Cloe-Minty

You’ve seen both the Cloe-Minty dress and the Terentia-Paz vest from Miss Candyfloss individually…now it’s time to take a look at how they go together!

If I hadn’t ordered these two pieces together, I’m not sure it would have occurred to me to pair them…I don’t think I’ve ever worn a vest over a dress before. But seeing them side-by-side right out of the package made me notice how well they looked together!

I accessorized with my original hat, gloves, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, and a vintage brooch from the antique store:

Here’s a closer look at the brooch…it’s absolutely splendid!

I love the pop of color the vest brings to the dress, and also that it brings out the subtle mint green stripe that can be overlooked if you’re not paying attention!

Any excuse to add a Miss Candyfloss peplum to an outfit!

This was a really fun way to play around with pieces in my wardrobe!

Let me be real for a moment. This is a total first world problem, and I know it, but the tariff situation with the US has significantly impacted my ability to order clothes from Miss Candyfloss, my very favorite clothing company. I was able to place an order before the increases took effect, but because the items from the new collection, Solivère, were only just beginning to be released, I didn’t have a whole lot of options to choose from, including my most-wished for item from the lookbook, a beautiful purple dress. The Cloe-Minty caught my eye, though…it’s my favorite style of dress in a lovely soft grey color with pretty mint stripes in the plaid. While it might not have been my first choice, it is a beautiful dress, and if I can find anything to be happy about, it’s that I ordered a piece that I otherwise might have overlooked.

I decided to really run with the subtle mint in the dress, and added a fascinator, Splendette Duchess Bangles, and beads in that color. I also added grey gloves, and a sliver brooch I’ve had so long, I no longer remember where it’s from!
