Seo Ye Ji's closet in It's Okay to Not Be Okay is a fount of stylish pieces we'd totally cop ourselves. Perhaps her wardrobe speaks louder to me for our mutual love for all things black and non-frilly pieces. What's more, Seo Ye Ji proves that you can in fact, live in LBDs. But if you think our fave children's book author will settle for mundane black dresses, then you thought wrong.
Below, we round up her best black 'fits so far. Consider this a tribute to her sartorial love affair with stunning ebony frocks, before we see a more feminine and softer aesthetic on our feisty leading lady.
Episode 3
Right off the bat, we see Ko Mun-yeong favoring prints and statement deets on her daily looks. With this Magda Butrym dotted dress, we further understand her love for eye-catching pieces despite them having a neutral hue.

Episode 7
Puffy sleeves, check! Short hemline, check! Cute bow, check! This Lee Mathews frock is an adorable pambahay we'd totally be on board with wearing. Who knew LBDs can also be the perfect loungewear, right?

Episode 9
Who can forget this stunning printed dress on Mun-yeong? We're snickering after the author deems this frock a "normal" 'fit to don. But hey, we would definitely put this dress atop our lists, too, for a quick getaway with Moon Gang-tae (Kim Soo Hyun)! It spells a chic vacay look without trying too hard, don't you think?

Episode 10
LBDs are a foolproof choice any day, for any occasion, according to Mun-yeong. We're almost not surprised she chose this MSGM taffeta dress adorned with a singular bow to wear on her own birthday. That said, we're also swooning over this stylish LBD pick. It's chic, elegant, and definitely comfortable enough to wear all day.

In the same episode, Mun-yeong proves just how LBDs can easily be addicting to hoard and to wear—especially if you see this floral-laden Alice and Olivia frock, featuring an asymmetrical hemline and au courrant puff sleeves.

Episode 12
Mun-yeong's taste in ebony frocks is slowy changing, in case you didn't notice. She's favoring LBDs that are printed with bright colors and she's reaching for pieces that boast of happy blooms, too! Case in point is this sleeveless floral midi dress from Italian brand MSGM.
