LBD – A Double Dose

How To Style Your Favorite Slip Dress + Express Fall Arrivals

September 23, 2020

lifestyle and fashion blogger samantha belbel sharing how to style a black slip dress for work, date night, or time with friends from express | adoubledose.com

We LOVE that slip dresses are in right now! They are so elegant and timeless, and the best part is you can wear them and style them so many ways. This one from Express happens to be on sale right now, and comes in a few color options for fall. We have size xxs on for reference, and it fits perfectly!

We love that Express has so many cute pieces, and always at a great price point. They carry petites, too, which is perfect for us!

Wear to the office:

This dress can be dressed up for an office-appropriate look with a blazer like this plaid one or this black one with a pair of black pumps. Good to go!

Wear to date night:

For date night, just add some gold layered necklaces, some heels, and a bold lip!

Wear to brunch/girls’ date:

There are so many ways to wear this with girlfriends. Our favorite way would be with a denim jacket and some sneakers. For a more edgy look, you can pair a moto jacket with some black mules.

Whether you’re going on a date, going on a trip, going to a wedding, or a night out with friends, we have you covered with some cute LBD options.

Mini Dresses

If you’re looking for some mini/shorter dresses, we love this slip dress #1 because you can dress it up or down! This lace option #4 is super cute, and again, can be dressed up or down. This one shoulder option #5 is so glam and chic.

We love this sailor style dress #7 because it so fun and different.

This black basic mini dress #10 is perfect for any occasion. We own it in pink and love it!

Midi Dresses

We think midi is a great length for anyone. This black one #3 is so gorgeous and we love the slit in it.

This asymmetrical one #9 is so pretty, and has just enough of an off shoulder, but without being too much.

We LOVE this lace one #14 for weddings.

Maxi Dresses

This lace maxi #8 is so stunning and shows skin in such a tasteful way.

As you all can tell, we are all about flowy dresses with booties for fall! For one, they are super easy to throw on, and two, you can dress them up or down! This cute flowy dress is under $15 and has the cutest tie back!

I paired it with a camo button up, but you could also wear a moto jacket or denim jacket to thrown on as it cools down!

I love these suede booties with this dress because it makes this dress more “fall-like” and adds a fun camel warmness to it! You could also throw on a plaid scarf!

This fringe bag is older, but this one is almost identical to mine and super cute to jazz up any outfit!

Red Hot Heels with Nordstrom | adoubledose.com

If my mom taught me anything (and she taught me lots of incredible things #bestmomever), she instilled in my the notion that you can NEVER have too many shoes! I remember going into every single store, and my mom would immediately bolt to the shoes.

Years later, I may have wayyyy too many shoes, but the minute I walk into a store and find a super duper cute pair of shoes, like these, it’s as if I have none! For me, Nordstrom is that place! It’s as if there’s that glowing spotlight directly over the shoe department. It draws me right in the minute I walk into those doors. I love Nordstrom because they have such a great selection of women’s shoes for every kind of style! They have so many different brands at different price points, making it impossible for someone to not find the pair of shoes they were looking for!

Shop more of my favorite shoes from Nordstrom HERE!Okay, and now onto these beauties! The second I saw these red babes perched up on the lacquer table in the Nordstrom shoe department, it was love at first site! Alexis knows how obsessed I am with this style of shoe. I don’t know why, but I just am! I could literally have a closet full of these types of heels in different colors and fabrics and be set for life! I love them because they are universally flattering and so simple and classy, making them the best addition to any outfit! I am so obsessed with this dress (for many reasons)! The major one being that it’s super comfy, AND it has hidden pockets! Yes please!If you’re ever looking for a classic pair of sunnies, these are your match! This was the first pair of Ray Bans I purchased, and they are universally flattering!
This is my go to stack of arm candy! These cuffs have been a recent addition, and I LOVE because they are simple and elegant. Even better, one of the colors is on sale for under $35! The quality of these are awesome, too! None of the stones have fallen out, which was a concern of mine. The other, rope-like cuffs are definitely investment pieces, but they are so classy that they will never go out of style!I loved this pair because it’s the perfect pop of color for a LBD, or even an all white look! I also love them paired with some denim to dress them up a bit! Even better, they’re under $100!This post is sponsored by Nordstrom, but all opinions are our own.
