I own a few different black dresses but this one is a simple spaghetti strap soft dress that I go back to quite often. We actually have quite a few jackets that would work over this dress, but I chose the Lemon drop jacket because of the pale yellow color which I am currently loving and is one of spring’s Pantone colors for 2016 called “buttercup yellow”. I think it is such a pretty, fresh and feminine color and I love the contrast of this pale color with the black. It is always a good substitute for white or ivory and the Lemon drop jacket is a super soft and easy jacket to wear with almost anything. I have styled it two other times on the blog and you can see those here and here. It is also a really versatile jacket that is light weight and easy to travel with.

I wanted to add a few different accessories for you to see different options in how you can style this look. I added one of our beautiful necklaces that is really simple and has just the right amount of shine with its iridescent beads in gray and black to make the black dress pop. I also added one of our brand new black and white print square shawls with black tassels. I wanted to show you how you can wear it as a scarf with the jacket over the dress and later take the jacket off and use it as shawl when you go out for dinner. I also added a stack of our black bead bracelets to go along with my watch. I love mixing lots of bracelets with my watch, but you can also wear them on their own. I finished off the look with my brand new lace sandals that I have been wearing non stop since I bought them a couple of weeks ago.
