We're still in the middle of a heat wave - heck, our whole summer has been a heatwave! We're usually well into autumn weather, but hey, I am not going to complain about too much sunshine!
And it means it's way easier to keep wearing some of my "back of the closet" stuff - things I just don't wear as often, like this fabulous dress.
Such a favourite! And yet, I just don't wear it that much. Part of it is washing - and it does need a wash. I don't like to wash fancy stuff that often, and dry cleaners won't touch anything with embellishment on it. So there's always that risk, that an item will be ruined. And I love this way too much to lose it. Hence, fewer wears.
I last wore it
here in June with cowboy boots. It will be packed away for the chilly season - I like showing my arms in it.

I liked the extra length of the puffy underskirt with it. This is just a sheer, unhemmed skirt with a single flounce, but it is awesome for extending the length of some of my otherwise-too-short dresses and skirts. I wish I had one in every colours!
The stuff:
Yes, I am going to pack away my wondrous orange Fluevogs for the fall/winter. They've gotten more and more comfy the more I've worn them. I might need them in snakeskin...I last wore them
here earlier this month with sequins.
Bitchin' bling:
I did uneven earrings again - I am grooving on this look.
Dress (Desigual), underskirt (Noa Noa), shoes (Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog), cuff/small earring (local), other earring (Oscar & Libby's), lapis lazuli/Fulvia Ring (Wendy Brandes).
Great look! I love all of the pieces here and that dress is really amazing! So are the orange Fluevogs! Are they fabric? It looks like linen. I hope this nice weather lasts a lot longer because I've booked my Victoria stay for October 16-18.

I always love to see Desigual stuff. That dress is gorgeous! You need some kind of magic powder to clean it - or be prepared to turn it into a tunic if it shrinks.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is really interesting, so I hope it survives a wash! Gentle cool machine cycles or a hand wash usually do the trick so fingers crossed. The net underskirt just sets it off nicely, as do the orange heels. xxx
ReplyDeleteI really like all the colors and the pattern in this dress. And I can even see the "comfortable" in those great, orange shoes!
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome dress and it's so you. I can see why you treasure it. xox
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with my fancy stuff. I don't like to wash it as often.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing this dress on you! Enjoy that warm weather for me, been chilly down here!
ReplyDeleteTHat's the Desigual dress !
ReplyDeleteI wash things often, here its so damn hot that you sweat stuff most of the time. BUT, do try to get at least 2 wears out of clothing.
Try putting your dress in the freezer for a few days. It is supposed to kill all bacteria. I'll be freezing a pair of "sueded" pants that can not be cleaned.
