Its silhouette has changed over the years, but the Little Black Dress will forever be a key fashion staple in a woman’s wardrobe. The L.B.D. is simple yet classic and has proven to stand the test of time with it’s versatility and sophistication. Nate & I had “dressed up” date night on Saturday and I wanted to wear something simple, yet special so I turned to this Little Black Dress, but if I tell you it was purchased a little over 8 years ago, would you believe me?
I purchased this dress on sale at Bloomingdales in 2004 and it’s amazing that from time to time when I don’t know what to wear, I can always count on it. This poor little dress has seriously been through a lot and I almost threw it away a few times (not to mentioned it almost got shipped to Vietnam and was left in my garage for months), but I’m glad it always find its way back to me! I guess it’s just meant to be. I don’t think I can say that about many of the colorful dresses in my wardrobe… I think every woman should have a perfect go-to black dress in her closet. Since the Little Black Dress can sometimes be bland, look for one with details such as an interesting neckline, unique sleeves or pretty embellishments or texture. You can also add color with accessories or makeup like red lips. :)
i love the very noeud! you look gorgeous!

There’s a portuguese saying: “Com um vestido preto nunca me comprometo”. Translated it’s something like: “With a black dress I’ll never get it wrong” (english doesn’t do the expression justice) and it’s so true.
you look flawless!
Stunning! The dress is so elegant and chic.

so true – I also have a LBD that I’ve had for about 10 years and it’s still chic – not so many pieces that will last the test of time like that

Hi KT,
I think you look beautiful in this dress and I am shock it’s 8 years old! the lbd is for sure timeless and your dress here just proved it.
Ok, where do I start. I am amazed by you everytime. Seriously, do you ever have a bad day? LOL. I love this little LBD on you. It really fits you like a glove. Even after 8 years of owning it, it still fit you that amazing? Lucky you cause nothing I own 8 years ago still fits! :)
Sweet simple, classic.
I love date nights, especially mandated “dressed up” date nights. ;) You look so pretty, KT–loving the LBD and the red lipstick combo… effortlessly chic and classic for years, even generations to come. I really like you kept the rest of your jewelry simple and that little black and gold box clutch is cute!
xo,

Such a feminine look. Love it!
Really? 8 years? It looks great! I don’t think I look as good in things as I did 8 years ago! This is gorgeous. I also agree about the colored dress thing. I go to my LBD way before anything else I own.
Wow 8 years ago? It fit you like a glove and I agree, every woman should have at least one LBD in her closet!
The LBD looks stunning on you. I also love your clutch. It finishes off the outfit perfectly :-)

You have the perfect curve to pull off such cute sexy LBD!! Never change a thing on yourself! Don’t you just love something you bought/invested so long ago and still works until today? :)
You can never go wrong with a good LBD, and this one has clearly proven its worth, having stood the test of time for eight years. It still fits you like a glove! Love the clutch you paired with it – you are one gorgeous lady :)

Love your clutch and LBD! Amazing, classy and gorgeous :)
