$150 Challenge: Little Black Dress

By -
I'm currently reading the biography of Coco Chanel, creator of the little black dress phenomenon. With all the talk of this season's bold colors and color blocking, it can be easy to overlook a wardrobe's best friend. Here's a versatile dress in a style to suit most everyone paired with spring's trendier offerings.

retro swing dress, ASOS $44.83
print pump, Nine West 'Ambitious" on Endless $68.95
stone necklace, Anthropologie $38

I have a dress just like that and I agree - it really is versatile and can work with just about anything, as long as it's not too extravagant.

A woman can really get the most by wearing the versatile black. You can easily dress it up or down with accessories. I have plenty of little black dress in my closet and they make me a fashion chameleon - casual by day and sexy at night.

What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion.

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
