For Saturday night of WorldCon (the party night) I donned my newest purchase, a silver sparkle dress from Relic Vintage on Haight St. (I'm in
good company with the silver sparkles as it turns out.) I purchased this cocktail gown specifically for WorldCon in San Antonio, when my
green and black one's zipper broke and I realized I'd worn
the marigold three years running.
It's paired with a little red and black dotted hair bob from Ross,
silver octopus necklace gift from a reader, silver bow earrings, long red vintage
opera gloves from my grandmother, a vintage red crinoline,
red bag, and Via Spiga sandals.

The red insert across the Rack is actually a pinned silk handkerchief. Sophronia would be proud. I had intended to pin a flower over the excessive cleavage but it wasn't sufficient. Since it's you, my dear fashionable reader, I'll demonstrate what I mean.
Do you see how vital the handkerchief? I'm going to have to find a substitute for when I don't want to wear this dress with the red accessories. But I was pretty darn pleased to have this work on the fly for this one evening.

I had a lot of fun in this dress. Went to Drinks with Authors, various parties, and then ended up at the bar. As you do.

Something from the archives that is similar, if not exactly the same.

Retro Rack is also on
facebook where I post additional images and fashion thoughts.
I like the red handkerchief, it looks like it was always part of the ensemble. So you'll just have to start collecting scarves and handkerchiefs for each color you combine with the silver sparkle dress - which looks lovely on you, by the way.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's scarf held up through the night. Good job! :)
