{Ann Taylor dress, Michele watch, Vintage cardigan, Forever 21 headband, Aldo pumps}
When I found out that Fashion Chalet was invited to join this remarkable challenge I couldn't wait to try on the dress. The Little Black Dress is an essential, classic and iconic piece for any woman's wardrobe. So much so that it has even coined the acronym, LBD.
I first wanted to pair it with ballet flats. When the dress finally arrived I realized that with its longer length hem, a heel would not only better elongate the leg but also complement the sophisticated design. Red is my favorite color to play with whenever I want to add a bit of zing to my look. Voila, the red belt.

To see this dress previously worn in 22 distinct ways, you can check them out here. And keep checking back, as this experiment runs through August 31st.
You can peruse the list of SPONSORS for The Little Black Dress Tours America to follow and fan them on Twitter and Facebook.
Enjoy 20% OFF any purchases over $100 from Ann Taylor


*DISCLOSURE: Everyone in the Little Black Dress "tour" is participating voluntarily and no one- including me- is being financially compensated for their involvement. I will note however that each blogger is being provided the Ann Taylor dress to style for her look as well as a number of gifts from tour sponsors to include in her look or review separately, during the month of August.

From your secret male fan...husband of the of designer: This outfit really draws me in....I grew up around Ann Taylor and Brooks Brothers and never thought they would be accepted in "fashion circles." Too safe. Too conservative. But really, beauty and elegance are often found in tradition. Why? Because if a trend survives long enough to be "traditional" then it has aesthetic merit.
My biggest fantasy is to wake up one day and see shots of you buying Brooks Brothers then spicing them up as you are capable of doing.
Then maybe hit.....Eljo's in Charlottesville Virgina.
I know penny loafers are asking a lot....but I bet you could craft a chic look around them. Consider it a gentle, humorous challenge.
