Left work early today to get ready to go out for a customer Christmas dinner. I wore this Topshop dress that I fell in love with the moment I saw it. Looks a bit like an old fashioned wedding dress hacked short or something a bit vintagey.
I wore it with the trashy glam bag I found at the thrift shop on Saturday for $2. Its furry so feels cosey when it brushes on skin. I’ve already been caught um….petting it. The Zara boots you know already.
ps. LOVED the images on the walls in the pictures. The sharp teeth everywhere looked so demonic and cool. New York has SICK graffiti.

The Queen of Hearts says:
I loved this look until I saw the shoes and the purse. I feel like the shoes aren’t quite right for the look — incorrect edge or amount of edge compared to the lace dress (tender) and the strength of the leather jacket. And I may be a b for this one but really don’t like the bag. I’m definitely biased because I personally loathe animal prints, but I’m just not in love with the construction.
K says:
dress was made for you
bbbethany says:
I love the combination of what looks like a dress we’d wear for Sunday morning church when we were young with the darker, opposite items like the boots and purse. GREAT look.
Karen says:
Holy crap. I’m glad you lot liked the dress as much as I do. Soon as I clapped eyes on it I had to get it. I should really try looking for one at a thrift shop but that’s hit or miss. This one was right THERE so I had to have it.
Iris – I got the US size 2 on the Topshop US website.
