Crushing Out on My Newest Dress by Karina Dresses: The Gala
I really enjoy putting together my favorite things and having it turn out to be a great outfit. Today's outfit is a result of some wardrobe play for me. Emerald is having its day in the sun, and I can't help but become even more drawn to it, after all it is the color of Spring! And what's more spring right now than the trending (but never out of fashion) "color" combo of Black and White? Or animal prints? Or polka dots? So while it looks like I'm acting like a fashion victim wearing all the latest trends together, the result is a classic (if not a bit quirky) blossoming of chic. In fact I feel the silhouette looks a bit turn of the last century, what, with a dash of panache from a bowler hat and librarian oxford heels and all.And my most recent crush? BUTTERFLIES! I had started a budding collection of butterfly broaches some time ago- but when I stumbled onto a stash of them for sale at my local Goodwill, I went butterfly crazy. These two little vintage broaches have been pinned on me for about 4 days now. What better way to wait for spring than to be sprung?
As editor (and subscriber) to the Karina Dresses monthly newsletter, I know that March's Dress O' The Month is...the Gala! So I used that knowledge as an excuse to order my second Gala dress, this one in one of my favorite animal prints: Cheetah. So it's my second Gala and SIXTH dress with a sweetheart neckline- and let me just say, it will NOT be my last. I've only recently discovered how flattering a sweetheart neckline can be. I love the way it sets off my, uh, collarbones! If you want to stay in the loop to what's awesome and new for the Karina Nation, be sure to sign up for next month's newsletter.
