Glamorous Dipped Dress c/o MeeMee * / H&M Knotted Belt / Angie Gooderham Bangle / ASOS Leather Bangle / Rick Owens Wedges / Balenciaga City
I’m finding myself really drawn towards simpler shapes at the moment. I’m not sure if it’s because the weather is finally warming up & it’s nice to just be able to throw a simple dress on or if it’s more of a reflection on where I am at the moment. I seem to be cutting a lot of the unnecessary fuss out of my life, and maybe my clothing choices are subconsciously echoing this?
This Glamorous dress from MeeMee is a perfect example of this, a simple shift dress, but the dipped hem gives it just enough detail to keep it interesting. Here I’ve worn it belted with this super old H&M belt that I recently re-discovered & now can’t stop wearing, but I’m looking forward to wearing it even more simply when it gets really warm (fingers crossed!) – on its own, loose & unbelted with just a pair of flat sandals.
I’m sure you must be sick of these Rick Owens wedges by now too, I think I’ve worn them for the past 4 posts? But the fact is, now my toes aren’t getting frostbite from wearing them, they are my comfiest shoes & it’s getting all too easy to just throw them on. I actually can’t think of another pair that have been a better investment than these, they have been worth every single penny. I really should get around to getting another pair soon…

Laura says
believe it or not but that belt tied like that gives that plain black dress a lovely edgy twist. I actually makes the outfit.

No way could I tire of seeing those Rick wedges.
Every time I think I might miss wearing “more” (for me, it was a bunch of studded bracelets, a bit of punkish embellishments)…well, I don’t. Cutting out the unnecessary has been liberating, and yes, that includes clothing choices – especially that.
You are stunning. Nothing more is needed in this outfit. :)
FAIIINT says
Aw, thankyou! :)
I agree, I’ve been feeling like that with jewellery for a long time. I used to wear heaps & now I find myself thinking that even a single pendant is too much! I’m aiming to make a lot more pieces this Summer & especially simple pieces in nice fabrics, as they always seem to be so hard to find in stores!
Melissa Araujo says
love the simplicity of this but how the belt is done is an accent to the outfit. Also how cool you went to the vogue event and got to hear guest speakers. I wish.

FAIIINT says
Thanks Melissa! The belt is actually made this way, there’s a little stud under the knotted part (which is stitched so it’s permanent) that goes through the holes in the other side. Real leather & from H&M of all places too!
Heather says
Great outfit – love it :)

I’m the same, there’s something appealing about an unfussy silhouette. I LOVE this dress on you, and that tied belt at the waist gives it a little something extra. Gorgeous girl!x

I feel the same way about my Rick Owens boots – I wear them so incessantly and have no regretted buying them once!
I really like the knotted belt too. It’s amazing how those little flourishes can make all the difference in an outfit.
FAIIINT says
They seemed like such a massive splurge at the time, I remember my friends saying ‘They were how much?!’ & giving me this disapproving look (hah!) but now I only wish I’d brought them sooner!
I agree, I can’t believe this belt had been sitting unworn for so long, I forgot how much I loved it.
Designer Binary says
No way could I ever tire of the shoes, also loving the way you wear this belt, looks great!
miranda says
I always dig how you tie your belt!!!

Jantine says
How could we ever get tired of those lovely wedges? They’re gorgeous! :) Love the dress too, makes a great outfit!
Josie says
Those shoes DO look like they’re comfy, the leather looks so soft! When I sort of spring cleaned my life I found that I started dressing simpler too, I think the two must be linked! xxx
FAIIINT says
They are the softest & look better & better the more I wear them! :) I’m glad it’s not just me, I was starting to think it was just a ‘getting old’ thing! Hah!
Aleksandra says
You look Amazing !
LOVE the belt :)
Steph says
i love that belt! and simpler proportions are harder to style i think, simplicity often requires more thought than one expects.. or at least that’s that i think! definitely not sick of these wedges steph, i often get that way with my shoe obsessions too :)
NotJustAPrettyDress says
Steph, you look beautiful! I’m often partial to clean shapes and silhouettes and I’s a big fad of belts as they really add a special (styling) touch to any outfits. Caterina
