Golden Stripes

J.Crew Dress (on sale), Maje Belt, Alexandra DeClaris Clutch, Manolo Blahnik Pumps
I've been avoiding the overly voluminous skirt trend for a while, though while glamorous, seems relatively impractical for day-to-day wear. But this dress, which still provides a bit of billowing, also adds a gilded stripe that's ideal for the countless cocktail parties I have lined up for November.
