OG LBD

The NYC skyline needs no accessorizing, especially as day turns to evening. It’s a magical sight that never gets old for me. It’s amazing; we think we need so much and yet a view or a sunset can be enough to stop time. It’s as if the illuminated skyline puts all the roiling mental activity to bed, even if for a few moments. Such a gift, and we get it every day.
A classic LBD never disappoints, making it the perfect gold standard evening look against the backdrop of an NYC rooftop view. Let’s face it; a little black dress is just that. It’s reliable in its chic sexiness. What can make it more distinguishing are the details. It’s safe to assume that at any event, especially in Manhattan, there will be a bunch of women wearing an LBD, so I look for pops of tailoring that will set mine apart. Even in black I don’t wish to blend into the crowd. The top of this dress is cut on an angle and held up by a single diagonal spaghetti strap. The dress is evening length with a high side slit. It’s satin and bias cut. I mixed up the look with a sheer blue oversized top when I needed some breeze coverage, a nice change from typical toppers. I do love a good blazer, though; cropped, boyfriend, or tuxedo styles all work here. A black dress has built in edge that can carry a look. It, like our aforementioned city skyline, needs nothing else. It’s a whole mood on its own.
