This slinky viscose dress is patterned with feathers, like a snowy owl's.
I have a full black vintage slip underneath, which I was very glad of when the wind decided to lift my dress up past my knees.
I might have to wear it opened up with some really swooshy trousers...it actually hangs best with no belt at all.
It's one of those dresses that also wants to blouse out over the belt - I was constantly pulling it back down.
But I did like it overall. I have lots of shoe-belt combos I can do with this!
Incognito.
I am outraged that I had to wear a COAT today.
Even worse, I actually had to zip it!
Brrr, it was even trying to rain on my walk home. Bring back my sunshine!
The stuff:
I longed for pointy-toed matching fuchsia shoes (these ones), but these were the best I could do. Toe was happy.
- Silk scarf - vintage, thrifted.
Oops, forgot my belt. It and my lipstick were my spots of pink today.
I didn't like the skinny, stringy belt the dress came with. Give me a good leather belt any day.
- Belt - vintage 80s, thrifted
Silver bling:
Round shapes to match the feathers.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou are making that pink jacket work for you! It looks gorgeous with that "snowy owl" dress.
ReplyDeleteMonday was wall to wall rain for us!
Thank you, Claire! I plan to illustrate the jacket at some point. I would welcome rain - we're going to have a very dry summer, and that means a high risk of forest fires and low water. Yikes.
DeleteI love your feathers! Haha, I should invest in a slip for cycling- there are some very risque moments in the Summer! Kxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kezzie! I also really like little athletic shorts that come down past the upper thigh.
DeleteThat is a beautiful dress and the slip under it is a great idea. I really like the pink and red with it as well, although I hope the weather improves for you so you can go coat-free!
ReplyDeleteClever move with the black slip underneath the scandalously slitted dress! Those sandals are fabulous on you. xxx
