Today's outfit was all about the details. I bought this dress a year or so ago from a US seller on Ebay and rarely wear it as it is difficult to find the right occasion. Ultra-feminine, I decided to toughen it up with a black & gold rope belt, black opaque tights and my ever faithful Ferragamo bow pumps that also provide a hint of gold. Perhaps not exactly a work outfit but I like the black and cream combination - and since when I have ever dressed in appropriate office attire, I think my work colleagues are used to me by now!

:o what a gorgous delicate dress! Like the fact you 'toughened' it up.lol I have a few vintage dresses but also barely wear them because its so hard to find the right occasion.
That's a beautiful looking dress - what era is it from, do you know? I has Edwardian hints to it. I'm very much loving the Edwardian look myself and bought a vintage dress (from the 70s) that looks very period and will post pictures up soon. Good for you to wear what you like to work - I admire your style so much.
Thank you again for the award tag - I'm thrilled! I put up a post today about it (finally - sorry!) and tagged my bloggers.
Hope you're having a good week

Amazing!!!! I love the collar and cuffs!!!
Gorgeous dress... I love the detailing! And what a great move pairing that with the belt. I think these days (unless you're working in a bank or law firm) dress codes are lenient anyway... I prefer people to dress what they feel like, rather than wear the same trouser suit to work.
it has such beautiful details and the belt it's awesome
The dress looks beautiful, I definitely love the details!
I love it, so soft and edgy at the same time!
