As mentioned in my previous post I was recently invited to the AKE Fashion Party. I deliberated for a while on what to wear but finally decided I wanted to wear velvet as I love velvet, it’s a major trend this season and I hadn’t yet worn any …so along came this black velvet dress.
I decided to go all out velvet so I paired it with velvet studded ankle boots, and a velvet vintage bag. At first I was worried this would be too much black and velvet but after trying it on, I decided it looked good; since it’s a short dress the amount of skin on show offset the black velvet.
What I love about this dress is the padding and jewelled appliqué on the shoulders
I also accessorised with some simple quartz jewellery and simple stud earrings.
Here is a photo taken with my friend Nicki, my guest for the night, who wore a lovely black lace dress with a studded denim jacket – LIKE.

Very brave Caroline, but you've nailed it! What a beautiful dress and you wear it so well. I spent almost two weeks with some style consultants in westfield before we found a dress like this, where did you pick it up?!
