As someone who lives in skirts and/or pants, it's a breath of fresh air to be wearing a dress - let alone a figure-hugging one! However, with Christmas and New Year parties looming around the corner, it is easy to see why I'm venturing out of my comfort zone a little more this time, but still sticking to the classic black, which makes up about 40% of my wardrobe (no joke). The last time I wrote about a little black dress was about 15 months ago, and this time I've found the perfect upgrade. The price is a little (haha, 'a little') steep, but I believe in investing in timeless, classic pieces, and I'm confident that this perfect laced Nicholas number will be a crowd favorite and wardrobe staple for years to come.
