I got this dress (shop similar here and here) my sophomore year of high-school, I wish I could say that was a really long time ago but it wasn't, it was 2013. The whole 90s obsession hadn't begun at this point, but as the trend-spotter I am, sixteen year old me knew that this dress had major potential. The other day I was rummaging through my closet and I was so excited to find this dress, it is seriously on trend right now. Previously, I had worn this dress on its own or with a sweater over it as that was quite hot in 2014 (see the post if you dare, but please don't laugh). This time around I gave it a 2016 update, by layering it over a simple Madewell long sleeve tee (shop here) and a pair of over the knee boots (shop similar for only $60). OTK boots and a slip dress is a killer combination I didn't see coming, this slit is so extra, the OTK boot tones down the leg exposure while still showing off a little thigh. I love throwing in a piece that is a little unexpected, so I grabbed this Clare V. clutch (shop here), the light leather draws major contrast to the navy dress. I doubled up on delicate chokers wearing a velvet (shop here) and a rhinestoned (shop here) one, of course no look is complete without oversized hoops (shop here).
I decided to change up my beauty look a bit, I traded my go-to wings for some falsies by Kiss (shop here). I love the extra pop that false lashes give! Even though I have massive lashes theres nothing like a pair of falsies. For my lips I am loving this matte lipstick by Ulta (shop here), it is super hydrating and had tons of pigment, I am wearing Mulberry. For my hair, I decided the embrace the third day grease and added Triple Sec by Dry Bar (shop here) and a little styling gel. This gave me a hint of the "wet hair" look without going overboard.
