black dress with pearls on neckline Adrianna Papell Stretch Chiffon Blousson Halter Cocktail Pearl Bead Necklace Detail 14 at Amazon Women's Clothing store while hidden pockets add a subtle Adrianna Papell Studio Faux Pearl

Chokers added a touch of grunge and rebellion to the soft look of the slip dress

Outfit Details: Enza Costa Dress, The Row Sweater (almost sold out, similar here), Khaite Bag, Hermes Sandals (less expensive version here) Ive never really given much thought to including black, white and beige together as a summer palette, since Ive always focused on each shade separately

Let your little black dress do all the talking

Made with a premium combination of 3 and 7 oz
