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