lbvd - little black velvet dress




I love everything about this little black velvet dress from Festivity... particularly the part where I got it for 20% off! It has the sweetest little shape with an open back and exposed zipper.  The only thing wrong with it? Not enough occasions to wear it. 

Playing with color is fun with a black dress, so I paired it with my favorite shade of lavender lace bra and green tights. A Chinese friend gave me the latter straight from her shop, deeming the hue "unacceptable" to Chinese girls. Fine by me! 

Wearing:
Velvet dress from Festivity in Virginia Highlands
Lavender lace bra from American Apparel 
Green tights from China
Golden snitch necklace, gift from my sister
Black bracelet from a friend's give-away pile.

The velvet looks so lovely - the colours help to bring out the best in it, I think. Super rad snitch necklace, too - my sister would love one of those.

About 6 years ago I was mad about wearing colourful tights I used to have them in lots of colours and You just remind me how great they can look! I think I'm going to start wearing them :)x

I'm very partial to all dresses with sleeves to begin with, but with that back? Perfect perfect perfect!

The velvet dress looks simple yet adorable; I just wish that there are many occasions so that I could wear it as often!
