Description

another roxietoxl takeover. this one is navy blue leather with turquoise snakeskin & tortoise shell patches in greens, golds & blues. pewter closure. i kind of want this one for myself, but how to marry it with oonaballoona’s style….

the dress is a variation on a wonderful tutorial here by lauriana, listed in related techniques (please god, someone teach me how to insert links here, the how-to on this page doesn’t work, or maybe it doesn’t work with safari?) ?

    This is so very nice, love the dress with the unusual turtle neck and the colour very beautiful! Well done with the belt.

      thanks girl! lauriana’s tutorial for the dress is really fun— i changed the line of the dress and tapered the neck to just barely squeeze over my head, so it would stand up at the neck. i didn’t even realize i paired a turtleneck dress with a belt named after a turtle till after i took the pics :)

    Oh I love your colour combinations, this one and the “one hand in by belt pocket” one. You’re making my eyes pop!

    I like the colours.

    Do links like this just without the space between the second " and the : “here by lauriana” :http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/jersey-dress-with-pleats

    It’s not the easiest way ever of doing links…. :)
