What it is: Little black dress, H&M, $40

How to wear it: This figure fitting knee-length dress is a whole lotta LBD for less! Perfect for day or night, this black beauty, that's made from stretch crepe, will hug your curves in all the right places and with a jersey lining it's sure to stay smooth against your skin. At work sport it under a blazer with pointy black pumps and hair in a simple low bun. Or, shake it up and take this dress out dancing and pair it with a metallic belt, stack of gold bangles and a sexy set of soft beachy waves.

Why I love it: Truth be told, I am not really one to wear anything fitted. I like my clothes a little looser but this black bombshell dress from is forgiving in all the right places and makes me feel like a million bucks! I love the double front pleats (which help keep the tummy tucked) and the sexy, but office-appropriate, little capped sleeves. I am dressing it up this weekend and wearing it to a wedding paired with an over-the-top statement necklace, patent single sole stilettos and a sock bun!
