All That Jazz

Fedora - Oasap / / Sunglasses - ℅ ZeroUV / / Sequin print dress - ℅ Great Plains / / Belt - Vintage / / Kimono - ℅ USC / / Necklace - New look (old) / / Shoes - All Saints

Trying something a little different today: a beautiful ultra chic and feminine dress from Great plains. I felt very womanly and grown up in this sequin print. When styling this i wanted to keep the elegant vibe but give it a fresh, younger feel. Adding a long oversized beaded necklace helps to keep the look i wanted to active, specially shortening the dress length by pulling it in at the waist with a thin belt. A bit of texture clashing always adds interest plus this delicate lace kimono adds a fun element (i'm sorry i really did try to leave the kimono out of it but i'm like a moth to a flame!) Although there is a lot going on in this outfit, keeping the accessories one colour pulls the look together. To me, i stepped out of my comfort zone styling something i'm not used to, i am really fond of this outfit and I'd like to think i still kept my retro edge.

I was thinking that dress was no way mature looking until you told us your little secrets, haha. I love how you kept all the other pieces black so the beautiful color of the dress pops out. I seriously love the kimono with it too! And seriously, the heels are so great, I really need a pair ♡
