The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Little Black Dresses

It’s time to honor the iconic Little Black Dress. Not everyone has one in their closet, but this wardrobe staple is an essential piece to many so it deserves a little honoring, don’t you think? Thanks so much to all of you who shared your little black dresses for this edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. We appreciate you joining our fun!

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style and myself. Every month, we invite you to share a photo or two of your Good (or Bad) Buy items that fit the stated theme. We ask that you also provide a short description explaining if the item you are sharing was a Good Buy or one that you will be saying Good-Bye to (formerly known as Bad Buys). Nancy and I will both publish a round up post featuring all of the submissions on the 15th of each month.

Anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a short description via email. You do not have to be a blogger to join. Anyone is welcome! We will give you the theme for the next month at the conclusion of each post. Photos will be due to us by the 10th of the month. 

If you sent me a photo, but do not see it in my post, be sure to check Nancy’s post. If you don’t see your photo in either post, please let us know right away and we will add it. Sometimes the submissions get lost in the shuffle.

“In my mind, a little black dress is a lot shorter than this one, but I really don’t have any short dresses. And while I am typing I am thinking, gosh I received a pre loved one two weeks ago… But I forgot about it because it is too short…I will show that one soon on my blog then. But this shirtdress is a Good Buy. I don’t like shirtdresses, but this one is great. Love the details on the shoulder and the faux little pockets. You see, there is something little about this black dress anyway!”

“This is one of the only black dresses I have anymore (ok, I lie, I might have another), but Lesley gave this to me and I do wear it occasionally. Especially to show off these fabulous boots.
I wore this for a group of women that call themselves Black and Bling, so I understood the assignment, right?”

“I liked this black dress from Joe Brown’s very much, but unfortunately in one of my mad sessions of closet purging, it got given away! So it has to qualify as a Goodbye.”

“I thought this good buy/good bye would be fairly easy, but it was more of a challenge for me than I imagined. I have quite a few black separates; skirts, pants and a few black tops and sweaters, but my selection of black dresses is very paltry! Both of these photos are black dresses used as a layer.
My first outfit is a black slip dress with a plum colored semi-sheer pullover layered over it. I would say this dress was a good buy. I have had it for a long time, and it is very versatile. Although I don’t wear it very often, it is a classic style and a wardrobe basic. A keeper!”

“My little black dress, but not really mine, I had to borrow it from a friend. I think this dress looks better on my friend but she wouldn’t let me take her photo, so this is the best it gets.”

“I found this little black dress by Zara on a thrifting adventure four years ago. As you can see, I have worn it many times and styled it in many different ways, making it an extremely Good Buy!”
