Orange Crush

by Michael Marrs

4 January 2016

The first outfit post for 2016 in a dress from the best place…

Dress: Mum. Try Asos’ maxi dresses or try a shorter version (on sale). Gladiator sandals: Mango. Try Ancient Greek (comes in darker colors). Bag: Madewell. Shades: Ray-Ban. Pendant: DIY

So I’m in a dress that Mum gave to me. “Do you like this?” she said, holding it up. I almost couldn’t speak when I saw the eye popping orange and bell sleeves.

It’s hard to find a similar one to it although I KNOW I’ve seen one. If I remember I’ll link to it outside of the ones above. A natural leather tote and sandals were added to keep it super dressed down. You’ve seen the gladiator sandals in other outfit posts here with a jumpsuit and here with a crochet dress.

Surplus pics and video from the stay so far are on Snapchat and Instagram Karenbritchick
