some ivory

by Karen Blanchard
29 October 2009

Dress: French Connection. Boots: Topshop. Faux fur gilet: H&M. Bag: Thrift DIY Studded. Watch: Borrowed from the boyfriend
I quickly changed clothes when I got in from work to head out for the night.
I wore the boots and fur gilet this time with my fave ivory dress by FCUK. They always have great dresses like these ones. I’ve worn this dress before with the cropped fur and minnetonkas posted here.
Black on black is always cool, but I think this is my favourite way to wear these boots, with a contrasting light colour. I think.…It’s early days still.

    I’m also usually a black on black girl but the touch of ivory is very refreshing.

    Congrats on your new boots btw. My ovtk heels from Zara are waiting to be taken out as well.
    I also had a hard time finding the perfect pair.

    Great Pics! That place is amazing, with the smoke and everything.

    Maybe its the smokey effect of the pics or the light coloured dress but I’m picturing a blinged out (or studded) boot harness strappy thing at your ankles… do you have one that you can add on so we can see how the boot looks that way?

    lol and I apologize for treating you like my personal dressup doll

    I like the idea to soften the black with this dress so feminine and a bit retro, I like to wear white in winter, very Ann Demeulemeester

    And you, miss lady, are as chic as always! Love the new boots, so glad you love em too, and when paired with that dress, it’s just simply breath-taking. So yeah.. I’m in love with the styling here as well 🙂
