If the fact this dress was velvet and came in bright emerald wasn't enough to convince me to buy it, this descriptor on Family's Affairs site would have done the trick, "Bonnie and Clyde having caviar and vodka on the Transibirian Express to Budapest." It conjures up a beautiful image of inspiration and fantasy. Bonnie and Clyde also happens to be one of my favorite films for style inspiration and Budapest is one of the most gorgeous cities I've ever had the privilege of visiting. All this clearly makes the dress fated for me. It is cut really low on the sides, which is a cool detail, but a bit scandalous for me, so I'm wearing a slip. If you haven't been able to notice by all the Family Affairs pieces I've been adding to my wardrobe, I'm a bit obsessed with them. Everything they design I want to wear. End of story.

This has to be the most "At one with nature" photo I have seen of you. You look like a woodland creature, a nymph or fairy of sorts. :)
that dress is beautiful on you, and you accessorized it perfectly!

I love the accessories you paired with the dress. They all fit together seamlessly. I also know what you mean about descriptions selling you on the dress almost as much as what the dress actually looks like.
cuteee! It's like the Peter pan's fairy :)
An adorable dress
Oh & I am hosting my first giveaway! Some amazing headpieces!

GORGEOUS!
Thank you so much!
I just discovered your blog, and as another girl in WA state, I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am to find someone else around here that loves clothes, too!
I don't live in Seattle, so most of the people I know would be more comfortable in birkenstocks and yoga pants than a cute dress and flats.
Thank you for that.
so pretty! i love the gorgeous green color :)

Love this green ! i have a theme party and we all have to wear green... this gives me ideas !
A green velvet dress instantly brings to my mind the one Scarlett O'Hara made from her curtains. My favourite film scene EVER if you ask me, it's pure "everything will be better if I can just have a new fabulous dress" fantasy.
You look beautiful.
Wow, that dress was made for you! The color and detailing are just gorgeous.
That description perfectly fits the dress. I want to take a train to Budapest! But a plane to Washington would also be pretty cool, if I could see such beautiful forests as those. And of course you! You look stunning.
Lovely dress and amazing pictures!
i die. this is amazing.
I love the colour of the dress, it is so bright and vibrant. Gorgeous.

well I guess I'd wore a slip underneath too, too much to show.
that third picture of you is my favorite! you look like you're about to kick off your shoes and start dancin!
Fantastic dress, it is very beautiful. However, I think the facsinator gives your whole look a real ethereal edge
Beautiful dress ,I like your style!

The green is so vibrant and alive. It's great
Dress Rehearsal
that color! Fabulous.
This dress is such a pretty style, even though I don't like velvet! It looks so pretty but I have a weird texture aversion to it. The green looks fantastic against the lush greenery of wet and rainy Washington... The color is these photos is just dessert to my eyes! And the color of your nail polish is quite like the trees! I also really like your hairpiece.
Green is my favorite color on you, the dress is beautiful! I love the head piece too. :)

omg!!! the color of that dress is s rich and lush!!!! :D
The shoes and headpiece make it divine!
Oh my gosh, it's called the Tea for Tillerman dress?? Cat Stevens reference for the win! How awesome. I highly approve.
The dress looks insanely perfect in the woods!
This is one of those dresses that not many people could pull off, but you do. I really love your green ring and the headpiece, lovely.
Oh you look like a little fawn or forrest nymph. Cute!
That is such a beautiful dress, I just love the sleeves and the color. I really like your fascinator as well!
That drsss looks amazing on you! Everything about it is perfect for tCH. The color pops, the butterfly wings rock, and the fit is astute. Aside from the scandalous side, it's such a perfect match for you.
You look so gorgeous in earthy tones! You instantly made me think of a forest princess. LOVE it!
oh my goodness, the color looks gorgeous on you! very faerie-like with that fascinator too
Oh My that dress is absolutely gorgeous! THe colour fits you perfectly and the surrounding just bring out the best of that dress. Also loving the accessories, you always know what to put together to bring the best out of each outfit!

pretty girl and green clothes ;)
Emerald green is one of my favorite colors. Of course, it's also a complimentary color to your hair, so you couldn't go wrong. The hairpiece is quite to die for as well.
P.S.-- Bonnie and Clyde are quite an inspiration for me too. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway had the chemistry.

I adore this skirt length on you! Sometimes I wish that style bloggers would try to not wear so many short skirts, and try styling some longer hemlines. Sometimes I feel like the short skirts are cop-outs and that girls feel like the don't have to style them because their legs are their accessories.
Green is my favorite color. You did such a great job of pairing the different shades in this outfit. I guess nyc has terrible vintage shopping because I have never seen a fascinator except in the blog world.
Where'd you get your slip? I'm looking for a nude colored one and haven't owned a slip since Elementary school! ha

This dress is SO gorgeous. You look incredible!
fantastic setting- it lends to the 'midsummer night's dream' quality of the velvet dress and fascinator. you look lovely!
I become more and more convinced each day that you are actually a fairy from A Midsummer's Night Dream.
-indigo
ohh what a pretty, pretty dress! You look like a wood sprite, or a dryad..or something lovely and whimsical like that ;) Love it!
Goodness! I've gone giddy gazing at all the gorgeous green. ^.^ And couldn't resist a bit of consonance.
