Hey everyone!
As you probably already know based on the outfits I’ve shared here in the past, I am a fan of contrasting colors, prints, and textures. I am not afraid of experimenting with different pieces to make them work as a cohesive look. However, I’ve recently found myself appreciating the beauty in simplicity. Simple does not have to be boring. In fact, there are many ways for a monochromatic look to be visually interesting. A classic little black dress can be played up in so many ways and speak of your individual character, and yet all it takes is just one color. (Which isn’t even a color, really, because black is actually a shade created from a lack of light. But let’s not go that deep).
A short while ago, I created a wishlist of things I’m loving this spring from Banggood. Check out my wishlist if you haven’t already to see some of the awesome stuff this site has to offer. I’ve gotten things from there before in the past, and I was not dismayed. Not sure if you remember or not, but the long-sleeve black dress, leopard print scarf, and leaf ring were all really nice. Go take a look at that last review if you so desire. Anyways, today I’m sharing with you all one of the two dresses I ended up getting from my spring wishlist of Banggood items.

This LBD features long lace sleeves, which I think adds an edgy appeal to an otherwise classic dress. It has a slight high-low cut at the bottom, and the neckline is fairly modest. The sleeves in my opinion are the true focal point. They add a nice flair to it. And you know me, I love black lace.
You can find a similar dress as this one here. I have a SECOND post featuring another dress from Banggood I will be posting soon! It is also from my spring wishlist. So get excited for that.
When I took those photos, it was incredibly hot outside. I am amazed that I was able to wear this dress and not feel like I was dying. My photographer, also known as my sister, was complaining the entire time because she just wanted to go hide indoors with an icy cold drink. Seattle doesn’t get hot and sunny as often as other places, but when it does I don’t feel prepared. I need to start working on my tolerance levels for hot weather again.
Though, I really shouldn’t say that and risk jinxing it. I love when the weather gets to be this nice out. The only thing that bothers me is my fear of getting sunburned, or developing skin cancer. That and the bees that come out to play now that flowers have bloomed and it’s time to pollinate. I know bees are great and play a crucial role in nature, but that doesn’t lessen my fear at all!
What did you guys think? How do you style little black dresses? Lemme know in the comments below!
I hope you all enjoyed reading, and that you have a wonderful day!
