The ubiquitous little black dress; the one piece every woman should own. It can take you from meetings to happy hour. The LBD is an easy, pulled together piece that works both on days when you don’t know what to wear and when you need to shine.

In this week’s Cubicle Chic, I’ll show you three styling options for this super functional wardrobe necessity. P.S. the featured dress is on sale right now at Mango!

A little black dress is the perfect canvas to make a statement necklace, like this one from Humble Chic, really shine. Against the neutral background, the eye is more tuned into other details. Throw on some cobalt pumps to create a coordinating appearance. Since the focus of the outfit is the necklace and shoes, top the look off with simpler accessories.

For a sweet, yet edgy look, mix a preppy striped blazer with tough zippered and studded accessories. Another great fall trend is the exposed zipper bootie. And these peep toes are great for transitioning into the fall.

If you’re going for pure sophistication, try incorporating accessories in fall’s hottest color, burgundy. Start off with this luxurious faux croc skin bag from H&M, mix in a printed scarf and glossy pumps. On their own, each piece is a statement, but put together they create a truly show-stopping outfit. I am seriously obsessed with this outfit for fall!

How do you wear your basic little black dress in an interesting way? Do you have a favorite LBD you recycle over and over?
