Today I thought Id show how I would style a timeless wardrobe staple, my little black dress

Bleasdale intended to wear the dress to her daughters wedding, and after capturing the image with her iPhone and showing it to her friends, she was surprised to find that, to some people, it appeared to look white and gold

Black opaque tights would be my usual go-to, but with an LBD (or LBSD), it starts to look like funeral attire (no, thank you), so instead we went with a pair of $8 gray ones from Hanes, which offer a nice contrast

Try something lighter, in a luxe, semi-sheer fabric (it is summer, after all) and a sleeker silhouette, la these purple picks from Bec + Bridge and Colleen Allen
