{ fireworks }





{ karen walker sunnies, jean paul gaultier top (previously seen HERE), corello belt (last seen HERE), dedegumo watch, juicy couture cuff and linen shorts, vintage clutch, alexander wang shoes }

i have now worn this exact ensemble twice this month (changing only the belt). the first time was for the fourth of july ~ it just seemed so appropriate for fireworks-watching!! and i enjoyed that evening so much that i decided to give the look another go this week. meanwhile, it's been almost a year since i first wore the top ~ it seems apropos only in the extreme height of summer, and then it's just right.

LOVE that top! I just went to Montreal and saw the entire Jean Paul Gaultier fashion exhibit at the museum of fine arts there. It was absolutely incredible. He's such a talented designer, it's almost unreal. The print reminds me of plasma or space nebulas or something! So cool.

Ladies Evening Belts said...

Ladies evening belts can make any outfit look gorgeous and get you noticed in a crowd. No mater how simple a dress is; it can look beautiful if you have the right kind of belt to go with it. The more elegant belts can have a silver and gold color but you can also find many sober looking belts. Belts can be worn with any kind of outfit ranging from jeans to evening wear. These accessories can be found in many colors and materials and you can also buy them at any decent store or online too.
