Can you believe that there was a version of my favorite style of Miss Candyfloss dress in the “Viva Rita” collection that I didn’t buy?
Well, didn’t buy until now. I was browsing through dresses on their website one day, and it hit me that the Delsie-Lou dress has the perfect color palette in shades of red, orange, and purple to transition from summer to autumn. And since it’s sleeveless, it also offers the perfect opportunity to wear it with lots of different cardigans and jackets. Well, once it cools off. Until then, it’s the perfect dress to wear during warm early fall days.
I accessorized with a boater hat and black lace gloves, an Erstwilder brooch that looks like it’s part of the dress, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, plus my newest RockLove Jewelry necklace in the shape of a Klingon bat’leth:
Isn’t this the most gorgeous floral?!?
I’m loving this bold look!
The fabric of the dress is really smooth and comfortable, and like all of the dresses I have in this style, it has a long row of buttons, which makes it perfect for wearing with exposed shorts underneath, which I might do next summer!
It also has a lovely full, swingy skirt:
I’m glad I took a second look at this dress!
