Apologies for the long delay. I very very honestly intended to post this second part in the red dress series the week immediately following the first post, but… stuff. Lots of stuff. Sickness and stuff. Booooo!
So, anywho, here’s part two of making outfits out of a single red dress. How do you think I did?
Refresher!
First, the red dress in question:
I purchased this dress on Amazon for under $30! It arrived in two days! It has pockets! It’s machine washable! It’s “Fun to Wear!”
Amazon product descriptions never lie.
Refresher!
OUTFIT ONE: Never Again
This outfit reminds me of my ill-fated trip to Santa Fe. NEVER AGAIN.
What I Added:
- Long bandana-print scarf –J.Crew
- dark denim military jacket – Lauren Ralph Lauren, Bloomingdales
- gold metallic booties – Tipe E Tacchi on Yoox
OUTFIT TWO: Stop Trying to Make Spring Happen
It has been unseasonably (unreasonably?) cold in San Francisco. Do you think if I wear enough floral patterns I can make Spring come early? Fuck this weather, for reals.
What I Added:
- pink floral print top – Zara
- pink faux suede trench – Zara
- yellow leather braided wrap belt – Ada
- red leather sock boots with little stud thingies – Topshop
OUTFIT THREE: Once Again I Question Your Commitment to Sparkle Motion
I am fucking ecstatic about daytime sequins being a thing.
What I Added:
- black and multicolor paillette dress – H&M
- black 3/4-sleeve blazer – Zara
- black suede booties – Taryn Rose on RueLaLa
OUTFIT FOUR: Holiday Spirit
This outfit made more sense when I put it together back in December. I was going for “xmas tree.” I think I more or less pulled it off. Meh.
What I Added:
- green plaid silk shirt – Equipment at Nordstrom
- dark denim shell with frayed edges – Gap
- green suede boots – I can’t remember the brand, but from Yoox
OUTFIT FIVE: Leopard and Zippers and Mesh. Oh my!
This feels like a very uncharacteristic “tough” outfit for me. I think I’d have to get myself psyched up just to put it on. Maybe play the Peaky Blinders Spotify playlist. More specifically, The Baddest Man Alive from The Black Keys and RZA:
Although, now I think I should have put black motorcycle boots with this instead of those fairly tame grey suede ones. They are inadequately badass.
What I Added:
- mesh dress – Universal Standard
- grey leopard vest – Jolt on Nordstrom Rack
- grey suede booties – Dolce Vita
OUTFIT SIX: I Guess I Like Grey
I have a fondness for grey. What does that say about my personality? Anything? It’s just a versatile color. Don’t judge me.
What I Added:
- grey heather tissue turtleneck – JCrew
- grey crepe sleeveless trench – River Island
- embroidered wrap belt – Gap
- grey suede booties – Dolce Vita
OUTFIT SEVEN: Furry Fury
Not that kind of furry. The other one.
What I Added:
- white thermal tee – Gap
- rabbit fur snood – Barneys
- brown faux leather jacket – Bagatelle on Nordstrom Rack
- leather swallow stick pin – Obey
- rabbit fur fingerless mittens – Adrienne Landau on Gilt
- brown combat boots – Dr. Martens
So, yeah. That’s part two. Revisiting it now after a few months, I’m less sold on this set than I was the first. But, I think it wasn’t half bad! Meh!
I hope to get back to blogging more regularly. Fingers crossed.
Hope you’ve been well.
