| DRESS: Printed bell sleeve dress Charles Henry, similar and in orange SHOES: Red shoes Biviel HAND BAG: Black handbag Nina Ricci NECKLACE: Kate Spade Saturday |
Just the other day I was making a comment on a blog when the idea came up. The idea of something being pleasingly ugly. It's not easy on the eyes, but so nice. It's bad, but good. It's odd, it happens and this outfit is proof. Allow me to explain. This dress does not need much accessorising, its printed and with long sleeves, so shoes, a handbag plus a pair of earrings should do. But, like I've said before I tend to add instead of subtract.
So, a moment before heading out the door I picked up a black and white chunky fabric link necklace from the Kate Spade Saturday collection (R.I.P.) and something clicked. It looked terrible. But, I liked it. In my head it worked, just for me ; )
Oh, and I'll be posting a close up on my Instagram, on the right bar of the blog you can see it.

Oh very cute style darling!

I grasp your concept and like the outfit. The ultimate judge is you -- if you like the way an outfit looks, then it passes the test. Besides, I can't separate seeing you in clothing from you as a person -- you're so nice that your inner sweetness radiates outward and makes everything you wear look better.
Very nice dress. Beautiful colours.
I love your dress, thanks for sharing, you look stunning!!!
Dear Lorena, how good you decided to wear this necklace! I really love the combination and I understand that you like it, too! Cool idea. I will keep it in my mind.

Sometimes competing patterns can work really well, and while this dress can clearly stand on it's own, sometimes a little extra isn't bad!

¡Hola, Lorena! Mira que la combinación entre el collar y el vestido pinta fea en un primer momento, no se me hubiese ocurrido... pero coincido en que hay algo especial en ella, la magia de un buen estilismo como el tuyo!
Un beso y feliz domingo,

ps: thx for your comment!
I love this dress! The built in print mixing is so great. I often wear things just for myself. I think that is what fashion is all about.
