outfit post: Darker than Black

   
  And I, infinitesimal being,
  drunk with the great starry void,
  likeness, image of mystery,
  felt myself a pure part of the abyss,
  I wheeled with the stars,
  my heart broke loose on the wind.
                                                     -Pablo Neruda 





Now Wearing:
  • Bespoked knit cloche- Etsy
  • Merona cotton dress- Target
  • Vintage skinny leather belt
  • Mexican Mary cuff
    (hecho en Mexico)
  • Flaming Hag Folkwear Cuff, Crimson & Clover
  • Vintage hand-made  Moroccan leather slippers

What a great dress, Bella!! I have got to go by Target more often...but my favorite here is the cuff...I love cuffs and hope they stay in style a long time!!

Vix said...

Black looks so gorgeous on you, that dress fits you like a dream and the hat only emphasises your beauty. The jewels make me go weak at the knees. xxx

Delish bracelets, and what a cute dress, darkest black yet springtime fresh. I like how it displays and accentuates your tattoos.

This look has a bit of the joyfulness of a flapper girl mix with the deep thoughtfulness of a Pablo Nedura poem!
If you like Pablo Neruda you may also like to read Ruben Dario.

Are you sure that dress wasn't custom made for you? It fits like a dream and I love the lace peeking out:)). OK those cuffs are going to haunt me tonight - I swear they are so beautiful!! xoxoxoxoxox

You are like a 1920's hottie updated for today, which I love. The cuff is killing me, it is so beautiful and I like the slimmest of red belts around that dress. Girly with edge, love, love!

Unknown said...

What a cute dress love the hat!

Unknown said...

Ooh, what a fantastic cuff. I also love the red belt with the all black. I adore red accessories with black or black and white polka dots. The belt also creates a lovely feminine silhouette.

Rebecca said...

You did a great job of making the black dress stand out with accessories. I like the hat.

I love Pablo Neruda´s poem, your black dress and hat touch by the red belt, and adore the bracelet with "La virgen de Guadalupe", ahhhhhhhhhhhh I have goose pimples now.

You have so many varied "looks", and they all work. Love that dress. Three cheers for a place you can purchase toilet paper and cute dresses!

Love the way you've worn that hat with the dress dear! And that bracelet is just wow! :)

to be honest,I prefer you in color! I feel like all the black doesn't match your sweet personality.

Nonetheless, you look great Bella.
