free people new romantics dress

i’m totally obsessed with this dress/tunic. i saw it online and didn’t really pay much attention to it,  but then wandering through bloomindales in SF it practically sang to me from the racks. it can be dressed up or down, and either way i feel like i’m getting away with wearing something as comfy as pajamas in public. i’m a big fan of that.  dress: free people via shopbop, knit leggings: club monaco, boots: jeffrey campbell via shopbop

i call this: business sequin party wear

if i had a business holiday party to go to, this is what i’d wear (coat on). until i had one too many glasses of wine. then i’d take my coat off and embarrass myself on the dance floor to some beyonce song. so i guess it’s a good thing i don’t have a business holiday party to attend! but if you do, i recommend this dress, highly. (and yes, it is a little short  for business parties, but i feel like with black tights you can get away with it. especially if you throw a long blazer on over it and don’t drink too much wine). dress: TFNC via Asos ($99!) blazer: theory (similar), shoes: cooperative via urban outfitters, watch: marc jacobs, clutch: lauren merkin (similar) bracelets: h&m, stella and dot. photos by my lou
