The Tassie-Aurea from Miss Candyfloss was originally introduced as an autumn dress, but I have restyled it for the warmer months!
I accessorized with a summer hat from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, a true vintage brooch from our local antique store, and a pair of gloves:
I love the trailing scarves no matter the season!
The fact that the dress is sleeveless is key to making this look work for summer even thought the colors are a bit more autumnal.
I feel like I should be going to a garden party in this outfit!
I love finding new ways to style my favorite pieces!
Here’s a look back at my “Festive Fashions” this Christmas…I got really lucky this year, because Christmas Eve and Advent IV fell on the same date, so I got to wear two different outfits to two different church services. For the morning service, I wore my Tassie-Aurea dress from Miss Candyfloss. I accessorized with a sparkly hair comb from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, my most sparkly Christmas brooch, and a pair of Splendette Duchess bangles. I wanted to wear my cape with this dress, but it was just too warm!
For the evening service, I wore a very old dress from Igigi that used to be my every-Christmas-Eve look. I haven’t worn it since before the pandemic, but I decided that since I got to go retro in the morning, evening was a good time to just go glam. I accessorized with the same brooch and hair comb, and switched out my Splendette stack.
After we got home, I changed into my dark green Miss Candyfloss Chantilly-Pine dressing gown, as is my Christmas Eve custom. I kept the brooch and hair comb, and switched out my Splendette stack again, and added my newest Splendette beads.
This morning, I wore my red Everyday Dirndl from Rare Dirndl with my new Christmas apron. I mixed up the accessories, wearing an Edelweiss wrap bracelet-as-choker, and a Splendette stack and earrings, plus a wintry floral crown:
I really love coming up with festive looks, and this year was especially fun!
Today I’m taking a look at a very glamorous Christmas dress, the amazing Tassie-Aurea dress from Miss Candyfloss!
I have wanted a dress in this style, which has lovely scarves that trail from the shoulders, for quite a while, but I hadn’t found quite the right color or length (Miss Candyfloss has made dresses like this in a floor length in the past). When I saw this dress in ivory, with a lovely rust-colored flower print, I knew that it was perfect, because while it’s a Christmas dress, the color palette can work in pretty much any season!
I kept my accessories fairly simple since the dress is so gorgeous on its own, so I added a simple, subtle stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles and my standard necklace with matching earrings and called it a day.
I feel like I’ve stepped right out of White Christmas, which is just about the highest praise I could give any dress!
The scarves are my favorite feature of the dress…they add such an elegance and wonderful sense of movement!
You can even wear them different ways!
Even glamorous dresses can have pockets!
Now that I’ve tried this style of dress, I’d love to add it to my wardrobe in more colors and patterns!
