Styling a ModCloth LBD

The little black dress is a wardrobe staple. Wedding, cocktail party, night out - no matter the occasion you can usually wear an LBD and be dressed perfectly.

Enter the versatile ModCloth Committee Celebration Dress.

This adorable style is what I call conservative flirty. The neckline shows off just a little without overexposing and the longer length gives off a vintage vibe. If you're in the market for a NYE ensemble for a fancier affair than a club or bar, this is the ideal dress. Paired with fun accessories and a funky coat, you're all set to ring in the new year in style!

LBD

Ah, the little black dress. A staple that every lady needs in her wardrobe. Yet somehow I don't have one. Pretty sure this Essential Matelasse Skater Dress from Forever 21 would fill my LBD void. And it's only $27.80. I may just need to buy it!

If you look closely, there are ribbed stripes. Such a cute detail!

And now for what you've all been waiting for - my Monday Morning Gossip/1,000 Followers giveaway winner is Jessica of You Are My Color. Congrats!

Join the Gossip is 5 Today!

Today Join the Gossip turns 5! It's really hard to believe that I've been at it that long. What keeps me going is all of you - each person who reads this blog makes blogging wort it. I've met SO many incredible people who have become in real life friends. That's amazing to me. I would have never imagined how much joy this blog would bring. OK, I'm done being all mushy.

To celebrate I held a giveaway and the winner is Miranda of Aimless Transition! Congrats!!

And since we're celebrating, I've created an outfit for Friday's Fancies that's party perfect. Maybe for NYE? The best part about this look is that ALL of these items are from Target!
