Little Black Dress... actually little tan belt.

Thank you for your kind words and to Monica for gathering up my wonderful ex-roommates to post such great questions... it was very much appreciated.

There is something I don't think I've ever shared on here... I have two full-time jobs. During the day I am a Kindergarten teacher and in the evenings I have a very random job that I will share about after it's done, but for my own personal safety, I'll just keep it at that. I hate when people are ambiguous about things so don't worry it's not that exciting and one day I'll talk about it.

One thing that is kind of exciting about it though is that every other Monday I attend a nice dinner where I have to wear all black. Which leads me to my question...

Should I wear this dress/stretch pant with a belt:

Or without?

This is my trying to hide from the people I work with while taking my picture.

I love it both ways, but I think it's better with the belt :)

I love it with the belt, however, if you have, say a red belt, it might look a little more formal for a "nice dinner."

Belt for sure and are the leggings a must? I'm not a huge fan. If you can't do bare legs maybe hose/tights (printed or otherwise)? But I love the dress! And your haircut!

Elizabeth said...

Absolutely love it with the belt!

Belt that sucker!

Everyone else says belt but I think for a nice dinner I like it better without the belt. Or maybe with a belt {maybe a different color} but with different bottoms.

Definitely with the belt :)

With!

I'm in the minority here, but I like it better without the belt.

I like the belt the best!! I've had the same experience, hiding from co-workers while acting normal. I hate getting photo-bombed!

Libby said...

without for sure! that dress is adorable and fancy and the belt brings it down to too casual. maybe a black belt instead?

lori said...

with the belt, absolutely!!!!! so, so cute on you!!!

I like it without the belt. The style of shirt is meant to be loose and carefree, so I would go without it.

kate said...

You look adorable both ways, but my vote is for the belt.

Alicia Segerson said...

I say, the belt, for sure!

With the belt, for sure!

Brittany said...

definitely with the belt. it breaks up the black and gives you more shape.

Jess said...

It's good to have you back! I vote with the belt, and what about adding some heels too?!

Yes, agreeing with belt definitely! Gives you a lovely defined waist! Super cute dress!

And Whitney...I saw that you live in Oakland! I live near Sacramento! :)

Belt all the way!

Welcome back! I like it without the belt only because it keeps it dressier. The belt makes it more casual. Looks cute either way, I think it just depends what you're going for! :) Also, I bet it would look adoooorable and on-trend with a neon belt! :)

I like the idea of belting it but I think the tan belt makes it super casual so I am on the fence about it. Maybe a cute coloured belt like red or something unexpected like pink or aqua? Anyway, the top/dress is cute and you look adorable as always!

Rebecca from See Me Rwar said...

What an adorable dress! And I think it looks great with the tan belt!

With the belt! If you wear it without, you could wear it with a fun statement necklace.

Belt! It is definitely more slimming. But I sgree with the person above me, that I would pick a fun color like red or teal : )

Christine-Chioma said...

Love it with the tan belt! :) I would like it too with a brighter color belt or some pop-out heels. I just love splashes of color...

I also like you acknowledging the awkwardness of taking a photo shoot.

Definately with the belt! Have you tried sheer black tights instead of the black leggings for a tone contrast?
