5 ways to wear it: lbd

Posted on November 29, 2010 by grasie

A couple of weeks ago I decided to try something new…I wanted to do an “Outfit” post that was also a “How To” post. But instead of creating jpegs, I thought, “A video would be fun!” So I called up my uber talented DP/Editor/Director friend Michael Garcia and together we created “5 Ways To Wear It: Little Black Dress” the video!!! Check it out below and please leave a comment to let me know what you think. If you guys like it, ill do more. I’m thinking “5 Ways To Wear It: For The Holidays” could be a great one!

In these looks: Urban Renewal dress by Urban Outfitters (in all looks)

    • http://grasiemercedes.com/ grasie

      thank you stephanie! that’s exactly what i was hoping to accomplish: a fun quick way to give people ideas on what to wear! funny thing about the song…i literally had the thought “i want a fun, sexy song, hmm maybe N.E.R.D.” it was the first song that came up for them!!! perfect. ps – im sure you have great fashion sense! xoxo

  • JoLee

    ABSOLUTELY love this!!! SOO fun and so many great looks in a short amount of time! You make it look extremely easy and effortless!!! Def think you need more of these in the near future!!!

    • http://grasiemercedes.com/ grasie

      nice! thanks sis! well said i must say :) love you and THANK YOU!!!

  • Lena

    Loved it! Felt a bit sceptical but curious when I first read about it (in your newsletter). And while I’m not too keen on the lbd on its own – maybe because it’s completely wrong for MY body? ;) – you did some amazing things with it! Looove the First Date look! And the dancing! xxx

    • http://grasiemercedes.com/ grasie

      thanks Lena! though i dont know your body type i believe there is a LBD out there for everyone, no matter what size. many of my clients are a size 10, 12 and 14…you dont have to be a size 4 to look hot in an LBD. im so happy the video gave you some ideas. try them out for fun…you never know what you’ll come up with. i constantly surprise myself when i just play dress up in my closet. be creative, have fun and thanks so much for checking out the video. xo

  • Viv

    I loved it! very creative. like Lena said it’s great if the little black dress just doesn’t go with a certain body type by itself.

    • http://grasiemercedes.com/ grasie

      thanks Viv! yes that’s exactly it…who says you can’t get creative with how you wear your LBD?

  • http://fashionflirt.wordpress.com Fashionflirt

    This is one of the BEST how-to posts I’ve ever seen! Love it! Super creative. I’m going to link my readers to this for sure.

  • Julie Paige

    This was OUTSTANDING!! It was such a COOL, FUN, REALLY HELPFUL, and POWERFUL way to give us a “how to” lesson!! I LOVED this format! I learned a lot and it made me want to be more playful and creative with the little black dress! Keep up the AMAZING work, Grasie!!

    I really loved the video! It’s such a great way to show your 5 looks-w/o the bore of having someone walk you through it step by step. You said it all without saying a word. nicely done!

    p.s. those flat vintage boots made me cry a little. I must have them!!!
