There's one thing I'm certain of in life - when you get invited to play dress up in one of the coolest vintage stores in NYC, you just don't say no. So as it happens, the lovely peeps over at Bright Young Things were kind enough to as me to participate in their style challenge. For those of you not familiar Bright Young Things is Eliza Starbuck's clothing line, that is made up of just one single Little Black Dress. Makes sense right? All a fashionista needs in life is one little black dress. With that in mind - Eliza designed the dress for her friend Sheena Matheiken's "Uniform Project." You guys remember that from last year right? Sheena wore the same little black dress every day for a year to raise money for charity, and showed that the most simple of looks can be turned into something so special and different with a little help from creative styling.

So now it was our turn to do the same. Bright Young Things invited a slew of fashion bloggers, myself included, to take on the little black dress style challenge last week.

The Challenge: Hit up fab vintage shop Cobblestones in the East Village, little black dress in tow, and create two looks using any items from the store and/or your own closet. Challenge accepted!

The Results: 10 fashion bloggers, 20 very different looks, an inordinate amount of fun playing dress up. Walking into Cobblestones was a bit overwhelming because of the incredible amount of beautiful vintage items they carry. I narrowed it down to two very distinct looks: one late 60's hippie girl (all courtesy of an authentic Kennedy campaign button) and one "hipster Betty Draper" (as my friend referred to it).
