Since I first got this dress a couple of months ago, this is how I envisioned wearing it (although perhaps slightly less wrinkly!). The dramatic embroidery and Joan of Arc inspiration seems to call for equally dramatic styling. Doesn't it beg to be worn with a black cape and arrow earrings? Oh and these earrings have been such a hunt for me! I fell in love with a very expensive pair of arrow earrings--they shoot directly through the earlobe, but the price was completely out of my budget. Months and months of hunting later and I found these and hit the buy button immediately. They aren't the exact design as the first pair I fell in love with, but they are a much more affordable substitute. With my growing collection of arrow accessories I should probably start learning archery...
