LITTLE BLACK DRESS, PART I by Lake Palen


Black dresses had been around for a long time before Coco Chanel introduced her abbreviated, liberated version to the world in the 1920s. What became known as "The Little Black Dress," or LBD, has now been a staple of the well-furnished closet for nearly a century. I often opt for one for emotional comfort or when I am going somewhere without knowing what the dress code is.


This version of the LBD has clean, elegant lines and provides plenty of coverage for when you don't want to show a lot of skin. This long-sleeved, turtleneck dress from Corvus, one of my long-time favorite stores, has brought a lot of compliments. It is a style that can fit a range of situations, being dressed up or down with shoes, hair, and accessories. I normally pair it with these high-heeled mules from Sheba.


As finishing touches, I have added gold zipper-pull earrings, a gold anklet, and a ring with multiple round-cut and baguette diamonds.
