Every girl has a little black dress in her closet. It's the one dress she knows flatters her every curve and makes her feel drop-dead gorgeous. The problem is, sometimes we get stuck with ways to style it. If you're always wearing for a night out on the town, you can only wear it so many times before you feel like it shows up in every picture.

But that's a limited mentality to have when it comes to your LBD. There are numerous ways to wear it without looking repetitive and boring. Whether you're dressing it up or creating a more casual look, check out these 12 ways to style your favorite little dress.

First of all, finding the perfect, versatile dress is important. You want something that can work with many pieces in your closet. I recommend a knee-length dress with a scoop, v-neck, spaghetti strap, or sweetheart neckline. With a lower neckline, you can layer over your dress without having the top part show. If you choose a dress with a fun back design, it'll be perfect for nights out when you wear the dress alone! Here are some of my picks (all under $100!):
