I wore this to the opening of a solo show by one of my lecturers. He is pretty freakin' awesome and the show was beautiful.
I liked this photograph best:
But this one shows a little detail in the black (even if I do look mighty serious):
Wearing:
• 80s Lillie Rubin black and metallic lace dress, eBay.
• Black cheapie cardigan, cinched in with a 'Cue' black patent belt.
• Lilac stockings, over old ballet stockings. welovecolors.com
• Black 1970's buckle boots, which fit me perfectly with two pairs of stockings and a pair of bedsocks on. I love these boots to death.
Also, say hello to my new 1980's Ray-ban wayfarers. They are a piece of saucy awesome.
I need to tighten the arms, though. They fall off a bit. Also, they came in their original packaging and EVERYTHING. Which is intimidating - I almost don't want to wear them in case I scratch them or something!

That was the opening at my work! I should have said hello, but I was running around stressing out, as usual. Maybe next time!
It was a beautiful dress.
