Playing Dress Up

Every woman needs a little black dress in her closet, it's essential! The one I'm wearing is form fitting with a low cut back. The dress itself is so simplistic I really like to dress it up with jewelry.

The jewelry really steals the show with this outfit. The necklace, courtesy of Ferro Jewelers, located on 91S Main Street in Stowe, VT, is a one of a kind piece of jewelry. An up close look at the necklace you will see a gold lariat chain with two lion heads set with sapphires, rubies, and diamonds. It's not just a statement piece, but a work of art on its own. Ferro Jewelers specializes in custom and estate jewelry, so the pieces you find there are so unique and unlike anything else in the current market.

Now here is my #OOTD! With the brands and links of where to find the same look.

The dress I'm wearing is from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's clothing line, The Row. I bought my dress a few seasons ago, so this dress is no longer available.

​A similar choice would be the Lulus Exclusive Bateau-n Rouge Black Backless Dress, for only $41.

My shoes are a simple black pump from Dior. The Stuart Weitzman Legendhalo Black Patent Leather High Heel is essentially the same style.

A more affordable option is the Massimo Matteo Pointy Toe Pump, currently being sold for $105 on Zappos. On a real note a black pump is a black pump. You don't have to be wearing a designer shoe to get the same look.

Last, but not least, my earrings are Paul Morelli, which I'm seen wearing in my last post. The yellow gemstones match the necklace, and pulls the whole outfit together. 

These Kate Spade, Save the Date Graduated Ear Pins for $58, are a similar style with the earring cascading up the ear lobe.
