Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 2 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway.  Today’s look is all about the Little Black Dress.  What I really love about LBD’s is that they give you so much room to get creative.   When it comes to styling little black dresses, the sky is the limit!  Plus when you’re stuck on what to wear, you can always go for Plan LBD.  That is why it is vital to pack a little black dress on your summer getaways because you never know when you might just need to throw one on and rush out the door.  You can always trust that dress because you know it looks good on you and you can easily dress it up or down with the right jewelry and accessories which you’ll hopefully remember to pack plenty of.  As you can see, I paired my dress with the both a casual Target beach bag and a dress shoulder bag by Elaine Turner.

Now, if you haven’t found your perfect little LBD yet, I highly recommend this little off the shoulder Show Me Your Mumu Lily Scrunch dress.  The polyester material is excellent for resisting wrinkles in your suitcase.

Packing tips: Make sure when packing for summer vacations that you remember to pack plenty of jewelry and accessories because in most cases just a change of shoes and accessories will allow you to transition your look from day to night without having to change your clothes.  This way you can keep your luggage under the 50 pound limit!
