Lace Corset Appliquéd

 

I just adore this dress and I have worn it before with different sleeves and different accessories, but it's just one of those modern finds that truly looks vintage.  The lace corset appliquéd for this dress lets the bright (radiant orchid-ish) color pop even more.  You know, I just can't pass up anything that looks great layered with black and more black.  My statement pearled necklace and hinged chain cuff break up having so much black, as does my pink lip shades (my desk collection is slowly growing!) for this Monday. 

Striped and Gold

It might be a little ironic that I'm strutting my striped mod dress from GoldenTote with a golden-hued cardi, no?  Also, while I love the thickness of the dress (and it not being see-through between the stripes), it's a polyester blend and it shrunk.  Just enough that I'm totally going to pair it with some black leggings when I get home to see how it looks.  I took a casual dress and added a modest cardi and then threw on my favorite brogues in black.  I have red lips and a few black and silver accessories, so I feel ready for this warm day.  My hair's frizzy, but that's why ponytails are lovely for Fridays.  As you can tell, I love color-coding anything, even a schedule, and forgot to share my Rifle Paper Co. city scene of the month: Tokyo.  Even though March is almost over, it's still got some spunk left.
