Old Velvet

This dress is entering its seventh season of wear. I couldn’t have spent more than $25 on it, but I always feel fancy when rediscover it each fall and drape myself in velvet(een) once more.


Dress, New York & Company (shortened). Blouse, Maeve (consignment). Boots, Soffit (consignment). Sunglasses, Target. Earrings, World Market. Jacket, Dex (swap). Bag, Imoshion.

Velvet is different from velveteen? I thought it was just a shortened name.

Velvet is stiffer and more luxurious. Velveteen has stretch. I'm sure google explains it better, but those are the key characteristics I think of in each fabric.
