Dress: Elizabeth & James. Boots & Bag: Vintage
I got this silk dress from a recent sample sale for Mary Kate and Ashley’s less expensive clothing line.
I ran around like a woman possessed, stacking my arm with at least 20 I-want-this items, but 30 minutes after leaving the packed communal changing room, I settled on 3. One being this billowy floaty dress with a row of tiny covered buttons, drawstring waist and sleeves. Clearly it needs a good steaming (plus I’m cutting it shorter, it falls below my knee), but I had to show some quick pics. I tied the hem on one side for now (which I sort of like).
Don’t mind the bag, its a DIY stud work in progress.

love it. I love the romantic look of a lot of the Elizabeth & James pieces. Where do you get the studs to diy? I’ve been wanting square pyramid studs…
