For our night out I chose my vintage bright red velvet pleated dress with matching skinny belt paired with monochrome accessories to let the dress take center stage.

Velvet nights
On Friday night I ventured into Manhattan with LK for drinks. When we reached 14th Street and the L was down, we didn't whine; instead we hiked from 8th to 1st Ave in our fancy dresses. As a teenager wandering aimlessly through the city streets was routine for us kids not old enough to drink and lacking the balls to try drugs. This particular night reminded me of that same exhilarated feeling of dolling up and wandering the streets with partner in crime at my side. We fawned over puppies out for their evening walks, lit up when we saw Christmas light displays, and chatted with other intrepid travelers deterred by the L making their way across the city.
For our night out I chose my vintage bright red velvet pleated dress with matching skinny belt paired with monochrome accessories to let the dress take center stage.

What a great dress - and I love it with the polka dot tights. And you gotta love a night of wandering the streets a bit...I've done more than my fair share.

I live for nights like that! You look lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely dress and I like the way you paired it with the leather jacket and boots, gives it an edgier vibe. Did you go skating? I own a pair of vintage skates but still have yet to use them.
ReplyDeleteYour vintage dress is the cutest thing ever! I'd love to have one just like that. The shape is perfect. I love the polka dotted tights you paired with it.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a gorgeous dress. And amazing jacket. Few things are more fun than rolling around Manhattan on foot.
ReplyDeleteuh. dream dress
ReplyDeleteNo skating yet unfortunately. I would be really careful with vintage skates. These were my moms from high school and they probably haven't been sharpened since the 80's and have zero ankle support. I figure skated for 15 years so any skates that aren't my "real" skates would be no fun.
ReplyDeleteI would wear this dress everyday now if I could. I left out the part in my post where I bought this in college when I was super broke and had no money for the week, and when it FINALLY came from the Etsy shop I was too in love with it to wear it out because everyone smoked and I didn't want it to get burned! So it hung on my wall for a year...sigh...
ReplyDeleteSO pretty. That dress is amazing, it fits you perfectly.
ReplyDeleteyou look soso cute. a fav! love the cute scarf and polka tightss!
