After evaluating a rack of clothes that could potentially be paired with this unique Plan B legging; I decided to resurrect my famous Little Black Dress. In August, I wore this LBD for 31 days in what I called The Little Black Dress Experiment and documented the experience on my blog. My goal was to illustrate to my readers how they could take a simple piece in their wardrobe and accessorize it to create innumerable looks. In this week's look I wanted to reaffirm that you truly can pair your little black dress with.anything.

Inspired by the legging's crushed-leather-meets-tie-dye look, I paired the outfit with a navy blue crushed-leather, on trend, motorcycle jacket. Many people ask how to pair a motorcycle jacket with a little black dress? This is how. I added a belt that lends definition to my waist and a great knee-high boot to break up the pattern on my leg. Want to know the secret to getting your legs to look lean in a patterned legging? Wear "body-shaping tights" underneath your leggings. They keep your legs looking fit and in cold weather add a little warmth as well.
