The little black dress is a classic and hence a sure investment, if you want a dress for the many occasions. At this time, last year, I wrote an article about it. (see it here), and which Norwegian versions you should choose then. This year I want to inspire you to wear it in so many ways you can stretch it through the whole festive season, ig you want.

Here I’ve found all that glimmers in my closet and composed and party-ready outfit for those big occasions. Personally I like glitter and glam for those pre-Christmas parties or New Years Eve, but I don’t shy away from some everyday glitter, if I’m in the mood for that.

With a yellow turtleneck and a blazer, the dress gets toned down for a Christmas lunch at the office, or an important business meeting. If yellow is not your colour, find the one for you, that makes you shine.

A slim, black dress like this, can easily be used as a skirt. Whichever cardigan – or sweater for that matter – can be used over, and hence tones down the festive look. In that way you are dressed for a girlfriend coffee-date or Christmas shopping.

Last, but no least, your can meak the dress prim and proper, but stil party ready, by adding a buttoned-up shirt or blouse. Personally I would have opted for this, for the family-dinner, or another important arrangement at work.

Good luck with your dress! I hope I inspired you to find many new options for yours.
