"A woman’s dress should be like a barbed wire fence: serving it’s purpose without obstructing the view.” - Sophia Lauren
Welcome back FI readers!
Even though women that wear black live colorful lives, black is not my happiest color. Come on now, we’re talking black not my beloved purple. One thing is for sure though, this sexy and edgy black stunner made out of gorgeous lace will not only be your happy color for the day but will have all eyes on you.
I had on a black underlay, a pink clutch and pink sky high heels to finish off this look. Louboutins and Lace, a match made in Heaven. This outfit is a winner with its slimming extra long sleeves, a thumb hole (wow) and colorful blooms cascading down the front. A different color underlay say blush would add a subtle yet bold touch. Feeling daring? Skip the full slip like I had on and go for a bra top and spankies keeping your midriff exposed. This edgy take would work best in the summer months when the rising mercury levels get the better of us.

Another stunning piece by Adaobigogo of Las Vegas Nevada, this party perfect little black dress will be great for attending a wedding or even just a date night. Like I said in my post (here), she does no wrong in my book and has a penchant for designing unique pieces. With her it’s always a hit, never a miss.

Lately I've been loving nail art. I wore this nail look a few weeks ago and I couldn't stop admiring my nails, so what did I do? Went back to the nail shop and of all the other beautiful designs in the world, I got the same exact design with a slightly deeper shade of pink. And I'm back to the 'stare at my nails game' yet again, hehe.
How is the weather where you live? SF weather is so deceptive. Despite the glorious springy sunshine lately, it was windy and freezing cold yesterday. In essence I had an indoor laughter filled fun shoot with my new photographer friends Derrick and Thearon.

Thanks for stopping by, keep thinking the purple thoughts. Xo...
Ooh my goodness, this black is beautiful and colorful because you made it so. Yes, purple is beautiful but babe, you look amazing in anything. The indoor shoot is so magazine worthy. Actually all your photos are. Love your accessories as always. The weather sure is so up and down but we here :). Have a beautiful Sunday sweets.

Hey love! Thanks a lot. I was totally drooling over the pops of color. I'm glad the indoor shoot worked. One thing is for sure, I had fun, hehe. What have you been up to fabulous?
DeleteI love it! It is a fun, flirty and bold outfit. It's black with pops of color so you can wear this more than once - with different shoes and /or accessories.

DeleteVery daring!
ReplyDeleteI love the floral application, looks summery and fresh, but still has edge to it.
And the shoes take everything to the next level (quite figuratively speaking).

Hehe, I feel you Linda. And yes the hot pink shoes were edgy and sexy. Daring comes to mind, :). Have a great weekend ahead.
DeleteI'm not a huge fan of black so I tend to pair it with something brighter.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress though. The floral motif makes gives it a more edge.

Agree with Dania's comment, Idu! That's so VOGUE!!! Your new photographer friends did a fantastic job! Thumbs up! I love to wear black and even more with a pop of color! Lately obsessed with mesh and lace too! ;) This LBD looks absolutely beautiful on you! Bringing the old Hollywood glamour back, gorgeous lady! Whoop, whoop!!!!
DeleteIra / JOURNAL OF STYLE / BLOGLOVIN
Funny I received a lot of emails and messages that thought these images looked editorial as well. Im thinking the contrast worked great then. I was determined to have fun regardless of what the weather served, hehe. Dania thanks darling.
DeleteI'm glad they turned out great. They did a fantastic job and are the best. If laughter is involved I'm in and there was plenty of that. I am so loving lace. Thanks a lot Ira.
DeleteWOWWWWW

Hello gorgeous! The bright pink accessories and the flowers worked in my favor in terms of making it an overall colorful look. School's out, yay! What are you going to do with all that time in your hands, hehe. Not sure myself. I could use some very quiet and unannounced getaways tho. Will do just that. A toast to much needed rest. Thanks a lot and have a fantastic weekend.
