Hi people, hope you are enjoying your weekend so far? I was rummaging around in FTV yesterday looking for a new dress and came across this amazing little number. The black and gold geometric stripes of this dress were so eye-catching and took me hurtling back to the mid 70’s & early 80’s. Not that I remember the mid 70’s but I was very heavily influenced by artists like Bowie and Bryan Ferry in my younger days, not only was the music awesome but these guys had a wonderful sense of style. Actually, I have to admit now that I was deeply in love with Bryan Ferry he was so suave & sexy and always looked stylin’. Of course he was about 20 years too old for me lol, but these girly crushes when you are a kid make no sense at all do they? Anyway, maybe this clip from Roxy Music will give you a feel for my meaning here. Note Jerry Hall in the slinky outfit towards the end, and imagine me pushing her out of the way – he’s MINE! Not sure about the mustache but heh, it’s Bryan I forgive him.
Anyway, enough waffling & back to the outfit. The grid was really borked last night when I put this outfit together. I took the skirt off to adjust the pants layer as they are pretty short and my ao kept showing unwanted thigh. Sadly, no matter how much I tried, the grid would not put my skirt back on so I was forced to walk around without it. However, it wasn’t a bad look at all, in fact, it was a smexy little jumpsuit or so I kept telling myself :D You can also buy this dress in silver and black too – YAY!
I have paired the outfit with heels from Storm Schmooz, big sunglasses and hair by Kin to bring the look back to 2008. We can’t keep reliving our yoofs can we?
