BLACK VELVET

FashionOutfits
Jan 10, 201827 Comments

I don’t often dress in all neutrals but days on end of dreary weather can put me in the mood for grays and blacks. I wore this yesterday on a very foggy afternoon. I am trying to appreciate winter while it lasts, I know that I will be missing the opportunities to wear my favorite coats and boots. I got this adorable dress at & Other Storie when I was in Paris last month. I am already getting my wear out of it!

Wearing a vintage coat, & Other Stories black velvet dress with mock shirt, Marsell boots from several years ago, and Ferragamo Fiama bag.

    I was going to say, this is a very “grey” look for you! But sometimes, the weather really can affect our sartorial choices. ESPECIALLY if you live in a grey & bleak country lol I.E Scotland like me!

    I’ve always been a fan of your more flamboyant looks, but lately the neutral and menswear inspired outfits have become my new favorite :)

      Thank you! That means a lot to me. I’ll always lean towards the brighter, more fun looks but I’m really enjoying the simplicity and clean lines of menswear. Especially in the winter!
