An awkward remix...


This dress was a little Christmas treat to myself.  I've only posted it once, but I actually wear it quite often.  It's one of those dresses that I'm not good at remixing.  I feel like adding a cardigan takes away from look of the dress instead of adding to it.  I did attempt it today, with a lace and pearl cardigan, but even still, I prefer it on it's own.


dress: hell bunny via Rowena
cardigan: ruche (old)
shoes: spring (old)


I actually have the perfect new shoes for this dress... but I bought them as my "second shoes" for the wedding, so I'm not wearing them until the wedding. Afterwards, they'll definitely be a staple with this dress. 




You can't tell in these photos, but this dress does an amazing twirl.  It's a really light and flowy fabric, so the twirl is a low trumpet style twirl.  I'm tempted to purchase some of the new Spring & Summer hell bunny dresses because they look similar in style/fabric as this one. 

Do you have any dresses that you have a hard time remixing? I'd love to hear suggestions!

  2. Oh, this is gorgeous. I like it with the cardigan (do you have a link to your post without the cardi but with this dress?)

    I've two vintage dresses that are harder. In winter I'll put a sweater over them. Let us know if you get any good ideas :D

  3. The collar detail on this dress is so pretty and I love the forest green with your hair color. Have a great weekend!
