THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS

Wednesday, 1 August 2012


Ines de la Fressange
Chanel


I adore a little black dress and I have quite a few
in my wardrobe...
they are perfect...and always look
timeless
and
elegant.


The little black dress actress, Teri Hatcher wore to an
event in Salzburg yesterday
is definitely on my
wish list...
















And oh, so 
GLAMOROUS...




And
ELEGANT...











And my absolute
FAVOURITE
iconic black dress 
by
Hubert Givenchy




Audrey Hepburn


The simplicity and elegance of this design
is truly timeless but nobody could possibly wear it
quite as well as
Ms. Hepburn.

There are so many beautiful-colorful-sparkly-beaded-sequin-fringy-embellished dresses out there, but there is NOTHING quite so elegant on a woman as a little black dress, now is there? These are all perfect examples of that! Maybe it's because we all love what an LBD can do for any fiqure and we just feel more self-confident.

You're absolutely right Lee Ann...we all seem to feel that extra bit confident wearing our little black dresses;
so many styles to choose from for all figures and they knock spots off any little sparkly dresses for sheer elegance.
Thanks for popping by, lovely to hear from you.

Beautiful post Catherine....I love Teri Hatcher's dress, very elegant.

And the video you sent....I made it all the way to 45 seconds before I cried LOL!! It was absolutely beautiful...thank you so much for sharing that. My daughter is 11, she will start secondary school this September....lots of changes ahead for both of us.

More Olympic excitement today....Oh, I wish I had been a rower, such wonderful scenes, the girls were AMAZING!!! I never want it to end :)

My favourite in black is definitely Inès de la Fressange but I have always loved that photo of Marylin too. Great post !

Good morning, beautiful!

I must have about 5 little black dresses and I adore each one. I am with Hepburn here; simple is enough for me. The rest of the radiance comes from the woman wearing the dress. Accessories? A simple strand of pearls, a pair of diamond studs or just a confident smile...yes, that is good enough for me.....Anita

Catherine Robinson said...

@The Silver Bunny...thanks for the follow ;-) yes, I too love the photo of Ines...so elegant.
Thanks for dropping by.

Catherine Robinson said...

Hi Anya...I agree to...who can wear a LBD better than Ms. Hepburn ;-) Enjoying the Olympics, Anya...but summer, we're not really having, sadly.
