acronym L.B.D. by now, but in case you haven't it stands for "little black dress." That's what every woman should have in their closet because it's a wardrobe staple that is incredibly versatile. When you find a great fitting black dress you can dress it up for a party, down for the weekend or make it sophisticated for the office. It's truly a woman's best friend.
So, I'm sharing with you today my long-sleeve winter "LBD" from Synergy Organic Clothing that I wear at least once a week if not more (shhhh!), and I'm showing you how I style it three different ways.
1| The Weekend LBD - I simply add my Moon Cats scarf and I am set for the day. I really love the tassels and the blue and red color combination. It makes me feel so French.
2| Work LBD - When I go to style for a shoot I have got to feel comfortable and move easily. This dress allows me to do that with a double slit. I paired my fuzzy vest to dress it up. Plus, having my hair pulled back makes everything look more sophisticated.
3| Party LBD - I don't like being cold, and I'm always freezing at winter cocktail parties because I pick a cute little dress. I finally get fed up about feeling cold and wear a jacket, but then my dress is covered up the whole time. This outfit is perfect for braving the temps and you don't need to worry about covering it up. I paired a white tuxedo jacket with my black dress and a black and white houndstooth clutch made by Sincerely Jenn to pull it together.
