Recently, I was on the hunt for an “LBD” {little black dress} for our recent trip down to Charleston. Of course, I hit of one of my faithful favorites, Banana Republic.

While on the search, I was finding everything BUT what I was looking for, now who can relate to that one? Needless to say, I found many adorable pieces that I will be featuring on the blog soon.

I thought I had lost hope in finding the new LBD, until one of the associates pointed out this little cutie, the scalloped pocket dress! At first, I thought this honestly doesn’t even look great on the hanger. And to top it off, until this point, I have loathed anything with a scalloped trim. No real idea why, I just wasn’t drawn to it.

Much to my surprise, this lovely little number blew my socks off! The hubby loved it too! It truly made the most gorgeous dress to wear while dining at 82 Queen in Charleston.

The material is a little thicker, which I appreciate with the cooler temperatures, especially at dinner time. It is fitted through the waist, with a flare at the hip, creating the perfect A-Line silhouette. The neck-line is a little lower than I typically wear, but wasn’t enough to make me pass it up. The pockets are simply adorable. The lay extremely flat so no worries if you are not into pockets. Personally, it just sets the dress off with a simple, unique touch.

It’s truly a classy piece that would be flattering to many shapes and sizes. If you are looking for the perfect LBD for a date night, the scalloped pocket dress is the one!
