Cupcakes and Cashmere

Lime Green and Gray

January 16th, 2012



Diane von Furstenberg Dress, Elizabeth and James Sunglasses, Topshop and Hermes bracelets, Vintage Clutch, Alaia Booties

Sometimes the dresses that look really awkward on the hanger turn out to be the most fun to wear. But then again, anything that pairs bright citrusy colors with toned down neutrals typically gets my vote.

    I have also found the same to be true… awkward items on the rack can look fabulous on! (and vice versa unfortunately!)

    This is such a unique dress! I love a little pop of neon…

    This dress is VERY interesting. I can see what you mean about it maybe not having appeal on the hanger, but it looks fantastic on you!
