crushed velvet



A red crushed velvet baby doll style dress in my opinion is a costume. Something some bohemian rocker chic would wear on stage with some shredded tights and combats, overloaded with sterling silver adornments. They is something endearing about a peice like this. Perhaps wearing it to a holiday party.. or out to dinner with your boo on valentines day, yah know- something along those lines. Seems like a slightly impractical piece but if its affordable, why not add it to your wardrobe just incase you actually have somewhere cool to go- Dress it down grunge to a concert or after party or dress it up girly on an intimate date- whichever you prefer. Forever 21 has it on sale from $23 down to $12... A steal in my eyes. My version, OF COURSE, was found at my local thrift shop for just $5 bucks equipped with SHOULDER PADS! Not my favorite part, but they could easily be cut out. Below are pics i found off two of my frequently read fashion blogs
Cheyenne Meets Chanel
and
Buffalo Stance
Theyre styling is pretty spot on.
