Me and my LBD Lisa Fitzpatrick

'My absolute favourite item in my wardrobe is a Little Black Dress I bought in the Design Centre in Dublin back in 2010 when I knew I'd be launching my first book. When I saw it I reckoned it would be just about perfect for the occasion - and it was.

Since then I feel like I've worn it a thousand times! It's been called upon again and again: for presenting slots on ITV's This Morning, for weddings, for Punchestown when I've been judging Best Dressed, and for the Ultimate Girls Day Out when I was a guest speaker.

I never mind wearing the same thing year after year. I do closet clear-outs for Xpose on TV3 and the amount of women I see with never-worn clothes in their wardrobes would break your heart. There's no reason that a key, good quality piece can't see you through a decade or more of wear. And what I love about a LBD is that you can change it so easily with a pair of tights, or a bag, boots, a statement belt - the options are practically endless!"
