Available in black or grey organic cotton or black eco wool and jersey stripes, this basic-with-a-twist flatters with three-quarter sleeves and an asymmetrical v-neck draped panel.

So Hot It’s Cold: Little Black Dresses Worth Freezing for This Winter

It’s cold outside so what makes the most sense to do? Wear a little dress worth freezing in. I don’t care if it’s cold and you want to bundle up, this is the best time of year to find a cute coat, wear some heels and drink some brandy. Especially in one of these little numbers. Personally I’ve experienced walking into a room and seeing a girl wear the exact same black and pink BEBE dress (this was before I had an eye for style) and I wanted to go back home and change. It was too late. My only option? Seek out local Sf dress designers and feel special when I’m the only girl at the party brave enough to bear the cold. Mention this post for $50 off your holiday dress by Ashton Miyako.

A Little Black Local Dress We Love

sofieolgaard-bayonne-front_1

We love the flattering silhouette (abbreviated v-neck + empire waist? yes, please!) and simple ease of this little black dress by San Francisco designer Sofie Olgaard.

Sparkly accoutrements about the wrists and neck could make Olgaard’s Burdaberg Dress dazzle at a New Year’s Eve soiree, while a colorful cardigan and paired-down accessories could send this versatile number sashaying out to the bar or date night dinner in style.

Pockets strategically hidden in the side seams only make us want to befriend this LBD all the more, while the cotton fabric says, go ahead, wear me year-round.

One of the newer items from Olgaard’s collection, the dress is available in the designer’s online shop.
