I like vintage looks. I have a tacky gene that loves to mix prints. I have fun trying new things with my hair. I'm a bargain hunter and hardly ever buy an item full price. I love to sew, and feel pleased as punch when I wear something of my own design.

I have wanted a snake print dress ever since I saw Salma Hayek wearing that Alexander McQueen dress on the cover of Lucky magazine June 2010. Although, I did think McQueen's version had a questionable placement of print right over her lower midsection. Ahem. Happily my dress is quite flattering. See, good things do come to those who wait. :o)
I have had the snake print tights for a long time. When I first bought them, I wondered just how often I'd wear them. The answer? All.the.time. :o)

Snake skin print is a bit like leopard skin print in that its impossible to have too much!! Love the dress, but WOW look at those tights - they are amazing!
ReplyDelete:o) The do kick up an outfit a notch or two.
DeleteI love when I buy things I don't think I'll wear a lot and then get a ton of use out of them - its the best!

Oh yes, but it's the worst when I buy something thinking I'll wear it to death then it just fails. There's a certain pair of pants waiting to be dyed in hopes that I can get more wear out of them in a different color.
DeleteYou look so beautiful in that 2 sknakes dress.
ReplyDeleteLove your hair and lovely make up.
