I'm pretty sure that I've worn an LBD exactly once before today. So this is a pretty timid attempt.
But I was pretty sure I had to take the opportunity provided by today's poster, so here goes. I had planned to do bare legs and peep-toe pumps, but nope, it's super cold. So out came the fleece-lined tights. Perfect for today, which feels very wintery also. I tried to keep everything mostly clean-lined, so I didn't add a scarf.
I picked up a white bag yesterday, and thought it represented the white in the poster quite well - then I just needed bright colors around the edges. That I did with a bracelet, earrings and red shoes. I tried adding the orange jacket for warmth, but I think it's too halloween-y, so I'm adding a thermal undershirt instead.
In general, this is a new combo for me - actually the whole casual-dress on a casual day is kind of new to me.
Suggestions? I feel like I could probably make it work....
Edit: I had a pic of the wrong bracelet. This is the correct one (now #4)

I love this on you! The paired down effect is very successful. You have a sharp eye for details, too, by adding the colors like that. The white bag is terrific - a bargain!

Thank you Ingunn and Ali! So far it's comfy and I feel perhaps a tad more sophisticated than usual, even though it's still a bit chilly.

I don't see how you could think that orange coat detracts from the outfit, it makes it fun and exciting! But I did want to pop in to say I LOVE THAT BRACELET and ermahgerd that purse....so much wantage. *faint*

I think your rendition is great! The black dress seems very versatile and I hope you get more wear out of it.
