“The 60s called… and they want their dress back!”

That’s what someone said to me the first time I wore this dress.  Fortunately, I don’t really trust this person’s fashion advice so I wasn’t really fazed by the remark.  I usually only wear this dress around the holidays.  It has little gold flecks running throughout the fabric which makes it extra festive, in my opinion.  However, when I recently scored these cranberry-colored suede shoes (on sale for $30 at Daffy’s, thank you very much!) and then dug up a matching pair of tights… well  I just had to drag this little number out for one last hurrah.

    that person was right….it’s 60s inspired, classic and fab! the tights are an extra nod to the 60s and i think the continuing red leg looks perfect!

      Can you believe I almost passed it up the first time I saw it?! Luckily, it went on clearance and came to my senses lol!

    They are a little tricky to pull off. I almost went for the black version, but I decided to have a little fun instead.
