Petite Fashion Challenge #7 – The Little Black Dress

Posted on April 28, 2011November 23, 2014 by Elaine

If you’re unfamiliar with the Petite Fashion Challenge go see the very first post proposing the idea by Jean of Extra Petite.

This month’s challenge is hosted by the gorgeous Jessy of The Little Dust Princess.

A little black dress (LBD) is essential in every woman’s wardrobe. It’s always great for back-up if you run out of outfit ideas for a night out. Adding a pop of colour to your LBD will change up its look and make your dress a little less boring.

For this challenge, add a pop of colour (or two) to your little black dress to change up the look. You could add anything from an accessory to a blazer, or even nail polish!

So I forgot about this challenge until the other day when Khatu kindly tweeted about it.  I literally pulled my LBD out of my closet without a thought about what I was going to do.  Then I looked down at my nails.  YESSSS!!  After WEEKS of bare nails for some reason I painted them a bright pink this week with the polish from this post.

I grabbed a colourful scarf and complementary earrings and voila –  a less boring LBD.

LBD: Dynamite (Canadian Store) size XS OLD!
Scarf: mark by Avon
Jewellery:  Avon
Shoes:  Nine West size 7
Nail Polish:  mark by Avon
So, yes I should have worn black shoes or if I had them HOT PINK shoes would be great with this outfit, but the only black heels I have are very low and would not go with this length of dress at all.
Haha, here are a couple of shots of my nails:

  • You *know* I had to! Once I had my wedding hair & makeup trial, I put the look TO WORKKK! ✏️ To get a sense of how my look would perform on my wedding day, I did: ✅ a humidity test ✅ a transfer test ✅ a kiss test ✅ a food test ✅ a crying test ✅ an exertion test It was a ton of fun and really gave me a sense of how the look would handle the various stresses of a wedding day. The tests showed what worked well and where we needed to make some small
