St. Elmo's Fire...








Dress, American Apparel. Platform ankle boots, Topshop. Bag, Chanel. Tights, Victoria's Secret.

This look is outside of my daily clothing comfort zone--I think it was the back-seamed tights with the short, thank-god for spandex mini-dress that pushed me over the edge. Plus, I don't typically venture past the Studio 54 era for my fashion, and this look is pure 80's excess. All I need now is a really horrible red Corvette, and a date with Emilio Estevez.

love the outfit, gorgeous shoes!

Outi said...

What an outfit!

I've been considering buying a similar dress for a little while now, except red. I think I am still gathering courage, and wondering where I would wear it in -- it is pretty cold in where I am, at least for now and for a couple of more months to come...

I also like the ankle boots, I am on the hunt for a good pair myself. Those look pretty basic and cool.

Miss G* said...

Love that dress... and the tights... and the shoes... and the purse! Oh, and you look beautiful!
Well, I think I like it...

Who makes these polaroids?
You can't go wrong with them because there's no such thing as bad polaroids. Every Polaroid picture is beautiful.

Trendy Gourmandise said...

Angela said...

I've been vying for a look like this for awhile now.

There's something so eurotrashy about it!!!!

I have the shoes and the bag, I just need the dress..........it's kinda hard to find ones in good cond. here where I live. Still looking though........great outfit pics!!!!

Andy said...
