Black lace dress, how to style it

This post is also available in: Italiano (Italian)

The black lace dress is a classic among the little black dresses. Today I explain how to style it by making it less anonymous. In short … abund with colors!

The black lace dress is definitely the least trivial among the little black dresses.

What I wear in these photos is even more special thanks to the off-the-shoulder neckline and the bell sleeves. I found it on Grace Karin and it’s a perfect cocktail dress.

But even the little black lace dress may become boring if not combined with special accessories.

And, as you all know, I do not like simplicity and above all I detest boredom even if I can live with it.

So how do we combine a simple little black lace dress and how do we make the look less discreet?

Just give in with colored accessories and, if you want, a little noisy ones.

I chose a pair of multicolor pumps and the Gucci Sylvie bag with flower print.

The shoes, I realize, are a kind of punch in the eye because in addition to being purple, red and green they also have the golden rim. And yet … yet they all ask me where I got them, too bad that I do not really remember it!

The Sylvie bag by Gucci, on the other hand, I bought it last year in an exhilarating adventure featuring the husband!

As jewelry, I chose a pair of earrings and an ethno-chic bracelet by Isla Jewellery, just to make sure I do not go unnoticed.

Here is how a simple little black lace dress turns into a glam and whimsical look.

This look is suitable for a cocktail dress code, but is not suitable for a dress code black tie.

And speaking of dress code, let me introduce you to the location of these shots that you will also see in other posts.

It is Villa Dafne Majestic, a beautiful villa immersed in the green of northern Rome.

Here you can organize events such as gala dinners, weddings, divorce parties …. yes yes you got it right and we’ll talk about it in one of the next posts!

I thank Flavia, the director, for making the villa available and for patiently waiting for me to take all the pictures.
