The Closet Workhorse

Jacket – Wilsons Leather | Blazer – Gibson via Nordstrom Rack | Scarf – H&M via Poshmark | Dress – The Limited | Boots – Cole Haan
Do you have a black dress in your closet? One that can be dressed up or down? If not, I highly recommend getting one. I don’t really like to make lists of items that you HAVE to have in your closet because everyone’s lifestyle and favorite looks are different. But a versatile black dress? It’s pretty hard to find a woman who couldn’t benefit from having one.
Take this one for example. I’ve also worn it two other ways since I started this blog. Anything you can wear in both June and October just by switching up the accessories is a closet workhorse for sure.
Do you have a versatile black dress? Would you want to own one?

I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying. 
Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.
Ever since I bought this tie-neck top I have been wanting to pair it with these pants. 
I am not so much a fashion conscious person, but I do have a versatile black dress. Very helpful thing to own.
Oh wow, you are just having a killer week with your outfits! I really like your layering here with the scarf, blazer and then the leather jacket over the blazer. I’d never thought to layer a leather jacket over a blazer, it seems like a genius way to stay warm! (I’m so going to do this now.) I think I like most of all how you took varying shades of gray and black to create the outfit, but each piece really stands out and doesn’t get lost. I am just loving all of your fall looks!
Thank you for the lovely compliments!
I desperately need a little black dress. There have been far too many occasions where I’ve needed something to wear and thought, “You know, a little black dress would be perfect for this. Tooooo bad I don’t have one.” Haha. I’m hoping to spend some time downtown tomorrow anyway…maybe if I’m feeling ambitious I’ll knock that off my fashion bucket list
The new Burlington Coat Factory (which has way more than coats) is open now if you want to check it out. It’s on State between Madison and Washington.
I have a few black dresses! You can’t have too many, er… right?!
But how many of them do you actually wear?
