angels and demons

Dress: Topshop. Jacket & Boots: Zara. Bag: Thrift. Rings: street vendors
Left work early today to get ready to go out for a customer Christmas dinner. I wore this Topshop dress that I fell in love with the moment I saw it. Looks a bit like an old fashioned wedding dress hacked short or something a bit vintagey.
I wore it with the trashy glam bag I found at the thrift shop on Saturday for $2. Its furry so feels cosey when it brushes on skin. I've already been caught um....petting it. The Zara boots you know already.
ps. LOVED the images on the walls in the pictures. The sharp teeth everywhere looked so demonic and cool. New York has SICK graffiti.

  43. heyyy! i love your clothing! im a student currently living in nyc and would love to know what thrift stores you go to! I can never find any good ones...

  44. I loved this look until I saw the shoes and the purse. I feel like the shoes aren't quite right for the look -- incorrect edge or amount of edge compared to the lace dress (tender) and the strength of the leather jacket. And I may be a b for this one but really don't like the bag. I'm definitely biased because I personally loathe animal prints, but I'm just not in love with the construction.

  45. dress was made for you

  46. I love the combination of what looks like a dress we'd wear for Sunday morning church when we were young with the darker, opposite items like the boots and purse. GREAT look.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Holy crap. I'm glad you lot liked the dress as much as I do. Soon as I clapped eyes on it I had to get it. I should really try looking for one at a thrift shop but that's hit or miss. This one was right THERE so I had to have it.

    Iris - I got the US size 2 on the Topshop US website.

  53. wow that dress is really amazing. i especially like the fact that you can toughen it up with a leather jacket and booties, just like you did!
