Base Layer

Sweater, City Fur Co (vintage). Top, Moda International. Strapless dress, Newport News. Boots, Nine West. Necklace, thrifted. Clutch (pictured below), thrifted. Feathered headband, Forever 21.

This simple, strapless sheath from Newport News has been worn a lot, but I’ve never taken a picture of it alone until today. It’s a bit formfitting to wear on its own, but it makes a perfect base for subsequent layers. It’s a neutral color, doesn’t contribute much bulk, and provides a nice, slim silhouette for my bottom half.










Um…yeah, those are my bra straps in the first photo. Sorry. And you can check out the back of the black top here.

All the ways I’ve worn this dress…

(And it only cost $15!)

  1. To say you've gotten your money's worth out of this dress would be quite the understatement - and it looks great in all its different forms too; I really like today's.

  6. I COVET that vintage fur sweater. It screams bombshell. That dress is incredibly useful. Did you originally buy it as a layering piece, or did you intend to wear it alone?

  7. Cat - I bought the dress with the intention of wearing shirts UNDERNEATH of it. But that look was too body conscious for me.
