My inspiration is that “The Loving Lately Edit” will be a cathartic way of “shopping”. In short, a quick snapshot of my current “Loving Lately” items from my favourite stores or new brands that I have discovered.

These featured items are either in my closet or on my wish list. And I would include them in my own wardrobe if I had a limitless budget and lifestyle to require them. 

The Voluminous Tiered Black Dress – Outfit of the Day

There is nothing so versatile and effortlessly classic as a voluminous-tiered black dress. Last year, I purchased a Merlette-style midi dress, a Zara long version, and a Jason Lingard everyday dress, and I almost wore them daily on rotation.

To showcase its versatility as styled in my Outfit of the Day, it can easily dress up or down, and a long-sleeved version is trans-seasonal. Wear with white sneakers or slides in the summer or Black Chunky Chelsea boots in the winter.

I hope you find inspiration in the following Weekly Loving Lately Edit – Voluminous Tiered Black Dress Outfit of the Day…..
