It has one of the best patterns I've ever seen. It's the Murder Mystery Dress!
The fabric is white on the back (you know I hate that) and it tends to snag a bit. It does swish nicely. C+
But the pattern! Oh, the glorious pattern! It's a square of four "cartouches" of our murder suspects - go here for the pics of when I bought it, with full descriptions. A+++, could stare at it for hours.
Masked up.
I've now worn caramel belt/boots with it, and previously red and blue. What would you wear with this dress?
Outerwear.
I was a little chilly - the dress is a thin fabric and needed a warmer coat. Must walk faster!
Accoutrements:
Some faves.
These are the Best Caramel Boots - I've had them for 9 years!
- Scarf - fake Louis (Lewis!) Vuitton, thrifted
- Hat - gift from Tammy
- Brooch - Monet, vintage fair
- Gloves - Ralph Lauren, consignment
- Mask - by Mom
The stuff:
Snaky bling:
There are snakes in the dress' pattern, which made me think of my belt...which led me to my necklace and my ring.
It's a triple!
- Belt - Notes du Nord, thrifted
- Necklace - vintage expo
- Earrings - Biko, consignment
- Wooden ring - Dots
- Snake ring - consignment
- Kyanite ring - consignment; purchased here for $30.00
It's a triple!
Oh yes, I love that dress, too. the print is sublime despite the dreaded white backing (I hate that, too!) Those boots are gorgeous! xxx
ReplyDeleteNow, you need to have one of your fabulous get togethers to pair the dress with. Love the boots with it.
ReplyDeleteI do remember that dress and its print is absolutely brilliant, making up for its relatively minor issues. Oh and do I hate white backing too! Fabulous snaky bling and those are indeed the best caramel boots I've seen in a long time. That heel would be just right for me! xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the dress and I missed all your Christmas outfits; I must go back and look.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous pattern. I think I remember this dress and it is lovely seeing you wear it again.
ReplyDeleteI do love the Murder Mysteries dress!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is incredible! If you ever go to an organised Murder Mystery evening, you have to wear it!
ReplyDeleteYour snake necklace is a stunner and my practical side is appreciating the tread on those boots. x
It is a beautiful pattern and even if it doesn't score as highly on other areas, I love it and think it's definitely a keeper! I feel yellow would work well with this dress but that might not be an option for you until warmer weather arrives when you don't need boots!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm focusing on my 30 wears challenge more than trying to wear everything I own each season, I am noticing quite a few pieces in my wardrobe that don't really get worn much, even without the hanger trick. this year I'm trying to be firmer with deciding what stays and what goes, even if I haven't hit 30 wears yet with pieces! I got a lot of beautiful clothes for Christmas so I went through and tried to remove an equal amount of older clothes I haven't worn in over a year. It will be a work in progress for this year I think!
So lovely dress, glad to see you rocking it!. And love your caramel boots and leather coat!, and obviously tripled snakes!, fabulous accessorizing for a murder mistery!
