A Little Glitter #FashionFriday

I have worn this dress before and posted about it right here on the blog.  It’s even what I’m wearing in the little photo on my sidebar.

It’s a comfortable, versatile dress that looks like a bright floral print in summer and a holiday/Valentine’s Day thing in the winter.

I almost always pair it with red.  Red lipstick.  Red shoes.  Even a red purse.

It’s the obvious combination.

But I don’t post about fashion to always do the obvious.  I post about it to take chances with what I am wearing and encourage you to do the same.  I do it with other outfits, so it only made sense to do the same with this dress.

I don’t have anything red or pink on other than the dress, and it pops in a totally different, evening appropriate way than the typical daytime look.

From smoky eyes to nude glittered lipstick and a wild printed bag to sky high sparkly stilettos, nothing truly matched and yet, it’s a look that works.

I wore it when we went to Besa, the restaurant I posted about earlier this week.

When is the last time you took a fashion risk?

Dress: Giambatista Valli // Shoes: Jimmy Choo // Bag: Burberry // Wrap: Gucci

PS Aren’t Mom’s Stuart Weitzman bow pumps cute?  There might be a couple left on sale if you look really hard.

    I really like this look! Just curious, have you ever tried a makeup primer that is good for photos? A few companies make them, I know Smashbox has one. It helps your foundation look more translucent in photos taken with a flash.

    I don’t ever take risks in my wardrobe. It’s usually very monochromatic and mostly black! I just happened to have the TV on Ellen yesterday and Julia Roberts was on and she was in a red outfit. She said she felt better in color and was trying to wear it more often or something to that effect. When I worked, I did more color and more risks. I even work pink and red together and got many stares!! LOL! Maybe a fashion risk is in my retired future….Your’s looks terrific!!!

Currently craving a giant slice of this Espresso V Currently craving a giant slice of this Espresso Vanilla Bean Tiramisu Cake. Then again, when am I not craving it??? This cake has all the flavors of tiramisu and is covered in a drippy glaze that packs a second kick of coffee. So that means it's totally acceptable to eat this for breakfast, right??? ☕😋
