Better Than Black

In looking for inspiration for evening and dressy attire with a focus other than black, I came across this gorgeous velvet dress. From Rick Owens, it was shown on the runway with boots or styled with heels here, making it very appealing for its versatility to go from day to night. I’d also wear it layered over black slim cropped pants with flat mules. Surprisingly, a number of colors complement the dusty raisin hue, but I love it with a vibrant shade of sunflower yellow satin in my favorite evening bag of the season, The Ascot.  Swoon. A rose gold metallic leather flat adds another textural dimension and is simply beautiful (with jeans too!). An unexpected, modern, onyx orb earring finishes off a spectacular outfit in my book.
