Have you guys ever heard the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? Well, that’s the theme for today’s post. I have to admit that I am insanely a creature of habit and like to stick to what I know! Last summer I decided to embrace my curves and check out the body-con trend, and I must say – I definitely liked it! My first experience was with this Leith ruched dress from Nordstrom and I fell in love! I thought it was so nice, that I decided to buy it twice ;)… in black! I figured since it fit me so well, why not keep it going – just in different colors! Not all body-con dresses fit me the same, so buying this little black dress was a sure thing!
I always mention items I think every girl needs to have in her closet, and a little black dress is definitely one of them (in fact, I have a few – seen here and here). I love this little black dress because it’s super simple, but has a bit of an edge with the split hem. The material is also pretty thick, so it’s perfect for those chillier temperatures. When it’s gets cooler, I’m totally styling it with my favorite leather jacket and black booties.
Something else that drew me in? The price point! This little black dress is less than $60, which is a steal for such high quality! It also comes in long-sleeved for those not sold on the tank version!
