Bringing Sexy Back - the Little Black Dress

The Little Black Dress (LBD) has been drilled into our heads as a wardrobe staple for as long as we've been reading the fashion mags. But rarely do these spreads on the LBD include plus size options. Here's ours!

The basic wrap dress - great for work, dinner with friends in the city, even a date. I like how Igigi paired the dress with the tall boots (see the previous post on fall boots for a few options). This LBD can be dressed up a little bit with heels for a Friday night out. The best part about this LBD? It's only $67.

A more casual option, this retro black eyelet dress from Torrid. I could see it at work with a cute sweater/cardi/shrug over it and t-strap heels to complete the retro look.

The fabulous Kiyonna has a whole section devoted to LBDs, and these are my favorites. I've been eyeing this lace cocktail dress forever. Now that fall/winter is on the way, this could be worn out for a dressier evening out - you know, Butterfield 9 instead of Bennigans - and then to any sort of cocktail event/holiday party. Another one from Kiyonna is the waist tie dress. Okay, so it's not actually black, but it's still beautiful and that chocolate and magenta color combo is very flattering. Lisafashionista at the also fabulous BeautyPlusPower is a fan of Kiyonna and has posted on their pieces as well, including this dress. It's just so pretty, it warrants as many mentions as possible.

So go ahead. Get your sexy on. And not just because Justin Timberlake said so.
