LES GRANDES AMIES DE LA PETITE ROBE NOIRE
Take a Little Black Dress...
...like the ones first designed in the 20's by Mademoiselle.

It could be any cute Little Black Dress that strikes your fancy.
Then dress it up just with breathtaking earrings.
That's all you need, you know, really.
SHE did, and breathtaking they were!
In case "they" insist they can lend these huge emeralds only to Red Carpet celebrities and you don't quite qualify yet, not to worry, there is a more manageable version.

You can opt for a more discreet approach, but you would be wrong.
Even if you prefer to stay neutral at least go for BIG.
Sophia Bush also gets it right. Low key but generous.

A little black dress needs Oomph! a lot of Oomph. Trust me.

Color, bold color, will be needed to balance the severity of the black.

Go for broke; get really colorful!
Oscar de la Renta
All right, if you must be a bit shy, just this once, as long as you choose color.
Marie Helene de Taillac
Now, THIS is going creative... and fearless.
YSL
And if you are in an Indian mood, this fit-for-a-Maharani pair will certainly do.
Dagmar jewelry
Have fun with that LBD.
au revoir.

Nothing like a great little black dress topped by chandelier earrings! Happpy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI wore a LBD last night to dinner at a bistro in Paris...but I wish I looked as lovely as the models in your photos! Ha! I needed the earrings.
ReplyDeleteAcquired objects: Yes, right?
ReplyDeleteClassic.casual.home: I bet you looked fabulous! and yes, try to find some great earrings there; maybe even at Le Bon Marche if you are around there. Have fun.
Well, those Oscar de la Renta earrings have my name all over them!! You need some strong jewelry to offset a LBD. Good post!
ReplyDeleteNothing says it better than the little black dress. Love the Amrita Singh earrings.
ReplyDeleteYou have an interesting blog and I love your topics. I have added you to my blog list and invite you to stop by for a visit. I'll be back!

Great idea to add colour with earrings. I will try it as I find black now very severe. Thanks
