Leopard on leopard before, now floral on floral!



Dress: Spanish Moss American Gold. Wedges: Topshop (similars here, here and here). Top hat: Trash & Vaudeville. Bag: Coach. Rings: Gifts/Vintage (similars here and here). Cycling shorts (unseen).
Never been to a posh Hamptons summer party, but if I did I’d wear something like this I think?
LOVE floral prints.  Wearing one at a time is fine but it’s loads more fun to mix them and of course I like this dress because it feels a bit vintage. 
ps. How dinky is this bag?  Definitely the tiniest addition to my *cough cough* growing collection (alot smaller than this and this brown one).  It’s the baby of the bunch.

    great ensemble!! cant decide which i love more, the shoes or dress?!?! <333

  28. Nati says:

    I love the dress, but I find American Gold clothing to be really petite on the bust area, and I’m not that busty (36″)… Would you recommend I stay away from this dress too? I’d love to buy it but I’m afraid it wouldn’t fit, so please advise..

    hi, just came across. love that dress on u! and very detail of this outfit! suits u a loot! hugs xxx

    Nati – It is petite on the bust area so I would suggest going a size up. If your a S get M etc. That way the buttons will close with no pulling.

    Breeybee – try it in a simplified version e.g. black wedges with black thin ankle socks. Its a good intro into it : )

    Sarah – do it’s clashing patterns which is fun.
