That looks beautiful =) You remind me so much of a (more romantic) coco chanel with the hair and the black dress, love it (have you seen the new film adaption with audrey tautou yet? it is great)

Thank you! I went to see the other film made of Coco Chanel (Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky) in which Anna Mouglalis acts and it was goooood! But gotta see Audrey’s version of Coco, too C:

Just gorgeous

It’s gorgeous! I really like the “sleeves”, I mean, they’re not sleeves, but they give the impression of it. And the neckline both front and back is very flattering.
