accessorizing a little black dress
blooper video
Do you have any fancy parties to go to this holiday season? For Christmas or New Years? If you are sticking to the classic “lbd” (little black dress), play around with some new jewelry to change up the look. Below are some suggestions of necklace/earring combinations, but keep in mind if the neckline of your dress is different, some of these combinations may not work.
Other ways to spice up your little black dress are with fun tights, a unique clutch, or colorful shoes!
Most of all, wear something you are comfortable in so you can enjoy your evening!

Great post! I love all of the options – it inspires me to wear something that is already hanging in my closet for my hubby’s work holiday party tomorrow night, just accessorizing differently to change up the look!
Cute ideas! I just bought that first necklace from Target and wore it a holiday party. Love it.
I really like that first necklace! It’s always hard for me to accessorize my basic black dresses for some reason.
Cute options…I really need a little black dress!
all about the statement necklaces…

this is so helpful! can you do more posts like this? i never know how to accessorize – i feel like i always have a necklace i want to wear, but can’t figure out which earrings would look good, what bracelet to wear with it, etc.
I like to pair simple black dresses in the wintertime with a colorful cardigan and a black belt around the waist. If i want it to be causal i wear flats, if i want it dressy i wear heels. So versatile! Thanks for this!
I love these practical tips to dressing up that “LBD!” My favorite is the long necklace with dangle earrings. 🙂
I have a royal blue v-neck (maternity) wrap dress to wear to a wedding this weekend and a holiday party in a couple weeks. I have no idea what jewelry to wear! Any tips for v-necks? All of your options look so cute!
I love that first necklace, so pretty! I’m going all out with my party dresses this year so probably super minimal jewelry for me!

So I came across your blog on pinterest -looking for hair updo ideas :), then I got sucked in and couldn’t stop reading! Then, I got even more excited because you are in Raleigh (I’m in Apex), then it got even better because you are a part of a great community of believers at the Summit – I’m at Salem Baptist (my husband is the youth pastor there and ps – his name is Justin). A lot of our college students who can’t get back to Apex will go to Summit and they love it so much. We are so thankful they have gotten connected somewhere. I love it when I find local bloggers – and bloggers that I can relate to! Your blog is awesome, I am enjoying it immensely. Just wanted to share :).
Wonderful suggestions. I love my LBD’s and need to really know how to accessorize them properly to distinguish them!
Thanks, Kate! I’ve been reading your blog for a long time. Perfect timing on this post – I’m going to a cocktail party on Friday night and I wasn’t sure the how to accessorize my LBD in just the right amounts!
Where did you pick up this adorable LBD? I’ve been on the hunt for a new one and this one is amazing!
I love this post! I have big chunky necklaces and am never sure how to wear earrings that don’t take away from the necklace. Awesome!

Aome long necklaces could also be worn as a unique & stylish belt to fancy up a plain dress. ^_~
