When I was in fourth grade, all I wanted was this velvet bodysuit that had long, belled sleeves and went off the shoulders. Every trend I was fond of was a component of this one little bodysuit and I just had to have it. When my friend came to class in a similar top that was not an actual bodysuit, I made sure to remind her that come the new year, I would have its superior counterpart. We had matching bubble necklaces; it was only natural that we should also match our outfits, too.
Well, I never did get that velvet bodysuit or anything remotely similar, but this dress is a close second. I didn't dare lament about it; once you've received a pony as a Christmas gift, you really can't complain about anything. Ever.
p.s. I have a bad habit of forgetting to close my bags...it has a cute little studded strap that goes over the flap.
great outfit!!!

Yes a pony will make up for an awful lot! Not a huge fan of crushed velvet in general, but this is very pretty - in particular with the cute lace cover up.
ReplyDeleteLove the velvet..you look fabulous!!

Love the colour of your velvet dress x
ReplyDeleteThis feels like a Christmas party outfit. Crushed velvet always reminds me of the 90's (good, bad, whatever).
ReplyDeletei too was obsessed with crushed velvet as a kid. oh, the 90s.

And wait, you actually got a real life pony for Christmas?? Lucky!

I can't believe you make even crushed velvet look decent, you got some talent girl :)
ReplyDeletei love the layering of velvet and the lace! am not a fan of velvet though!! http://fashionablenotebook.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletei've been fascinated with velvet lately and you, my dear, pull it off without a flaw! It looks absolutely gorgeous with the dark lace and tights. That raspberry color truly pops out! And the green studded bag totally sets it off. Beautiful! xxA, thelaughslut.blogspot.com

velvet is definitely making a come back. a friend of mine had a velvet cape with a hood, which i wouldn't advise, but otherwise velvet is hot!
ReplyDeleteVelvet and lace can go oh so wrong, but this look is nothing but beautiful! I love the studded bag - it's an unexpected pop of color!

I had that velvet bodysuit when I was 10! It was hot pink, had bell sleeves and was crushed velvet. I wore it for my jazz recital that year. Now I wonder if my mom still has it...
ReplyDeletewell that is just lush, darling!! :D
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing!
The styling is genius! Velvet always reminds me of the holidays.
ReplyDeletePlease, tell me which lipstick are you wearing!
ReplyDeleteYou should always write it down, you have such a good taste for make up as you do for clothings ;D
i think this is such a beautiful outfit. The color scheme really suits you. love that velvet dress-what a gorgeous color on you. and i really really want your black lace jacket-fabulous! and i love that pop of green your little purse gives the whole look. the studs are really great too.
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! I especially love the lace cardi, it's so chic on you!

Oh ma gaaad I'm IN LOVE with your bag. And this post is making me regret big time that I didn't buy a similar lace shirt I saw at the thrift store yesterday. Oh well! I'll find a better one someday...
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really glad that velour and velvet are back! Tacky as they might be, that is some cozy shit. It makes me feel all fancy and snuggly all at once :P
a pony is quite a gift =)
ReplyDeletebut I totally love the lace and velvet together
looks great!!!

Well , the view of the passage is totally correct ,your details is really reasonable and you guy give us valuable informative post.let’s introduce something interesting about superb Michael Jordan's performance and his weapon nike air max 2011.Jordan has repeatedly said: "The shoes air jordan 2010 are my clothes for a department, a department of my personality. " We can use the "Michael Jordan jordan retro shoes and new jordan shoes 2010 "to refer to Michael Jordan, or call his shoes such as nike shox torch.
