Street Sweeper...

As of late my style has been changing in extremes. I went from neutral everything to outbursts of obnoxious colors, heels to sneakers, harems to micro minis and now floor sweeping numbers. I'm all for the notion of being sexy while covered up. Took a quick browse around the web today and stumbled upon these beauties in my search.


A:: I saw this dress at the Alexander Wang store last week and thought, "Oh man we have a 90's revival on our hands". Now giving it a second look I've fallen head over heels. Panne velvet in burgundy only ups the elegance factor.

B:: My roommate tipped me off to this dress at Zara. Long sleeves with a sky high slit is the epitome of covert sexiness. I love when a woman is comfortable enough to be completely covered--speaks volumes of one's confidence.

C:: Another wine stained dress, this time by DVF. The designer is notorious for flattering every body shape with her wrap dress and this one with a floor grazing length is no exception (I think I have a new obsession with all things in the bordeaux family).

D:: T by Alexander Wang really hit the mark this season. This dress is the perfect foundation to be bold and over accessorize-- channel substantial rings and door knockers earrings or swap out for a statement necklace and a stack of thin subtle bracelets.


I have a few weddings towards the end of the year and this is exactly what I want to wear. I spotted the look and thought, "Get it, Got it, Good!" The T by Alexander Wang Panne velvet slip dress executed to perfection with a chic long necklace, hip skimming cardigan, and a not too fancy clutch. Just imagine my fox fur coat draped over as I make my way to/from the ceremony and reception!!
