Create a conservative look with your LBD. For a conservative look, go for accessories that look clean and pretty, but not too bold. Pearls, small earrings, and tasteful necklaces or bracelets come to mind, as do shoes that are more conservative like black Patent leather heals or ballerinas. If you have diamonds, make them shine their best on the black background. This is a good look for work.Ad
