Fuchsia Fusion

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Dress, Forever 21 Belt and Watch, XIV Pave Diamond Rings, Hue Tights, Madden Girl ‘Mylo’ Shoes, Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag.

Textures are exceedingly important to me. In fact, I barely noticed the vibrant fuchsia color of this dress the first time I saw it. Instead, I was mesmerized by the lacy intertwining patterns that were reminiscent of Mexican paper flags. The scalloped hem adds a flirty touch and I love how the intentionally loose strings keep it from looking too saccharine. Paired with all black accessories, I managed to incorporate one of my favorite Summer dresses in late November.

Black tights and accessories under a summer dress is such a great trick. You did it to perfection.

20 Jackie { 11.21.08 at 9:29 am }

This dress is stunning! Love the color, and the detailing. And the way you accessorize is genius!

21 The City Sage { 11.21.08 at 9:36 am }

The shoes! The shoes! I think you should start a lending library of accessories so that we girls who aren’t as stylistically gifted can benefit from your fabulous taste—not that we don’t already ;)

22 sharon rose { 11.21.08 at 9:45 am }

Thanks for the comment on my blog Emily ;)

I love fushcia as it’s girly without being too girly. It also looks amazing against black. I love the texture of that dress – it’s really unusual. You look great, as always! xoxo

46 winnie { 11.23.08 at 2:45 pm }

Wow, you look amazing in that pink! Those shoes are gorgeous too!

48 Always In Style { 11.24.08 at 7:37 am }

I love this dress on you – you look gorgeous, and I’m totally jealous that you can still wear stuff like this during this time of year :)

49 Tara { 11.25.08 at 9:51 am }

Such a stunning dress emily! I love the comparison to a Mexican paper flag. And you are right about the texture– somehow because of the intricate texture, it tones down the bright color a bit.

50 Fashion Chalet { 11.25.08 at 7:22 pm }

Love the shade of your dress.

Great shoes, too! xx

51 jennifer ramos { 11.26.08 at 3:54 pm }
