The Little Black Dress Obsession

As told by yours truly

The Little Black Dress Obsession

The Little Black Dress changed my life; let it change yours, too.

I would hate for this to come off as the epitome of girly articles, but the Little Black Dress (LBD) holds a very special place in my heart and it should in yours, too.  Being a girl, I am partial to dresses, not only because they make me feel pretty but, more importantly, because I am quite impartial to pants that are not Norts. My closet is filled with all kinds of dresses, from maxi dresses and sundresses to formal dresses, I have them all, but if you look closely, you'll notice a black hole in my closet. 

The amount of black dresses I have is a bit excessive. They sit there all beautifully clumped together on their hangers in my not-so-spacious bedroom closet. I can't pinpoint exactly when my obsession started, but I quickly grew fond of the LBD. This item of clothing is such a staple in my wardrobe for many reasons and I would be happy to share them with you. Hopefully I'll inspire you to start your own collection.

First, the LBD is a classic. In my opinion, you always look much more put together in a black dress. Whether it's a nice scalloped shift like this one (but in black of course,) or a simple black sundress, you're sure to look like you didn't just roll out of bed. 

Secondly, the LBD is flattering, for the most part, on anyone. We all know the Freshman 15 is a real thing along with the Sophomore 30, and maybe even Junior 50 (yikes!), but luckily you're sure to look like you're fresh out of the gym in your LBD.

My last selling point for the LBD, is that it is so simple in every sense of the word. If you don't feel like wearing pants to class (which I'm always guilty of) just throw on your favorite comfy black dress and go; add a necklace to dress it up a bit for a night out. Honestly, the Little Black Dress is a necessity in every girl's closest, so go get shopping!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
