The weather has been unseasonably mild here in Southern California. It's hard to fathom that we are nearing the end of January.
Today's post features an outfit that's perfect for a mild evening/night out.
Of course, being the lover of vintage that I am, I "needed" to wear my elbow length vintage gloves.
No, but seriously, they are a nice alternative for milder temperatures when going sleeveless.
If temps are cooler, a shirt can be worn underneath and tights along with boots.
I really like my crochet collar necklace, as it dresses up the neckline.
For a more casual look, I remove the necklace, gloves, heels, clutch, and moto jacket.
Instead, I pair it with a black sweater, ballet flats, and a handbag.
The colors and the print in the skirt of this dress are very vibrant. I wanted them to be the main focal point.
To accomplish that, I kept all accompanying colors dark.
Jewelry: Nordstrom Rack (For those that follow me on IG, you know that I scored the earrings for $1.00 USD!)
Dress: Just Taylor
Leather Gloves: Vintage, thrifted (similar worn here)
Faux Leather Moto Jacket: Jones New York
Clutch: Vintage, thrifted
I am so jealous of all the sunshine you guys have. I love the dress and the gloves make the look classic.
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm sorry Ciaa! I am sending sunshine your way! ;) Thank you, the gloves set it off in my opinion! When I wear it to the office, it is not nearly this fun!

Thanks CoCo!!! I wear it with ballet flats to work, and it gets along really well ;) Although those gloves are vintage, I have a quarter length pair from Victoria's Secret online (a few years back) so I imagine other online retailers may sell them too.
DeleteVery chic! Love that skirt and I absolutely love how you styled it!! The gloves are everything btw! Fabulous! Love your style! New follower!
