Dress: Vintage. Boots: LF (also sold on Solestruck). Chunky winter headband: Etsy here


***
If there’s one thing I love to wear now for Autumn, it’s velvet. This off shoulder taupe maxi had my name all over it. I’ll wear it when it’s colder over thick tights and a skinny black polo neck. Stupid high platforms optional till I concede to something less vertical.
I can’t do the headband thing but this chunky version sent from my girlfriend works and makes a change from brimmed hats. (Was this post really the last time that I wore a headband here??). Either way I loved hers so much, she sent me this one in charcoal.

    I am big on textures, but velvet isn’t generally one of them. However, you ROCK it and make this tricky textile look gorg! Love the second last pic – so fierce!

    Kept scrolling, scrolling down to see where that velvety soft dress came from..and cross my fingers in hopes it wasn’t vintage, but of course! Bummer

    Hey Karen – maybe this one should be for Michael – but how do achieve that glow from the light behind you – from the window…it looks dreamy! Is it exposure on the camera or is it done in editing the photo after?

    Thanks
