Geometric Print Dress

I always tell my friends that if you are decided to go to a party, then you should look smashing. If you’re not in a mood for a party, better stay at home. Why do I say that? Because I’ve noticed that when women look at pictures taken at parties, they all get depressed and start criticizing their outfits.

For my next party, I’ve selected a black and white dress with geometric print from Suzi Chin. It’s a classic model, but I’m sure I’ll be remarked by the other guests.

Little Black Dress… With Roses


I was never a fan of paisley dresses worn on special occasions. Frankly, I’m not a pattern fan on dresses. I always considered that a dress cut is more important than it color. But this black dress with a rose pattern really caught my attention. It looks to me to be a restyled Victorian dress for our times. So, although the seller marked this lovely black dress as a party dress, I think it is more appropriate for a walk if it is combined with a cardigan.
