Hola. I’ll be pretty quick here. I’m not in a very bloggy mood. If you can believe that.
It’s Friday. It wasn’t a bad day. Just one of those sort of pensive days, where I’m more in my own head than anything and can’t be bothered to be chatty. Do you ever have those days?
Maybe it’s because I got up at a most unGodly hour and didn’t log a lot of sleep last night. It’s all good. I had an important graduation to attend this morning. Circumstances as such, I didn’t really have a lot of time or inclination to put together anything crazy or take a lot of pictures.
That said, I don’t see nothing wrong with an LBD Friday. If you have been around since the very very beginning of the project, you’ll know that I’ve previously confessed to a serious little black dress addiction. To me, it’s the most perfect fashion invention of all time. Early in my adult years, I developed an virtual life philosophy and identity around the idea of the LBD. It’s simple sophistication as well as it’s adaptability. What it stands for, and what it represents to me is more than I’ve got room to blog about. But I digress.
My current wardrobe houses only a small handful, but my collection once contained over twenty of them. To my credit, I have not purchased a single little black dress this year, and I believe this only the third time I’ve resorted to wearing one as an outfit for the project. That, my friends, takes willpower.
But let us not downplay the simplistic beauty or the functionality of an LBD. It’s only right that I pay homage now and then. This is an extremely cheap and comfortable number from my collection, but it was easily styled to fit the occasions of the day. That’s what’s great about an LBD. You dress it up, you dress it down but no matter what, you hit the town and you rock that thing. Little black dress. Represent.

Love the LBD. You are right there are just times that it’s just the perfect thing to wear. I really like your sweater.
Your song for today is great. I listen to Switchfoot quite often.
Congratulations on the graduation! So happy that it happened. Here’s to the future…..
I most definitely have those introspective days. Its not a good day for those around me to be chatty. Yikes.
Love this outfit and your little black dress philosophy. Its so true.
Happy Saturday.
You looked beautiful dahling! Thanks so much for your help with the graduation. I thought it went perfect. Love you, MOM
I have a LBD addiction too. Its just one of those way too easy things and black dresses always look so chic and put together!
I really like your belt
:D!
God bless the little black dress!!
I too, own a few (three, I think) and they are always great to have to fall back on, during one of those desperate mornings.
I think that cardigan looks adorable on you. I have seen that same cardigan on three other people and have though it looked great on them too.
I bought the cardigan in yellow, and think it looks awful.
I don’t get it.
The LBD is quite the wardrobe staple. I am not sure how many I have. Several.
