Genny Iannucci (shoes provided by Town Shoes) came by the studio to show us why the little black dress (from Joeffer Caoc) is such a great staple to have in your closet.



Dressing up a simple black dress is as easy as throwing on a pair of heels, grabbing a clutch for your essentials and some chunky statement jewellery to drive home the look.  Choose one colour tone to keep everything unified.




Where to get it:
Back Detail Pumps from Nine West
Red Clutch from Nine West
Pendant Necklace from MM Crystal
Dress from Joeffer Caoc

Take your dress out for a day of shopping with the girls by throwing on a sweater and a belt to cinch your waist.  A large carryall is perfect to carry an extra pair of flats if your feet need a break from the cute ankle booties seen here on Angie.



Where to get it:
Red Lurex sweater from The Bay
Shoulder Bag from Nine West
Ankle booties from Winners
Buckle belt from Melanie Lyne


If you're going out for a night on the town - to the theatre or even just a nice meal, a great structured coat elevates your little black dress.  Accessories to complement the jacket play up the silver embroidery and details in the jacket.



Where to get it:
Embroidered Jacket from Peter Nygard at The Bay
Pearl necklace at The Bay
Pearl ring at The Bay
Clutch from Nine West


Funk up your black dress with some metallic accents in a sequins vest and strappy pair of heels if you're grabbing a drink with some friends or out for a night on the town.

When wearing an all black outfit, use texture to add depth and interest to a monochromatic outfit.  Show off your jewellery by wearing long black gloves to continue the theme.
