For Katerina’s oldie challenge, I pulled out an old favorite Calvin Klein LBD probably over 6 years in my closet. It is a sheath that has survived the edits because it has a side zipper rather than a back one, allowing me to get in and out of the dress more easily. I like the length and that it is an easy slim column of black. I wore it to church today with a floral bomber jacket, black sheer stockings and black ankle strap flats. Not shown, I also wore my JCrew blush stadium coat and dark blush scarf over everything. The dress now fits a bit tighter than it used to. Shall I retire it? Note: seeing the photos I did not like the bomber with it or the jewelry or black stockings with this outfit. The jacket photo shows the belt askew, which I did not notice at the time. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Does the dress come with the belt, Joy? I like it, and the bomber looks great over the top. Fab blush support act too.

I can only agree with others - the dress looks great and I really like the outfit. Fabulous LBD:s aren’t easy to find. So if it isn’t uncomfortable, keep it.

I also like the dress on you. As long as the belt does not dig into your ribcage when you sit, I say keep.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Angie, the belt did come with the dress and it has belt loops that cannot be easily removed. I had bought the exact same dress in ink ( dark navy) and wear both a lot in spring-fall. The black gets worn often with my black lace on blush bomber (another oldie which needs a Find).

I actually like the whole outfit too! I like how the bomber adds a very current touch to a classic style. The dress seems like a keeper to me, as long as you are comfortable in it.

Joyce I like it with the bomber. Where did you get that bomber? It’s beautiful.

Joy replied 6 years ago
Thank you, Jussie,. The bomber is the brand Elodie. I bought it at Mordstrom Rack about a year ago as a cold spring refresher because of the floral pattern. The black background and trim make it easy to wear with a column of black.
