Metal Dressing

by Cortnie Elizabeth on July 26, 2012

I love Forever 21 for its ability to provide fashionable pieces at low costs. Usually cheap prices go hand-in-hand with things that aren’t exactly well-made. That’s not the case for this dress. I’ve had it for years. A silk and linen blend with a bit of a silver metallic touch to it. The deep v-neck is sexy and the fact that it has pockets is a plus. I decided to pair it with other metallic pieces like my Michael Kors heels and switched it up a bit with gold accessories. And how do you like my ‘Doodle’ clutch? It’s one of the more recent bags to hit my Etsy shop.

I still shop at Forever 21 from time to time. I love finding pieces that I can style year after year for almost nothing.

What I Wore:
Forever 21 dress, KORS Michael Kors heels (on sale everywhere if you can find them!), vintage necklace from Atlantis Dry Goods, J.Crew bracelet and ring, Love,Cortnie ‘Doodle’ clutch (HERE), Super sunglasses (similar HERE)
