I had one on NYE and felt so fly! I saw many other gorgeous ladies wearing them and I had to give them their props. With Inauguration around the corner, I'm sure I will see plenty struting around the DMV! The LBD is an essential in every woman's closet. It is chic, it is classic, it's easy and it's fun! I guess my main concern is, how do I avoid looking like every other chick that is wearing an LBD?
The key is to- yes, accessorize my good friends! Accessories give you individuality and an added level of spunk! Don't be afraid to experiment with:
- Animal print shoes and bags/clutches
- Silver, gold or jeweled earrings
- A splash of color
- Long necklaces
- Scarves
- Choker necklaces
- Leather bomber jackets
- High-waisted belts
- Bracelets and
- Rings
Now I wouldn't recommend that you wear all of these accessories at one time, but pick a few and have some fun. If you want to maintain a classic look try a nice choker and stud earrings with classic black pumps.
If you want to have more fun, wear red shoes with a zebra clutch and large silver earrings. You'll be glad that you did!
NYE I sported a sweatheart neck, bubble dress by RubyRox (great inexpensive party dresses...Plus sizes featured as well) that had a cute little bow in the middle. I wore two multistand necklaces, red pumps, yellow clutch and small rhinestone earrings to achieve the look I wanted...young, fresh, but classic.
On the occasion below I wore the LBD with a trendy pink and black scarf, brown vintage leather bomber (Salvation Army) and black ankle boots.
Here are some pics of friends that are sporting those LBDs oh so well!

Great post. The LBD is definitely timeless and you can never go wrong with her. She can be updated to look fashion forward or toned down to give a more classic look.
I love my LBD! I think the key is to invest in a great (very versatile) LBD that will last a while and jazz it up with inexpensive items like you suggest.
