What’s the alternative to the lbd? It’s the lbj! Now, unless you want to see a bunch of pictures of LeBron James, DO NOT type in #lbj on Instagram! Take my word for it! I love a classic black jumpsuit just as much as I do a Little Black Dress. It’s a great wardrobe staple to have, and can be dressed up or down, and be worn to any type of venue. A black jumpsuit is also great for packing and taking on a trip, as it’s one complete outfit. Anything to make life easier is always a plus in my world. What I love about this beauty is the open, lace-up waist. It really updates this classic jumpsuit. I also love the sultry plunging neckline, as well. These details really add up and make this quite the interesting piece. This Little Black Jumpsuit is very chic.

My mid-section is not my most flattering area. And even if it was, at my age, unless you are wearing a high waisted skirt and a cropped top that meets it, you really shouldn’t be doing anything cropped that’s going to expose that particular area. This jumpsuit design is perfect as the lace-up detail hits high on the waist and gives just that peek of skin. This jumpsuit is lined, and is also a very rich, heavier fabric. I probably would not wear this to an outdoor evening event during the summer .. because of how heavy the fabric is. But for anything indoors, where the air-conditioning is full throttle, it would be perfect. We will be in NYC next week and going to the theatre. You just know it is going to feel like a refrigerator in there …  such a pet-peeve of mine. I want to be stylish, but I also NEED to be warm and comfortable to enjoy myself. This jumpsuit will be PERFECT! This Little Black Jumpsuit could easily be worn year round.

Let’s not forget my love for nude shoes. There is a time and a place for black shoes. For me, it is usually a pointy toe heel, booties or boots … especially over-the-knee … which will be here before you know it! But there is nothing like a nude shoe to add length to your body, give the illusion of leaner legs and really make your outfit a statement. Read this blog post, here to find out more on nude shoes.

Have a Great Thursday! See you on Snapchat!

    Wow, what a stunner! You manage to look classic and updated, sexy, and sophisticated! Btw, what am I supposed to do with my white shoes now that you’ve shown me the light, lol? I have two brand new pairs that I bought to wear with white before I realized, through you, that I actually needed several pairs of nude! I always appreciate your fashion tips; sure wish I could wear this gorgeous piece!!

      Thanks Amy! As for the shoes, with your long, lean model’ legs … I would say you are the exception to the rule. 😉 White shoes are very on-trend this season. A wardrobe of all the neutrals is important … white, black, nude .. but for the majority of women … 9 out of 10 times, go with nude over black .. if long and lean is the goal!! Thanks again Amy! You are so responsive to all I do, and much appreciation and love back at you for it!!! xx

    Oh how I LOVE this look! Simply Stunning, yet a little Rock & Roll! This curvy girl won’t fit into this piece, but you better believe I’m on the lookout for something similar that I can be a knockout in!

    Always, always appreciate your tips! I would love to see a side by side of an outfit with a nude heel vs. a black heel. You’re right, SO many of us would have thought to immediately slip on the black heel, but nude with this absolutely works!

      Thanks Tiffany! Yes, there is always something out there for all body styles! I did actually put on a pointy toe heel with this and it looked fabulous .. but the nude really made the jumpsuit POP! Had to go with it! In the fall + winter, however … I would opt for the black pointy-toe. Thanks for your comment .. much appreciated!!! xx

    Great outfit, love the jumpsuit and the accessories! The animal print handbag suggestion is a nice touch. The choker and bracelets add a nice touch of elegance. Thanks for sharing the shapewear suggestion as well. The red lip looks amazing too! Overall, great post.
