Class it up!

This dress was another killer find in Chch, although I had to work hard to make it look classy! I wore it in a situation where I was possibly going to be confronted with someone I don't like who also seems to think they are better than me. Or is threatened by me? Who knows, I don't really subscribe to the bullshit. Except that I had to look better and also make it obvious that I looked better. So the cleavage can't help but be out in this dress (you may notice the sparkles which are gold shimmer dust NOT sweat!), the other issue is that it's rather short on me. On top of that, I don't have any tights clean and in a wearable condition - they really are a terrible invention in terms of resilience. In the end I went without tights, and wore the mid-calf boots I always wear. Then I added the white cardigan and some pearl accessories, including oversized stud earrings. I have an obsession lately with black berets. I've been dying to find one with a layer of wool over a layer of black sequins but to no avail. Instead I got a thick knit acrylic slouch one, and a wool traditional style one. The slouch one has already proved its worth in terms of wearability and versatility - as well as practicality. Then I just put a black knee-length coat over top of the whole thing. I looked damn good but, as the story goes, she never showed. Ah well! x
