DARK PETAL

I have a confession to make - this is actually a kimono! But I was so in love with it I wore it as a dress. Be warned though, if theres a breeze you will catch it and be aware that your undies may flash some unsuspecting guests. This beautiful was a piece I picked up from Zara and I was so drawn to the colours as its perfect for my fall/winter wardrobe.

I've paired it here with a very simple gold choker so the focus is on the dress and its beautiful print. When you wear something that has a busy print - don't over accessorise. This one is from Brandy Melville.

I kept my make up rather smokey and romantic.

Playing around with pinks, taupes and purples. Creating a smokey eye with a lighter romantic palette is a great way to make the look more wearable for someone like me who is scared of darker colours. I think it compliments this outfit so well too and the hair.
