Black is basically as classic as it gets. All black is even classier. I love this look because each item is elegant with its own trendy twist. 

 I had been on the hunt for a great choker dress for too long. After a lot of online searching, I finally came across this dress, which can be worn either mid length or short. I love the way the choker gives this LBD a trendy feel and that I can change the look of the dress by switching the length.

My bag and shoes are also classic pieces mixed with a little bit of trendy and edginess. Ring bags are all the rage right now. If you don’t have the funds or can’t afford to invest in trendy pieces, this bag is a great option (only $40!) My shoes are more of a splurge, but totally worth the investment. Rockstuds are a great way to add edge to an outfit. They make a simple or casual outfit feel instantly cool. The Rockstud is a trend I hope is here to stay because I live in these booties. Check out my options below for affordable to pricier alternative ring bags and black booties.
