Summer Look: Tory Burch dress and shoes | earrings and bracelet (gifts from a friend) | Michael Kors watch | Ipa-Nima handbag (purchased on a work trip to Vietnam)
Fall Look: Tory Burch dress | Banana Republic trench coat | Ann Taylor sunglasses | Silver Cocoon earrings | Tory Burch handbag | kate spade new york shoes (pump version here)
I love how the laser cut acrylic earrings mirror the crochet of the dress and lighten up the look given the other black accessories. Tia Keobounpheng is a local Minneapolis artist behind Silver Cocoon, which has recently been named as a Martha Stewart American Made Finalist – vote here!
Reality Check. When I ordered this dress, I absolutely did not think I would get a lot of wear out of it. I thought it would be a fairly frivolous purchase that I may regret, but I really loved the bright grass green color and the crochet detail. When a stranger commented on the dress the first time I wore it (to a friend’s wedding this summer) I said “well, you can have it tomorrow, because I don’t see myself wearing it again.” I was happy to prove myself wrong.
