The Mex dress

Bronze vintage key cuff worn with leather stud bracelet Coach, here another cool leather bracelet 

This Mexican embroidered dress is a treat to wear. I bought it a few years ago in Mexico City and had it altered as it was much wider and much longer.

Not only do I love the its vintage vibe but, it reminds me of my grandmother's "lounge wear". Funny thing is a friend told me I reminded him of his very own grandmother, which now that I think of it is not much a compliment. But, don't get me wrong, I still love this dress and plan on hanging on to it ;)

Did anyone ever tell you that what you were wearing reminded them of grandma?

Blah jeans

Dark blue jeans DKNY, similar - Striped cashmere sweater, similar in pink

Metallic satchel Stella Rittwagen - Green suede loafers Zara, similar

Flower yarn necklace via Entrenudos, here another cool crochet option

These DKNY blah jeans were a dead stock purchase. Once again I did not try them on. Lately it's become a bad habit. So, yeah, they are not what I expected them to be, they look blah. One wear and they are out to consignment. I am back on the hunt of a good pair of jeans.
What brand is the jeans that fit you best?

Balmain spirit

Black long sleeve fringe dress H&M, similar 

Metallic satchel Stella Rittwagen

Suede block heel shoes Breckelles, similar here

 

The fringe sleeve - Evil eye ring, love these multiple ones - Mickey mouse ears ring, similar

The moment I laid eyes on this dress I was smitten. It was the fringe of the Balmain spirit in a H&M body, although it could also be Stella McCartney's. 

Sleeves were extremely long so I had it altered. Since then I wore it to one of the Fashion Week runway shows last year, to a cocktail and then today. 

Today I realised its a bit big on the collar and waist area and also kind of short. So I am having second thoughts.

Do you have any fringe in your closet?
