This week I got sent this lovely little black dress from Sainsbury’s to style up over the festive season.
A black dress is one of my wardrobe essentials, especially at Christmas. A black dress can go with almost anything..

Each year I like to invest in a quality and stylish black dress, recycling my old one. I like the feel of a new outfit. Perfect to clear those Winter blues. I only need one, as I will make it last me all the way through to Summer. Unless I see another one (or two) in the January sales!!
The good thing about a little black dress is you can style it in so many ways. Without it looking noticeably the same. Often I will wear the same dress, yet styled differently and my friends think I have had a new outfit. If you need a go to dress for an unplanned night out, or an afternoon shopping trip you cannot go wrong.
A few ideas:
For a night out at Christmas you can add bright coloured shoes, faux fur or lots of sparkles. An afternoon shopping trip is perfect for layering it up with a chunky cardigan and thick tights. Scarfs and statement jewellery can also make it look so different. Boots also, style it up perfectly.
About the dress:
It has sweet short sleeves and an oversized round neckline. A cinched waist and a shaped, figure hugging fit, as well as a tight ribbed effect to the soft material for a really sleek look. The thing I love most about this dress is that it stretches too. Room for lots of mince pies over Christmas!!
It looks great with my red stilettos and over size tartan wrap scarf.
Do you have a go to little black dress?

The black dress looks fantastic with the tartan shawl/blanket scarf around it. Perfect for NY Eve. I also love your tree, Claire. Did you do a Christmas Home Tour yet? I would love to see it.I posted part one last week and I am posting part two of my Christmas Home Tour, today.
Hi Ada, thanks for the lovely comment 🙂 Aww I have just painted my living room, had some new things and put my tree up. I will share it over the next few days..
It's looks like a very stylish and chic black dress! See, if my mummy had it she would dress all grungy and vintage with it! The blanket scarf is a nice touch! #TriedTested x
That sounds a lovely outfit too 🙂
What a great dress! I love the versatility that comes with a LBD. Yours is lovely. Love that scarf too!Teawww.whatmamawear.blogspot.ca

I never think to look in Sainsburys for clothing. This looks like such a lovely dress x #triedtested
Thanks, I have some beautiful clothes from Sainsburys, worth taking a look 🙂
What a gorgeous dress – you really can't beat the LBD can you. I love your scarf too. Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested over the course of this year! Have a wonderful Christmas x
Thanks for hosting and stopping by :)Merry Christmas x
It loooks really beautiful on you! I like the way you've styled it! To be honest, I don't wear an LDB that often (because I wear long black dresses so often for concerts) but I enjoyed wearing mine with a lacy Victoriana Sweater under it to warm it up (it is a skater dress style!) x
Thanks Kezzie, it sounds lovely how you styled yours 🙂
I love the tartan wrap for Christmas #TriedTested
Aww thank you Fiona 🙂
