Aussie Curves LBD

I'm just in time again but couldnt miss the little black dress theme. Being plus sized there are a few black dresses in my wardrobe. You have already seen one of my favourite black dresses here.
 Sometimes that's all you can find. But the concept of the special LBD is that it is one dress suited to all occasions. So of all the black dresses I own, this bodycon dress from Asos most fits the bill.
Yes you heard me. body con dress. That means it clings to all my curves whether I want it to or not. But here goes.

Styled with a hat and a necklace and sandals and I am ready to go to the beach, or at least a pool party or a picnic.

Dress ASOS
Hat bought in Queensland last year
Necklace Christmas gift
Sandals Saimon brand from Shoes on Scarborough. ( great little independant shoe shop for thodr of you who live near scarborough beach.
To be honest, I'm really not sure if I have the body confidence to show ALL of my curves like this.











But look at the difference by adding a cardie and different shoes.
Now all of a suddden I am ready for work. 
Cardie from Autograph a few years ago. Necklace from the Eumundie markets. Shoes from Evans.
I have a terrible habit of looking over my glasses at my clients. I really have to concentrate on not doing it.
Thats better. I love these frames.
But, imagine it's not a 30 degree day and you are going straight from work to dinner with that special someone or perhaps to a show. That's where the LBD comes into its own.
Lose the cardie, add a sparkly top, change your jewelry and shoes and we are ready for a night of dancing or a night at the opera.
Top from Torrid
Shoes Evans UK
purse Collette
Ring Lovisa
Can I just say how much I love these shoes from Evans. I dont really do heels but these are so comfy and stable yet pretty and sparkly, I could walk or dance in them all night.
So that my friends is my LBD. Pretty versatile and a very good buy. What do you think?

  2. Thanks Jeanie, it was a lot of fun putting together. The cardie was a bargain at $10 very end of season sale and the only one in the Autograph store in Moonee ponds. A very lucky find indeed
