When I found this dress about two years ago during a clearance sale I knew it would get worn to death. A summer dress in sheer black? with beads?? plus sleeves??
Dress: Zara (clearance sale). Try Renamed, Asos’s goth kimono, Alice Olivia, Free People (sick!) or Alice By Temperley (on sale). Sandals: Target (yes really). Try Birkenstock or Giambattisa Valli. Bag: Chanel. Try Calvin Klein or Rebecca Minkoff. Nail cuff: Liberty United (guns remade into jewelry to support non gun violence). Try Giles & Brother. Crucifix: New Orleans. Thin rings: Catbird. Try Luv AJ’s stackables.
It’s back to front like my white lace one (it also has a deep v-neckline). It’s bit witchy and a bit goth hence the photography against my fave graffiti wall.
The only thing that’d make me love it more would be a floor length version. No slip came with it so I wore my own things. Whenever you find sheer dresses without any like this sick one by Free People, buy it and wear your own since you decide the transparency which is always too hidden by attached ones which sort of defeats the purpose.
The slide on Birk phase is in full force everywhere and I don’t give two craps because the comfort level is equal to slipper level. Thx Tess for telling me where you found these ridiculous studded versions and to Jean in Utah for posting them to me since New York seems to be sold out (trust me I checked). Team work at it’s best. Paula in London your pair is on it’s way. I think I prefer ’em more than the Giambattisa ones.
ps. This dress over thermals in winter with knit tights and cut off ankle boots = the perfect year rounder.

Brilliant first photo and your dress is gorgeous. Zara clearance sale, seriously!?
Karen says:
Yes I LOVE that picture on the wall of the devil having a smoke. Yes Zara on clearance but I could see why since it was really ripped up around the neckline.

TARGET?! Haha You are always redefining how and where I shop. I can’t believe those are a Tar-jay find. This outfit is absolute perfection. I think the necklace just cinches everything together and makes it show stopping.
