It's basically two pieces of wine-coloured red fabric and a bunch of snaps.
I'm still amazed that this was only $24.00 - it's a DVF, fer goodness' sake!
It was another warm day, although as you can tell from the stair pic, it was windy out.
I just wore this dress solo (I also have a cami on underneath), not even a coat.
I like the brass snaps down the back and that the V doesn't show my bra.
Small cat would like to go in the hall, please.
Incognito.
Cat is not going in the hall. Aw...
The stuff:
I waggled my feet at my colleagues and introduced them to the word "snoots" (snakeskin boots).
Snaky bling:
Just a few bold favourites.
- Snake necklace - vintage 90s, vintage expo
- Snake bracelet - Whiting & Davis, vintage 70s, vintage fair
- Medallion bracelet - J. Crew, consignment
- Brass Brutalist rings - vintage 70s, vintage mall
- Earrings - Biko, consignment
I'm amused by my old Dress Weeks from back in the day - this one here is from September 2008. I still have and wear the rust cami, and the yellow fabric flower brooch is still hanging around.
Enjoying both dresses from this week’s Dress Week! I appreciate the different vibes of each outfit, the comfort of wearing ‘just’ a dress, the accessories, the colorful pattern of Monday’s outfit, and the bold statement color of Tuesday’s choice. The DVF dress frames your back ink perfectly!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Thanks, Laurie! Yeah, it's rare for me to show my back ink, thanks for noticing. :) Hope you and Fred are doing well!
DeleteHi Sheila, thanks! So thrilled and overjoyed to share that Fred gets stronger day by day, the doctor says he appears (by sight and tests) to be coming along nicely, and Fred says he feels 7 out of 10. Indeed, he is doing well enough that Robin has concluded it is time for him to return to the PNW in early June. The next couple of breezes you feel will be the residue of my deep sighs!
DeleteOh, Laurie, that is such good news! Big hugs to you!
DeleteI'm enjoying your Dress Week, Sheila, and today's is a real stunner, which looks absolutely amazing on you! The snaky bling and snoots are just perfect with it! And DVF for $ 14? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ann! I know, what a score!
DeleteOh gosh, Sheila. This is right up my street. What a fantastic dress. And with those fab boots. Love that you added a snake necklace with the snake boots.
ReplyDeleteYou look a million dollars.

These boots actually remind me so much of you, Greetje! I secretly think of them as my 'Greetje boots'. :)
DeleteWhahaha... I get that.
DeleteI totally get that haha.
DeleteI really like the printed boots with this red dress! It is a stunning dress itself on you but the boots are such a fun addition. I've been wearing dresses and boots a bit too lately, it's finally started getting cooler here.
ReplyDeleteI love the V back especially with that glimpse of ink peeking out! xxx
