White Pearl Salon Fashion Blog: LITTLE BLACK DRESS, PART II by Lake Palen

See my previous post: Little Black Dress, Part I

As in my post last week, today's take on the LBD comes from Corvus, a store known particularly for it's darker themed creations. Where last week's turtleneck dress provided a lot of coverage, this strapless mini shows a good bit more skin while still being modest enough that you will not be embarrassed to wear it, although I do suggest adding some BoM panties.

For a while, this has been my most frequently worn dress. I like the lines created by the gathering of the fabric via the laces running down the sides, which end in bows tied at the hemline. This adds some nice visual interest that differentiates it from many strapless sheaths.

I've paired it with high-heeled mules from Utopia@Design. The shoes and boots from Utopia@Design are sold in fatpacks for a very reasonable price. The included HUDs offer a variety of pre-selected color combinations but also allow you to choose colors for the different parts of the shoe. Most of the ones I have also let you select custom tints via a color picker, so you can dye your shoes to match any outfit.

I've rounded out this outfit with a few accessories. The earrings are caged hearts with tiny locks from EarthStones. Also from EarthStones is a poison locket ring that doubles as a tiny photo album capable of storing more than one hundred photos. Finally, I'm wearing a locket from a multiple layered necklace by (Yummy).
