Dress: Thrifted. Beaded bag: Thrifted. Ankle boots: Trash & Vauderville. Jewellery: Random street vendors/H&M.

I was out a bit earlier today and thank God it was well before the heavens opened up. Major (said like Victoria Beckham) down pour.
The satin and sequin mini dress is thrifted. It’s a bit worn here and there with threads and the odd sequin hanging off, but that makes me love it all the more.
Deliberately imperfectly perfect. Does that make sense?

    Oooh, so perfectly Balmain. But with the grungey rock’n’roll element thrown in (those fantastic shoes!)

    I agree, the boots are def. Alaia inspired. Love them. I was actually looking for something similar. Have to check out Trash & Vaudeville when I’m in NY in Sept. Last time I found a great lace corset dress there.
