Slip dresses are such an easy piece to style once you get the hang of them. They are lovely on their own whether they have a pattern or not and regardless of the fabric and there are so many possibilities for things to wear with them. On its own, a slip dress is an elegant…
Crystal and Velvet: Mint Sweater, Crystal Necklace and Velvet Leggings
I realize that most people have already pulled out their summer clothes, but it’s still rather chilly here so I have yet to pack away my sweaters. I recently wore a pair of velvet leggings here and that post was also on the dressier side. I repeat the vibe. The necklace…
Working the Monochrome: Sparkly Black Top and Velvet Leggings
I shocked myself by putting together another monochrome look (black again like the one here) so soon after my previous one. This one has a different vibe though consisting of a dressy black top and velvet leggings. The crochet top is pretty sparkly and I love the hint or ruffle trim peeking out from the…
In the Wind: Velvet Top, Floral Wrap Skirt, Plaid Shirt, Faux Leather Jacket and Ankle Boots
I knew as soon as I saw this wrap skirt that I needed to have it. It matched my style perfectly despite not being the easiest piece to style. I like incorporating it into a look with a rock-n-roll vibe like the one I’m wearing here. The black velvet top is a nice neutral way…
Shady Places: Black Velvet Dress with Floral Embroidery, Faux Leather Jacket and Grey Boots
A nice warm long sleeved velvet dress under a faux leather jacket is about as light as I can bear in the current weather (and this was a warmer day too). The pretty floral embroidery across the top is another bonus and gives the dress enough detail to hold my interest without jewelry. …
Six Months: Faux Fur Vest, Crushed Velvet Top, Jeans and Brown Boots
Oh boy, I got so caught up in other things, I completely missed the six month anniversary of this blog a few weeks back. I can’t believe that it’s already been six months. To everyone who’s reading this, I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you’re all here. It makes my…
Finding Ways: Asymmetric Velvet Dress, Silver Top, Black Choker, Faux Fur Jacket and Tall Boots
Here I’m wearing an asymmetric velvet dress with an open front situation. At first glance it might seem like an item like that is kind of ridiculous and impractical, but I’ve actually found it to be the opposite. I find that the fact that I can pretty much wear any crop top or tank top…
White and Velvet: White Jeans, Violet Sweater, Floral Scarf and Purple Velvet Over-the-Knee Boots
Here are the white jeans again and the velvet over-the-knee boots I absolutely love (last worn here and here). I’m actually still surprised by how often I manage to wear them. I never realized purple was such a versatile color. I suppose it helps that they’re a grayed out purple though, which makes them a bit…
Rock and Velvet: Burgundy Velvet Choker Dress, Black Leather Vest, Belt and Stud Boots
This is what went with the roses and lace manicure (here) I posted earlier when I went for a Marilyn Manson concert. I started off with the burgundy velvet choker dress and built up appropriate accessories until I had a look that I was happy with. I always enjoy wearing looks like this. All the black…
In Pink: Fuzzy Pink Sweater, Crystal Choker and Velvet Thigh-High Boots
Here are the velvet boots again (also worn here) and another fuzzy sweater. I did mention that these are super warm right? I really like the look of pink and purple together so it was the perfect opportunity to pull out my purple velvet thigh-high boots again. Dark blue jeans made a great neutral base…
