If you have been following along here for awhile, you know my love for pastels, florals and color for spring fashion. Theres just something about spring and summer that just breathe new life and brightens spirits and I love it. A black dress isn’t something I would typically gravitate towards, but I have found that versatile piece likes this can be styled so many different ways that its definitely a staple piece to add to your wardrobe. Today I want to show you how to take one item in your closet, in my case this little black midi dress, and style it multiple different ways.
7 Ways to Style a Black Midi Dress
Click here to see my two minute video that takes you through how I styled this LBD in 7 different ways! Each of these items are so versatile and can take your look from summer casual to date night ready! Hopefully this will inspire you to get creative with your wardrobe and help you see how to take a look from day to night. All the sources are linked below!
Take a Look from Day To Night with Accessories
The Little Black dress- This midi length black dress I’m wearing is $20 from Slaydon & Rose. Its super soft and a perfect dress to throw on and go! Use code “Dorothypro” at checkout for a discount. I also found two other black dresses that I thought were great deals and linked them here and here.
Crossbody Bag- This straw bag is $24 and is the perfect purse for summer. I also found this option too. As far as I’m concerned, the straw bag trend can stick around for awhile… I am loving it!
Blue Jean Jacket– I talked all about this jean jacket on my amazon favorites blog post and could go on and on about how awesome it is. It’s stretchy, comes in multiple washes and great quality- all for under $30!
Fedora Hat- This is my all time favorite “hipster” hat, if you will. 😉 Its a great hat to really pull together a look and plus, covers up any bad hair day like a charm!
Kimono- I LOVE this sheer floral kimono cardigan! I wear it over dresses but also often pair it with jeans and a tee for a more casual look. I also found these kimonos that come in multiple styles and prints for under $16. Can’t beat that!
Pretty lip color- If you’ve been following me a while, you know this lip liner and lipstick duo is one of my favorites. This is the lipstick I am putting on in the video. It’s a gorgeous pop of color and looks great on many skin types. You can see my other top makeup favorites here.
Head/Purse Scarf- I always get questions about this scarf when I wear it in my hair, around my neck or on my purse. As you can figure, its also a piece you can style so many different ways and I love the colors!
Straw Hat– love the style of this hat and the way it looks on- super cute!
Platform Wedges- I am loving that the platform sandals trend is back with a vengeance. I love the added height and that I can wear them all day comfortably. They are heels, but still keep it casual. I also found these other platforms for a great option and price on Amazon.

Sneakers- take the look ultra casual by slipping on some white sneakers like these off-white and gold ones. I love that these are neutral but have the gold detail on the back to jazz them up.
Cognac Slides– I love these slide on sandals and feel like they go with everything. I also found these flats at a great deal as another neutral option!
Front Zipper Heels- (similar) are great to throw on with the outfit to dress it up!
Leopard clutch- leopards a neutral, right? 😉 This is the perfect little clutch to bring along for a date night or night out. I use mine regularly and love that pop of sass it gives to any outfit.
