It was very cold and rainy today! Had to take photos in the rain. Took my Mulberry Alexa out and it coped really well - I made sure to waterproof it first with waproo spray. My bayswater is "natural leather" which means it gets marks and stains very easily as it is untreated leather. The Alexa is "soft buffalo leather" which is a lot softer and more resilient in water. Like my Balenciagas, I'll be able to use this a lot on rainy days.
I wasn't too impressed with this dress today so it's going into the donate pile. What do you think, would you have made any changes to today's outfit?
This is the first (and last!) wearing of the dress on the blog. The wedges have been worn before here, coat here, scarf here and bag here.

Cute scarf! And I love purple, so I think your umbrella is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI think the dress looks great and I LOVE those wedges! I'm not sure what you don't like about it, but it looks just fine! Great news on the bag too! I hate water spots!
ReplyDeleteLooking great even in the rain! Love it.

That scarf is awesome! I love the outfit it's so chic, but I would add a pop of color- I'm sort of a color and print junkie!

I actually love the dress !!! I think if you have 4 inches cut off - you'll wear it a lot more.
ReplyDeleteYou're looking mighty pretty.
Of course, I love black and/or dark coloured outfits so I'm ever-so-slightly biased. But...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why you're down on that dress. It looks really lovely - , it offers a great canvas for colourful accessories, like you did with the leopard print scarf, the scarf/belt, and jewelry.
And the way you paired it with the platforms and black tights/leggings really creates an impression of refined verticality.
I'd say keep the dress and have fun ornamenting it with pops and splashes of colour and patterns. :)
Thanks Frederik! I've had it quite a while and rarely wear it - as fun as it is to dress up with scarves I think it's best to make more room in my wardrobe!
Deletelove the way you accessorized this pretty black combo!

Love the wedges! And I think you accessorized the black outfit very well. The silk scarf as a belt is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress actually, I think a Maison Martin Margielastyle mirror belt would REALLY set everything off.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment!

hehe thanks Kim! I'd just rather have dresses I can wear in more ways - I can only really wear this with heels, I don't wear it often enough.
DeleteYour outfit looks perfect for rainy weather. Save it for another rainy day? :)
