Late to the party, but this is a favorite look for me. Each piece does it's part perfectly. Brilliant!

So glad you have the dress.

I love this! That is all.

DG, would love to see how you style this vest!

You may love the FEEL of this - but, I love the LOOK of it! (So - we're even.)

AG: I will see what I can whip up. [Though you've set the bar far higher than I can reach, I'm afraid. ]

I love that something that looks so great FEELS great too - herein lies the perfect outfit

This is a beautiful outfit Una. The addition of the vest makes it totally you. It's a lovely mix of trend, ladylike and edge. I am really glad you posted this:) I tried on a similar dress yesterday (more of an abstract floral in black and white) and imagined wearing it in a very similar manner. Didn't buy it, but maybe now seeing how it's done I will.

I love it! I'm so glad you kept that dress.

I love every piece and together they are perfect...and so Una!

Stunning!! That dress is so, so amazing. I'm glad you kept it.

Chiming in to say how great this looks, and your reasoning makes so much sense: I am totally copying this, I can wear my sleeveless tuxedo=style blazer dress over my Joe Fresh striped sweater dress that's too clingy to suit apple me without compression or topper, and my black patent men's oxford's (saying it here so I can't chicken out)

You look fantastic. I love the oxfords, especially with the dress.......I really want a pair now

If I didn't already say this is fab I am saying it now!

Stunning Una!! You look amazing as always!! Adore that dress on you!!

Lovely - I'm a real sucker for a bit of 'toile de jouy'!
