'Take A [Fashion] Bath Once Or Twice A Week...It Is To The Soul What The Water-Bath Is To The Body'


Love this sequin dress from JCrew.  It is slightly sheer on the side panels and very sexy. The sequins are a bit delicate so I have to be super careful each time I wear it, meaning it'll only worn about twice a year.  But, it makes the dress all the more special.  And as soon as I saw this long cardigan vest from All Saints, I knew the two were meant for each other (especially since the vest provides a bit of protection for the delicate sequins).

Do you ladies have any super delicates that you wear only a few times a year to preserve its life?















What I'm Wearing:
Dress: JCrew
            Orig. Price: $275.00
            Paid: $118.00
Vest/Cardigan:  All Saints
Shoes: Steve Madden
Rings: Made Her Think, Free People

    You look divine, love your dress to death. I love the bath tub shoot, very femme fatale - splendid idea. I too love sequins, very old hollywood glamour.

    This is a BEAUTIFUL dress.

    I wear Saris once in a while... I had one made specially when I went travelling and burned a hole through the blouse piece when ironing. :(


    As for sheerish dresses? well girl Ive got hips and they are not flattering for my body type! I wish i could wear one though!
