If you've got a little black dress, you can wear it almost anywhere. However, you'll need to dress it up differently to make it work. Here's how to do that.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    For work, pair your little black dress with nice heels and a jacket. You'll want to be professional, classy, and stylish.

  2. Step 2

    For night, pair your little black dress with high boots. Also, accessorize with some fun jewelry. A nice pair of earrings will go a long way with a simple black dress.

  3. Step 3

    Pair a simple black dress with a nice, silver or gold belt. This will add a nice accent which makes the dress work for a dinner with friends or another evening event.

  4. Step 4

    If the dress is the appropriate style, pair it with ballet flats and leggings for a casual daytime look.

  5. Step 5

    Wear a fancy, layered necklace with the dress. If you do this, keep your other accessories simple. You don't want your accessories to become overwhelming.

  6. Step 6

    Add color to your little black dress. Wear red shoes and carry a red purse to add a splash of color to an otherwise simple outfit.

  7. Step 7

    Add a pin to your dress to create a focal point. Accessorize with simple bracelets for a great look for a casual evening event.

  8. Step 8

    Pair the dress with an open sweater for a casual look. Pair with shoes that match the sweater for a cohesive look.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you accessorize, don't overaccessorize.

on 11/28/2008 Amazing what you can do with one little black dress! I would wear one to work with a scarf, then for my after work date, I'd take the scarf off and put on a sexy necklace!
