GREENER PASTURES
In my third and final post from my romp around rural Virginia, I'm rockin' out those green sequins on dark blue velvet from Motel that thrived during party season. The long sleeved version of this dress was everywhere on fashion-savvy social media and made an appearance in one of my favorite pleasure reads, Nylon Magazine. I have to say - I get it. I scored this off-the-shoulder version in a sale about a year ago and instantly fell in love. The soft velvet is super thick and cozy, hugs all of my bits perfectly, stays put while partying and never leaves me looking awkward with my dress sideways, sequins that rarely attach themselves to other stuff, and GOD - the color! Comfortable, practical(relatively of course), sexy, AND sequins equals a big win and a forever favorite on my score card. So... needless to say, I'm a fan.
The dress also got me hooked on the brand, Motel, for comfortable, trendy, everyday pieces. Check them out at motelrocks.com and get the long sleeve edition of the green sequin bodycon dress I'm wearing here, or another off-the-shoulder version in a similar style here. Both dresses come in two other colors and I'd be lying if I said the black long sleeve didn't tempt me daily ;)
In this post, I wanted a little grunge with my mermaid vibe. I paired the dress with thigh high stockings (which I absolutely insist are a must-have), an oversized grey sweater, and my favorite beat-to-hell patent docs. We found a rundown rural farmhouse coming to pieces on the edge of a field to complement, and I completely dig the results. Hope you enjoy the final piece of Outdoor Disco as much as I have, and thanks again to friend and photographer Michael Jamison for helping me out.
