Almost 100 years ago, Vogue Magazine published its October 1926 cover with Coco Chanel's iconic little black dress (aka LBD) stating that it was the "uniform for all women of taste." During that time period Henry Ford was mass producing the Model T in "any color as long as it is black" which lead writers to pen the phrase "Chanel's Ford" symbolizing its sophistication, simplicity and accessible to all women. Perhaps as revolutionary to fashion as the automobile was the transportation, this item is undeniably the most essential piece to have in your wardrobe. It can be dressed for the office with a jacket and pump or dressed up with pearls and strappy heels. It can take you from day to night with just a few choice accessories. With fall approaching in the South it is also the item that can transcend the multiple personalities of any autumn day.
