Just Add Lipstick
When I tried this BCBG Outlet Score of a dress on post-purchase, I felt like it was missing something. Yet nothing I paired with it - knee-high boots, thick belts or colorful camis - really worked. It just crapped it up.
The ah ha! moment occurred with an application of red lipstick.
Simplicity - that’s what was missing!
This beauteous thang is so Old Hollywood that dressing it down doesn’t make it understated; it makes it ridiculous.
Gold stiletto-sandals, red lips and a faux Van Cleef and Arpels chain (courtesy of Canal Street) keep the dress the star of the show.
WARNING: Dress has been known to result in wearer’s thinking she is a star and can subsequently do star-like things like blow kisses to an imaginary paparazzi.
I couldn’t help it. The dress made me do it. 
Kvelling and Kvetching
