A Little Black Dress
















I have a little black dress by Ann Taylor that I really love. This morning I pulled it out of the closet to take to the cleaners, and suddenly I am sick of it. OK, not suddenly really, but it has been my "go to" dress for various occasions when I know we won't run into the same people.


I just don't think I can wear it again. So, I let my fingers do the walking and after viewing at least 200 black dresses, I've narrowed it down to five. I'd love to know what you think. And no, you don't win a black dress of your own, but I do value your opinion very much.

If you're only going to get one, I vote for the second to last -- the simplest in style but simple can always be accessorized. The lace dresses are all so pretty, but lace isn't as versatile.

I'm in need of a new LBD myself, but I think it will have to wait until summer.

My vote is for the second one. I like that it has little sleeves so you can wear it anytime of year. Classic look you can accessorize easily with jewelry, scarves etc.

I like the fourth one, as I'm not a fan of lace or sheer. But if I were, I also like the last one.

Dress shopping! My favorite! I really like #3. I has an open neck to show off a beautiful necklace better. Some lace/scallop on the sleeves and bottom edge but not too much. It could easily be dressed up or dressed down. They are all beautiful choices. Can't wait to see which one you decide on.

Wow, those are all gorgeous! If I had to narrow it down I think I would choose #3. You can always accessorize with different things. I can't wait to see what you pick!

#4 #4 #4! It's simple and classic but it also looks the most up to date. And it doesn't have anything on it like lace that might go out of style pretty quick.

I like the third one best, but I also like the second one as it looks easier to move in.

I really like the simplicity and elegance of number 4. Very classy dress.

I love the last one. But I also really like the second to last one.....

The one you'll love will be the one that looks great on you and also feels comfortable. It also helps when you find it on sale.

I'll tell you tomorrow, which one I chose. Thanks for voting. I will tell you, although #5 was impractical, it is a wonderful dress, but it cost over $500.00 and I couldn't justify the expense.

They're all fantastic. I think I like the first one best though...

I say pick the one that gives you the most jewelry options :)

#5. Definitely #5.

I vote for #4 also. (second to last)

But you could update your current one with a brooch or scarf, fabulous jewelry...

I like the third and the last dresses best... a little lace, but still very classy.

"Which one? Which one will it be?"

Unknown said...

no 4 or no 5 for me.
4 (second to last is a classic)

I love the first two at the top.
