Not the same old LBD


One of the must-haves in any girl's closet is a Little Black Dress (LBD). So of course I had to have one. I went searching in Hyderabad for an LBD one evening when I had to attend a party. Long story short, after battling traffic for a couple hours and looking at about 20 stores all over the city I could not even find one LBD. I then had to settle for a black dress which had an asymmetrical hem and did not fit me right.

That night at the party I was way too conscious of what I was wearing. This is the opposite of what a LBD is supposed to make you feel. Needless to say, I have never worn that dress since.

So as I doodled away my fashionable outfit ideas, I set out to create my perfect little black dress. Now if you know me, you know that I like color in my outfits. So my LBD was going to have some color which would highlight the black. So here is my first attempt.

Accessories: Wear Yellow or Green open toe pumps, Yellow bangles or a bracelet and big dangling earrings.

Make up: Dark/Smoky eyes, may be with a hint of green eye shadow and shimmery neutral gloss.

  1. Very cute. Not a complete LBD since its got quite a bit of color. The neckline looks a bit simple. Is this supposed to be a sleeveless quasi-LBD?

    Nice boldening of the Accessories and Make-up sections.
