Goldfinger

November 5th, 2012


Free People Dress, Rag + Bone Blazer, H&M Tights, Steve Madden Booties, Alexandra DeClaris Clutch, Bijules Nail Ring, Deepa Gurnani Hair Clip, Deborah Lippmann “Carefree Coral” Nail Polish

An LBD is great, but there’s something about a metallic dress that consistently works anytime you want to get dolled up. I have a couple in my closet and they work just as well for the holidays as they do for random date nights (which was the impetus for this outfit), and I love that this one is a simple shape with a light material (and under $90). I kept everything else streamlined – it was the first time I had worn tights in months! – and finished the look with two little braids wrapped into a side bun.

    I’ve been searching for a dress like this! I also really love the pairing of black tights with it. Could not agree more. Totally classy.

    Love the metallic dress… You’re absolutely right, they ARE a closet staple!! I have been wearing my opaque black tights as often as I can… I LOVE the way they look and I’m always a little sad to put them away once Spring comes around!!

    You are really beautiful dressed in this way but where I live I would get sick wearing so thin dresses: it’s too cold!!
