Whether wearing summer colours or autumn colours it's all about making it your own, and donning a hue at any given time in your way. That's definitely what I think about when selecting an outfit. This dress in particular is an older style that I made years ago from taking different garments apart. The colours in the printed petticoat are my favourite part. But, I also love this dress because it may be worn in versatile climates. And for me, autumn/winter means more layering to achieve a variety of styles.
Originally, I created this for someone else, however could not depart from it during the time I was selling other boutique items. I have several pieces like this still resting in my fashion archives, mostly because I am completely drawn to either the colour combinations, its unique textures, or the simple the fact of knowing exactly what was occurring in my life at the time it was produced.

This vintage-style floral tapestry motif is feminine, bold, and almost demands the stare of an artist, because of its intricate details within the print—at a closer look there's indigo, rust, and even coral accents of lighter hues that you don't see in a first gaze. But, the dress also caters to anyone who loves to do a stylish twirl with fullness.
I went for this adorable belt, and paired it with burgundy leather boots and my favourite metallic jacket. Once again exciting colours that could want nothing more in return than the reward of a confident smile in a wear. I smiled, I laughed, and only did a mental twirl since time was of the essence. No music was not needed, but I will tell you, it would have been a refreshingly sweet tune!
Music does have a way of expressing one's feelings ... and colours are a way of showcasing one's attitude.

You are such a skilled lady--- can't believe you made that! (Who am I kidding- I can completely believe you made it, I just wouldn't be able to myself!) Very Pretty!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand not wanting to part with some items because I'm very sentimental when it comes to some pieces in my wardrobe..I really like the contrast of the top & bottom part of the dress they complement each other and how you styled it with the boots to highlight the colors are great..this is a lovely outfit.

Hi there! Thanks doll, Hope you're doing well! xx
ReplyDeleteSimply loving this dress, such an interesting waistline! The colours suit you so well!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my blog, means a lot that you come back and visit even though I'm such a lazy blogger. :)
I love the pattern and colour of this outfit!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is fab and totally agree, it doesn't really matter what colour palette you are using for Fall or any other season, what really matter is if you are capable of making it rock and owning the colour.
I really like your whole style and you are beautful yourself.
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie,
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely weekend. What a beautiful dress, the print and colours are pretty and they are picked up beautifully by those burgundy boots which are amazing by the way. I have to say I am in love with your jacket, the shape is so chic and the metallic sheen adds a great twist. :)
Take care and have a great week,
Daniella xox

It's such a gorgeous look. The peach is a great colour on you. And the belt is definitely the most adorable thing ever.
ReplyDeleteThat color and print are beautiful together, I can totally understand why you didn't want to part with it. White on navy actually makes me happy and seems to lift my mood - even though they are such basic colors :)
ReplyDeletemy gosh, it's the cutest belt I've seen in a while :) and I really like that floral pattern, especially the close-up.

Cute dress, and it looks great with the metallic coat over it!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was that I love the dress. I can totally see myself wearing it all winter long with a big, cozy brown cardigan. But then I got completely sidetracked by your belt! I had a cairn terrier growing up, so I love all things Scotty! (They're very similar looking. Think Toto from the Wizard of Oz. :) )
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that this dress was made by up-cycling two other garments. You definitely make it your own in the making, styling AND wearing.
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit :) xoxo, Mina.
