oh my goodness...that belt is amazing!! I love that you often combine black and brown...it's an under-appreciated color combo :).

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the classic look. The absence of legwear changes everything.

I just noticed this dress can be worn with the buttons front or back! Neat project; I'll be very interested to see how this transitions from warmer to cooler weather. :)

When I was a freshman in college, way back in 1969, we were required to wear dresses to class/dinner in the dorms etc. I rebelled by buying a house dress at the local five and dime then wearing it every day. For special occasions, I wore white gloves with it. The next year the school allowed the students to wear whatever they wanted.

This is a fave. Some how the bronzy gold accents cool the black. Amazing.

What if her grandmother died this year? The dress is too short. Oh, yeh, she'll wear slacks under the dress.

I think the chunky necklace and oversized belt dwarf your small frame and overwhelm you. Love the shoes, though!

What the heck is that belt?!? Did you wrap a handbag around your waist? You're crazy, I love it!

Metallic in the only way that works, tarnished/bronzy. Got a good beat and easy to dance to.

Fabulous balance between the not-too-bold accessories and antique bronze accents. The belt seemed to hike up the skirt a little more than usual.

Looking at your site is a wonderful daily ritual for me. I am impressed by your cause and wanted you to know I made a donation online because of previous problems with paypal...Your site inspires reflection on the meaning of creativity, fashion, and sustainability. Thanks!

beautiful and confusing belt. I looove bronze. You are inspiring me to buy fewer clothes (but more accessories...)

Don't quite dig the belt, but I see the complementariness of it with the shoes and necklace. The belt seems too heavy - maybe if a jacket was added to offset the weight...

Love it. With your adorable haircut and the symmetry with the shape of the dress you've got style. The necklace and belt(which is awesome) nicely compliment as well. Rock on!
Posted 1408 days ago.
You are so adorable! Love your legs, your haircut, your creativity. Wish I looked half as good in dresses! Once again, you've come up with a winner of an outfit!
