I couldn't decide how to wear it so I took pictures of all 4 ways.
-- Lanvin dress -- Banana Republic necklace -- gold braided belt from Manila --
-- Stuart Weitzman wedges ---- Lanvin dress -- Banana Republic necklace as belt -- Express brooch as pendant --
-- Manolo Blahnik peep toes --
-- Lanvin dress -- Mimi di N lion belt -- Emma Carroll earrings won from NiniStyle.net --
-- Alaia slingbacks --
-- Lanvin dress -- zipper necklace DIY here -- belt from Manila --
-- Alaia snakeskin peep toes --
In the end, I chose the last look.
Here's a few more pix together with the hubz.
Here's a tighter shot to show a close-up of my DIY zipper necklace.
I looped it around my dress' strap to create an interesting neckline.
Up next: my review of Restaurant Alma where the chef/owner, Alex Roberts was recently awarded the James Beard Best Chef in the Midwest for 2010!

Oh, G. You look so fab! The DIY necklace is the perfect ¨icing¨ to the perfect LBD. :) I´d prefer the 1st look too kasi I love bling and it´s glittery. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo you´ve just bought a new house? We too have just bought a new flat. I´m so excited how you´re going to decorate your new ¨digs¨ because I´m still at a loss with mine. hahaha!
Can´t wait for the restaurant review and see food photos. Yummy!
¡Un abrazo!
You look gorgeous, and the necklace is BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteDear Grace, First I MUST say that this black Iconic-like finery ideally suits your dark-haired mane . . . AND that I really like your final option's "Radical CHIC" vibrancy !!!
