Just working in the studio today and walking over to an art opening at a nearby gallery later.
Neel's dress posts got me looking at the unworn dresses in my closet. Some fabbers might remember I bought this dress last year. I had it altered for better fit, but then it languished in my closet as the weather cooled and the opportunity to wear it didn't come up. I've always regarded it as a date night dress since the top is kind of bare, and the silhouette is a little bodycon.
Well, today I got the idea to try playing with a vest to dress it down and de-bombshell it. I originally had sandals on, but decided I liked the vibe of these funky oxfords instead, even though the sandals are more conventionally flattering. Pic #3 shoes the dress without the vest. #4 is detail of the shoes.
Dress: Bailey 44/Anthro
Vest: Levi's
Shoes: 80%20
Quilted clutch: Topshop (Nordstrom)
Oh, and I think I found my new tote! Pics 6-7. I've been searching for a good replacement for two not-perfect totes, and I tried the Rebecca Minkoff MAB but the handles were too stiff and short for my liking. Pic 5 shows the new tote on the left, and the two old ones on the right that it will replace.
This Milly tote ticks all of my boxes: silver/metallic neutral; roomy yet light; comfortable straps; no bling or excess detailing; structured yet not overly stiff; and a nice wide base for ease of use.
Bonus Sophie shot since she was by my side while I got ready today.
Thx for looking - comments & suggestions always welcome.
