Do you remember a few days ago I mentioned my friend Marc-Andre's birthday?
Well, this is what I wore to his surprise party. I have to tell you that while this is the dress I had planned to wear all along, it went through a dramatic transformation while I was getting ready....see more below.
Initially I put on this dress, but paired with tons of big gold bling, and tights with a floral pattern, and no blazer. It looked so garish, I couldn't believe it. Definitely too much by my standards. I asked Chris what he thought. He said the dress was the problem. So I tried on a bunch of other stuff, but nothing felt right. So I went back to my original dress but made all the accessories more playful and colourful and modest rather than so rock and rolly. And I'm happy with what turned out. The blazer, the hits of blue and purple, two of my favourite pieces of jewelry all seemed appropriate for the black canvass.
How would you have styled this little black dress?

Usually an LBD is a beautiful classic but can get mundane - I love how you gave it that pop of purple!
