From the moment Laura Lee asked me to help her with the Society Stylist’s LBD experiment, I became worried that I wasn’t “fashionable” enough for this photo shoot. I mean– the Vogue-worthy women that have participated in this little black dress experience surely know their way around trendy accessories!

When I was tapped on the shoulder to participate in the fabulous stylist-to-the-stars Valerie Elizabeth’s Little Black Dress Experiment, I was thrilled.  I would be representing the Laura Lee Designs team in New York City.  The only problem was, I was leaving for a trip to Bermuda after our ’shoot’ and had a million things on my mind to get done before I hit the road.  ”How should I style it?” “Do I have room to pack my sky-high stilettos?” “Is this thing even gonna fit??”  I realized right then, that I had to ditch my lavender jacquard cropped jacket and satin Lela Rose pumps for my go-to, all-around versatile stylistic stand-bys.

It’s me Suvd Tsolmon, blogging about my second experience with the LBD. I adore fall as much as I love clothing, so this time I styled the LBD getting inspired by a rainy fall day. I layered a deep blue ruffled top from Urban Outfitters under and a deep blue leather jacket from Bebe over the LBD. Next, I added my sassy t-strap pump from Bakers. Lastly, I chose the fully beaded “M2″ bag from Laura Lee Designs – perfect addition with my rain inspired look. Once again, I am amazed how much the beauty of the shirtdress can increase when accessorized properly.

I will be waiting for that first chilly/rainy day so that I can rock my LBD with my leather jacket.
