The Ultimate LBD (Little Black Dress) + Mahogany Closet Mondays Fashion Link + GIVEAWAY

In the past I have featured a couple LBD (Little Black Dress) outfits. You may remember this nude illusion LBD, this one shoulder LBD, this asymmetrical LBD, or this sequin LBD. The little black dress is a wardrobe staple for sure. It's slimming, it goes with everything, perfect for a monotone look or you can add a pop of color. And this dress to me feels like the ultimate LBD. I love the length, the fit, the bardot off the shoulder neckline. It's perfect for any cocktail attire event. You can even pull the shoulder straps up to create a different look. Super clexy, classy and sexy all at the same time. :-)

Makeup: When I first saw this lipstick I thought it was way too dark and that I would hate it on me and never want to wear it. But I have been pleasantly surprised. I really love it. It's not an everyday color for me, but I pull it out whenever I want to vamp up a look and give it a little extra edge. This lipstick is accurately called Vamp It UP. It's one of the Wet N Wild Mega Last Lip Colors. I love these lipsticks. They last, stay on well and only cost about $2. You can often get them online for less and they work, look and feel like they are way more expensive. 

Budget outfit details: I got the dress on sale at ASOS.com for $31.50. The clutch I first saw at the Aldo Outlet in Pleasanton, CA and fell in love. Later I went online and found it on sale at Aldo.com for $29 including shipping. The shoes I got from DB shoes for about $25. So the whole outfit was under $100.

So this week's Featured Fashionta picks seems to be all about the maxi wrap dress. Both ladies look lovely in their beautiful flowing dresses.

Fashion and Cookies

Vale of Fashion and Cookies is one of my favorite style bloggers. She produces great looks week after week and this week is no exception. This style and print look great on her.

I just love how Ema is rocking this floral maxi. Not only is she wearing this fabulous dress, but her hair and handbag look amazing too.

LWD + Giveaway +Mahogany Closet Mondays Fashion Link Up

I got this LWD, little white dress on sale at ASOS.com. Thought it was the perfect opportunity to rock my black and white polka dot strappy heels (I wore the snake skin version in this post) and this black and white houndstooth print clutch I made. Both I have had for a little while now, I think they are so cute, but just haven't had the opportunity to wear them yet. Plus, I usually try to keep one or two cute white dresses in my closet just in case there is a white party. There is usually at least one white theme party a year I attend. And it is always seems so hard to find a white outfit when you actually need one. So "if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready". :-)

Bedget outfit alert - Dress was $20 (now down to $14). Shoes $20 has part of the sales they always offer new customers. And purse I made. I probably spent about $10 on additional fabric and also used other materials I already had. So altogether this is about a $50 outfit.

Dress - ASOS // Shoes - Verity Shoe @ Justfab //Clutch - DIY
