Dress: Foley & Corinna (similar versions here, here or here). Tapestry boots: Rodarte for Opening Ceremony (similars here,  here and here). Bangle: Vintage (similar here).  Oval clutch: Balenciaga. Double ring: Made her Think (similar in gold here). 
I just realized this is a semi back to back posting of something else from F&C – at least they’re completely different looks :-/
This dress is about as Spanish dancer-like as I’ll ever wear – a rare moment. Thumbs up for the ruffles and that the hem is lower at the back vs the front – bonus points for showing the carpet tapestry boots. I’m holding the dress up but when down it still shows your shoes. (the gold versions are shown here from an older post).

ps. I guest blogged on Boticca.com – have a peek at my picks here (I want their clutch with the cuff attached!)
