Last night my mom came home with a bag, handed it to me, and told me someone from her work gave me a present. I opened the bag up, and saw mounds of black velvet. After pulling it out, I discovered it was the most amazing vintage black velvet dress ever. It's strapless, with a sweetheart neckline, and it stops about 4 inches above my ankles. It's utterly gorgeous. After my terrible mood yesterday, it perked me right up. I'm not going to post a picture yet because I still haven't decided where I'm going to wear it, or what I'll even do with it. I'm thinking that I might have a photoshoot while wearing it, but I need to find a very beautiful place to take the pictures. Anyways, seeing the dress made me think of Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany's. I ended looking up some other velvet dress, and I have to say that they're really growing on me. What do you all think of them? Would you wear a velvet dress or no? Feelings, thoughts, I would love to hear them. :)
Even though these Audrey Hepburn pictures don't reveal her wearing a velvet dress, my own dress reminded me of the movie.
Pictures are from: Badgley Mischka dress/splendicity.com. Ralph Lauren/milady.cz. Chloe dress/stylehive.com. bridalwave.tv. Sorry I don't know where the BatT pictures are from. I saved them a long time ago.
These dresses are so lovely, and the Audrey Hepburn pictures make me want to go dress up and stand outside a Tiffany's store window eating croissants and drinking coffee...maybe I will one day. ;)
Quote of the day:
"Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future."
-Audrey Hepburn
