You know what’s true love? When your boyfriend agrees to shoot pictures of you in your new little black dress outside The Plaza Hotel before his 8AM meeting on a Friday. While I wish I could say I was heading to some fabulous event in this look, I actually just trekked along with Nick on his early morning commute to take these photos before the arrival of all the holiday tourist crowds.
In other news… how fabulous is this little black dress? It was a steal for under $100!

On the outside blogging can look quite fabulous, but often it’s a lot of planning in advance and strategically timing when to take photos based on lighting and when the sidewalks will be the least crowded. Gotta love that #NYCblogger life! Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely L O V E what I do and I can’t imagine my life without my little corner of the Internet, but it’s definitely not always as simple and easy as it looks! 😛
Buttt back to talking fashion! Guys, right now Nordstorm has a great selection of affordable little back dresses. I was really impressed when I was perusing the site yesterday! It goes to show that you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to put together a formal look that’s chic and Plaza Hotel-appropriate 😛 If you’re looking for a new lbd check out some of the options below– I tried to include a mix of cuts and lengths that would look great on a variety of body types. I might just have to repeat this dress on New Year’s Eve!
