Antithesis

Coachella starts next week and just about every blog and social media channel is talking about getting your wardrobe ‘festival ready’.  A lovely sentiment if the style fits your aesthetic, but flower crowns and denim cutoffs that resemble underwear are not my cup of tea.  I do, however, love two elements typically found in festival attire: volume and texture.  I’m less desert, more Dolce.

When I saw this white lace dress I knew it could give off desert vibes with it’s bell sleeves and all over textured lace.  Inspired by one of my favorite Dolce & Gabbana ad campaigns, I put my own personal touch on it by donning massive sunglasses, a signature Italian red lip and statement shoes and earrings.  A touch of sass sans sand.

This dress is a great representation of the power of personal style.  On a hanger it fits multiple aesthetics.  On a woman, it completely transforms.

How would you style it?
