My first thought with a brocade dress like this is usually a party--something fancy and perhaps simple (gold shoes, some sort of cardigan/shawl to keep you warm, etc). However, after numerous viewings of the Carven Fall 2012 collection I decided to style this a little more school uniform/properish. You can't see the full tulip-shape of the skirt too well because my cardigan is a bit long, but I love the way the layers downplay the luxe fabric.

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
I think it looks great - such a nice contrast to the luxe fabric with the blouse and tights :)
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes. And as always you have killer locations! http://nauticalowl.blogspot.com/

I love this look! The shape of that dress is perfect with the fabric. You did a great job taking a traditionally 'dressy' looking garment and making it work for everyday! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow imaginative! I have a similar dress which I might have to wear with your inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteWiki answers just told me your title means "My little cabbage" but in an endearing way! I think I'll use it when talking to my husband :P
