What Karl Lagerfeld Says.......

(Via Inslee)

According to Karl Lagerfeld, the mastermind at Chanel, every woman should own a little black dress (LBD). I couldn't agree more. As pictured above, one of my fave illustrators, Inslee, shows how one simple dress can go from the boardroom to the ballroom. It's all about how you style these wardrobe staples. As our Summer winds down and those September invites arrive, a LBD is the perfect way to transition into Fall. Here are 14 fabulous finds that would make Mr. Lagerfeld proud.

Vegan Leather Corset Sheath
Faux but fabulous! Love how it is styled here, but easily could be worn with boots in Fall or Winter.

Anthropologie

The Emily Dress by Haney
I don't have enough superlatives for this dress. One word says it all. Wow! 
Net-a-Porter

Tiny Dancer Wrap Dress
This super lightweight fit and flare dress works from the beach (as a coverup) to the bistro. Fun to layer over leggings or pair with boots. I think you will love the price point!
Free People

Coba Sleeveless Dress
I have a certain client in mind in selecting this dress. Do you know who you are? This style is living proof that one can be covered and still sexy.
ASOS

Missy Skins Iris Leather Dress
This dress isn't for everyone, but for those who dare, you always have something fun to wear in your closet. Oh, and it is said to be the softest dress ever!
