Like Wolves In Winter

I felt very bourgeois in this outfit which means I felt ostentatious, but conceptually I really wanted to do a simple black and white look. It came out nicely, even if I am overdressed for my lifestyle. This white dress is my favorite item lately and ideally I will have a million white dresses to wear this spring. Wouldn't it be perfect to wake up every day to a new airy, alabaster dress? For now, I only have this one and I'm going to ruin it if I continue wearing it in rain-soaked woods, but one can't allow a small thing like location limit them...
The necklace I'm wearing is a gift from the designer behind Dame. It's actually another headpiece to add to my slowly building collection. Like many chain hair accessories it can be worn a variety of ways, such as like a necklace (as you see below). I'm quite excited to don it Cleopatra-style in the near future.

You look so lovely! I love the contrast. There is no such thing as being overdressed, you never know what you'll be doing or who you'll meet.

Cristina said...

love the whole outfit, and how it all looks with the coulours of the forest

bestie said...

I cant get enough of white dresses! It annoys my boyfriend a little; he says it reminds him of our gala uniform in grade school which the girls used for "religious events", so to speak. Haha. But I don't care, there is something magical about a white dress I think! And yours is so lovely paired with fur. (:

too pretty for words x

tess said...

I love your shoes!

Sara Lynn said...

you look great!! I love white dresses too, but the tom-boy in me does not. I always get something on them.

I really love the shoes, I have been very iffy on those kind, but they look great with your outfit.

:)

LML said...

such a luxe look!

Chelsea said...

Yes yes yes! I do dream of a closet full of white dresses! If I could just find one perfect one, though, that would be enough for me.

Nadine said...

I love your shoes :).

DearBeatrice said...

This is a very sweet look. I love all the different details of this outfit, like the tights, shoes and the necklace. They're so different from each other but work beautifully together!

InFocus said...

Gorgeous. I love cream or white dresses with dark tights - and these delicate vintage ones are especially beautiful and feminine.

Ollie Otson said...

I always scroll really slowly through your pictures to see the gif/moving image. I love them when you do them.

Chocolate and Cognac said...

White dresses are the best! It really would be paradise to wake up to a new one every day. Plus it's so nice to finally see blooming flowers.. and that kind of matches your necklace :)

TracyAnn said...

This is so pretty and classy! and I love those shoes!
Looking at your pictures really makes me want to go out and take some pics myself :) They're always so lovely.

Celine said...

Those tights are to die for. I want them.

You look wondrously glamourous, ready for the red carpet, or whatever.

The faux fur definitely heightens the glamour, but the sweet dress underneath is no less amazing.

Thanks for your kind comments on my latest article. It meant a lot.

I agree, I think everyone is going through some sort of internal struggle that causes angst, but we never know the depth of it, because our walls and facades are so effective. But like you said, faking it works.

Behaviour conditions attitude, which in turn, conditions behaviour and so on and so forth. If I fake confidence, eventually a measure of it will become reality.

But I have to believe in my own act before it can become real.

Much love,
Mae, thereafterish.

I always say that being overdressed is better than being underdressed! You look so fab, like a touch of old Hollywood, and the white dress really suits you well. :) Thank God you're not as clumsy as me and haven't soiled it yet.

Nice shoes! And don't worry about being overdressed, because what's the point of having nice clothes and not wearing them?

I just love the picture of the shoes! I too adore white dresses -- and I also always ruin them. They are magnets for grossness. :) You look positively lovely in this one though, rain-soaked or not. This must be one of my favorite outfits of yours.

Can you do any wrong? No I don't think so. I think that dress walked straight out of a black and white movie.

denise, the prime magpie said...

Black shoes/tights and a white dress is a great combination. I like how the dark colors really ground something light and airy. I don't have a pink chiffon dress, but if I did, I'd probably try to wear it with something like dark blue tights, just to see if it worked, even at the risk of being cast out as a Barbie Girl reject.

indiebella said...

wow, i love everything about this outfit. Especially the necklace, that's just lovely :)

Trishna said...

I don't know what is it about you in these photos but they are simply breathtaking.

Kate said...

White dresses with black tights is one of my very favorite combinations! You look lovely!
