"One is never over-dressed or under-dressed with a Little Black Dress." —Karl Lagerfeld .... as the head designer of Chanel, a brand synonymous with a monochrome pallet, he should know what he's talking about!
Now, it's no secret that here at Dirty Fabulous we're HUGE fans of colour, but even we return, over and over again to our old reliable friend.... black.
There's a reason that we're all drawn to black at times, it just looks too darn good making it the ultimate fallback.
Feeling a bit bleuch? Wear some black.
Feeling totally rockin' and want to knock their socks off! Wear some black.
Want to look elegant? Wear some black.
Want to look sexy? Wear some black.
Not sure what to wear to a work event or wedding? How about black?
Need something age appropriate? Yup, you guessed it... the answer's wear something black!
The little black dress will continue to be one of the most reliable and fabulous friends you could find in a wardrobe. Is it time that you added another LBDBFF to your collection?
