As opposed to the little black dress the simple black dress for me is a bit more casual and can be worn a multitude of different ways. Yesterday for instance I paired my simple black dress with tall brown boots, a floral scarf and a little beige sweater/cardigan. It look instantly pulled together, comfy, yet office appropriate for a Monday with no meetings in sight. The dress pictured and linked is very similar to the one I wore from Old Navy that I picked up a couple of summers back for $10!! The scarf is identical and I love it! I wear it with a lot of items in my closet. The sweater/cardi is similar in color and I love how comfy yet pulled together it is. The boots are similar as well in color and style.
