//// Wardrobe confessions
Posted on | February 11, 2010 | 9 Comments
The weird thing of my wardrobe is that I have outrageous amount of dressy dresses — athough I never go out 
. I guess that I’ve always had soft spot for them… …but then I had a longish period in my life with very, very pared down clothing and when ‘healing’ from that I had a bit deranged understanding of my wardrobe needs.
Anyway, I experimented with the leggings also combining them to dressier outfits. This Rodebjer silk number is probably one of my favorites — although the cut of the body is not best for my build (it’s open to the navel). I have figured out different solutions for that, one of them being this old Zara feather cape worn over it — I purchased that for a theme party several years ago.
I feel like an ice skater… The leggings are from Black Milk, shoes those Rützous and the silk organza jacket I’m adding is from H&M.

i can totally relate. i could actually claim i collect vintage dresses although lately my collection has been resting and my other collection of dresses, new ones, has been expanding steadily. i do go out, but for being a very casual dresser even on my nights out, my dresses make very little sense.
i still adore every single one.

True… …I also tend to go for casual when going out. Does certainly not make sense.
Maybe we should start overdressing to casual events!

I have the same problem: I buy a lot of dressy dresses, and have no where to wear them. But recently I’ve just started wearing some of them for normal everyday things, because I can.

So beautiful! The feather shawl is amazing!

Steff, that’s probably exactly the way to solve this. I do it too seldom, mainly in summertime. But light dresses like this would look awesome with chunky knits…
Thanks for the nice words

i actually mostly wear dresses to work. it is so easy. i am a mum of a small girl and i have sometimes time problem matching top to bottom. dress you just pull on.
this outfit is so lovely, this powder pink darker shade is so feminine and cozy. very inspiring, thanks!

I think the color of the dress is amazing. Also like how you pulled it all together to dress-down the dress. I have a pair for leggings from Black Milk and always get complimented. I think you should check out http://shoplarousse.com/. For Fall 09, they will be carrying Rodebjer and Neurotica from the UK. If you enter FASHION15 at check out you can save an additional 15% too.
