Happy Wednesday everyone!! In celebration of the halfway day to Friyay I’m talking about my favorite things today: color & embroidery. What can I say? I’m a sucker for both! I have two embroidered dresses that I absolutely love and honestly resist the urge to purchase every single one I see. There’s just something about the overwhelming use of color (usually bright) in detailed patterns that just makes a piece stand out. You hardly need to accessorize these focal pieces because it would only take away from their beauty. I originally saw this dress online and couldnt wait to get to a store to try it on. Sure enough, it was just as perfect on as it was in the pictures. It was a great pick for Charleston Fashion Week and wore well all night! The fit is loose but not baggy and has just the right amount of swing! I paired it with a bright lip, neutral mini clutch and some funky heels to carry the playful vibe down but still keep it chic.

I was totally feeling the accessories dilemma here. I felt like it needed a little something, but nothing to distract from the detail on the front. The back of the dress is for the most part solid, so I designed a sleek gold collar tassel necklace with two long crystal beaded strands & matching tassels at the ends. It was the perfect fit! and the best part: the necklace is reversible. Just twist it around and voila! tassel party in the front.
