Every gal knows the benefit of a little black dress. We talk about them so often, we can’t even be bothered to spell out little-black-dress, usually referencing LBD for short.
Typically when I hear LBD, I think “cocktail dress”. But this particular LBD is definitely no cocktail dress. It’s more of a work appropriate LBD.
When I first ordered it online from a clearance sale at Banana Republic several months ago, I really thought there was more to this dress and was a bit dissappointed when it showed up.
It is very simple. No frills. No ruffles. No assymmetry.
But I have been pleasantly surprised at how versatile it is. It’s easily dressed up or down with the addition of accessories.
AND, as long as I don’t gain a little or lose a lot of weight, I can pretty much wear it until the end of time.
Dress: Banana Republic (similar)

Side note: Have you ever worn a scarf like this? I’ve tried it out a few times, but this was my first time stepping out in public with my scarf through my belt.

Let’s just blame Pinterest for my scarf inspiration (#7). I’ve also been digging way #10 lately.
Do you have a tried-and-true LBD?
Do you tie your scarves different ways or stick to one method?
This recipe only has five ingredients! …unless you count the salt and then it has six ingredients, but I really don’t think salt counts. It’s kind of a given. When I told Brad we were going vegetarian for dinner, he looked less than thrilled. He usually is okay with no-meat dinners. But let’s face it. …
How do you add a bit of cheer to gray? How about a bit of yellow? It’s been dreadfully dreary here in NC lately. Finally, today the sun came out for a bit. Thank my stars, it’s going to be much more bearable tomorrow. I can’t take day after day of the rain. I need …
This girl loves her pancakes. They’re my favorite part of most Sunday mornings. And I’ve made all different kinds. From pumpkin protein pancakes to blueberry pancakes, I’m very creative when it comes to mixing up a batch of my favorite fluffy breakfast companions. But do you know what I don’t make enough? Classic pancakes! When Brad …
Some people have a pasta weakness. I am not one of those people. My vices usually contain chocolate and sugar and wine. Although, not necessarily all at one time. However, every once in a while I want to indulge in a pasta dish. It’s a nice change of pace from my typical carb choices like …
If you know my Brad, then you know he absolutely loves pimento cheese. Remember this post? haha. We laugh and say that he’s a pimento cheese connoisseur, but I’m not completely joking when I make this statement. He knows his pimento cheese. And goodness knows he has sampled them enough (and I have too) to …
I used to be so hard core about going to the gym. I was there, rain or shine. I had to remind myself to take a rest day after realizing that I had worked out for 14 days straight. Working out was embedded into my schedule and my soul. Oh how things have changed. Granted, …
