For a dinner at Bardot, I wore this lush velvet and silk tunic from Lafayette 148 NY. I’ve long admired them for putting out beautiful quality clothing and was so excited to see their latest collection is full of sumptuous fabrics. It was love at first sight when I opened the box and saw the beautiful inky velvet. This noir hue is darker than anything I own – perfect for night.
I wore it with a short skirt underneath, but I was aiming for the look of a loose minidress. The skirt has a mesh overlay, which gave a risqué edge to this otherwise demure look. The sack dress has become a modern classic and it’s also super easy to wear. All shapes and sizes can wear this beautiful silhouette!
