The Classics Are Always Modern

38 Comments Edit

Personally, I feel that your favorite pieces (be it a plaid shirtdress or a cat-print tote) never go out of style, because things that you love are always "in style." In addition to those items, there are the eternally classic pieces that aren't timeless merely because you enjoy them. Of these I present to you the little black dress and red heels. Seriously, no matter the shape, fabric, or style, it will always be a killer combination. This particular dress silhouette is my favorite and I know this dress is one piece I'll wear forever.

    I love that dress! You look so gorgeous! However, I still think you should have worn it with a cat print bag haha. =p
    I have some things that I LOVE as if they were brand new. But I actually have had them since I was in middle school haha. And those tights are really awesome! I would have never thought they would look that cool with a fancy dress! You're so creative.

    Black and red, always a winning combination. Especially when worn with unexpected details like those x tights.

    But I think the most profound thing here is exactly as you said, "things you love will always be in style." It's so true, not just with fashion, but with LIFE!

    I think sometimes we got emotionally involved with certain items so that we put on some memories over it. I've never bored wearing several favorite classic styled dresses because of such feelings... We could always remix them for a fresher look anyway!
    But yes, LBD and red shoes in one lifetime combo - never goes wrong.
    Plus you looked like a doll here.

    I do love that silhouette in dresses. It's really nice for petite bodies especially.

    That combination of dress and lace body looks a lot like a H&M dress I have that I adore. Those red heels are gorgeous- there's something particularly nice about really bright colours in suede. I also love how the 'plaster crosses' on your knees add a slight childishness to an otherwise very sophisticated outfit.

    I totally agree!!! There are so many things in my closet that I'm sure have been out of style many times, but I adore them so much I continue to wear them. And that LBD is so amazing, I can see why it's one of your favourites!

    That bodysuit fits under that dress so seamlessly. I b ought a dress with a similar shape the other day and it is so flattering! I have a completely different body shape from you but it seems to be nice on everyone!
