The LBD


The little back dress should be a quintessential element in every woman's wardrobe.  It's the perfect go-to for when you're stumped as to what to wear, or you're just plain uninspired by what's in your closet.  My husband Dr. S would argue that I should never feel uninspired, since my closet is literally overflowing and bursting at the seams.  But I could recall a good number of moments where I rifled back and forth through my clothing, eventually settling on an LBD knowing I would instantly feel polished and uplifted after I put it on. 

This particular LBD has a panel of silk down the front, and comfy jersey fabric down the back.  I wore it to our anniversary dinner last week at Osteria Mozza.  Service was a bit lacking, but I highly recommend the cold(!) squid ink pasta with Dungeness crab and sea urchin.  Smooth sea-urchiny goodness!   





Little black dress: Lanvin via Wasteland.  Patent slingback pumps: Manolo Blahnik (old, similar here and love these).  Handbag: Chanel medium flap bag in black caviar.  Rings: Banana Republic, Forever 21, mom's college ring.  
Sparked agate collar necklace: Anthropologie (similar here).

    1. It's a pretty shiny gold, definitely not matte by any means. Hope that helps!http://lifebyappointment.blogspot.com/logout?d=http://www.blogger.com/logout-redirect.g?blogID%3D2471981404519996344%26postID%3D5819192224794203205
