Eileen Fisher Velvet Dress ($268) / Leggings ($10) / Valentino Lace-up Booties ($995) / Azzaro Clutch ($990) / DANNIJO Cuff ($420) / Irene Neuwirth Earrings ($9660) /
Etro scarf ($640)
For this fantasy Friday, I wanted to show how a basic black outfit can be totally transformed with a few choice accessories. This sleeveless velvet dress is so pretty… the flowing shape and fabric make it flattering and comfortable, which are the top factors I look for when buying any item. I suppose you could technically wear this dress without leggings, but with something that short I like to have leggings for extra coverage. These black velvet lace cut booties by Valentino compliment the velvet on the dress without looking like they match, and the great design on the side gives some pizazz to the look. This Etro scarf is absolutely gorgeous – the weight is heavy enough that it could be worn as a wrap, but if you got warm and wanted your arms exposed it would also look beautiful as a scarf. The bright earrings and clutch both compliment the scarf but don’t overwhelm the outfit when looking at it as a whole. I adore DANNIJO jewelry and think this cuff is the perfect way to finish the outfit. This basic black outfit could be worn so many different ways, and with the holidays rapidly approaching, it’s always great to have a basic go-to outfit that can be drastically changed with a few accessories. Happy Friday!
