Dress: Vintage. Boots: Emma Cook. Fur jacket: Vintage/Thrift. Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). Black shawl: Thrift. Snake ring: East village boutique. Nail polish: Dollar by Rococo.
The jacket ended up being removed since it was so damn warm today in New York. Isn't it December soon? What's up with the mild weather?
I don't wear this dress often enough and really need to. I got it at a vintage shop in the Lower East Side (same place that I got the coin necklace posted here). It's actually a swingy A-line-ish shape but I prefer it worn belted.
The stud belt is too big to be worn at the waist so I did a twist knot thingy to make it stay. I need to find a stud belt that's meant for the waist to wear over loads of dresses. Speaking of dresses, I just noticed that asos.com has a ton of gorge ones right now here and I'm staring at a few of them for abnormally long lengths of time I think :-/
I really love the dress. The color is great and I like how you belted it. xoxo

Have you ever been to Circa Now on 6th street? I've lived here my whole life and it's one of my favorite places to get vintage dresses/blouses/bags. Small selection but everything is incredible. Just thought I'd mention it in case you've never been!
