the first date dress.

hi there, delightful dozen readers! veronika from tick tock vintage here. it's no secret that i think red velvet and the lovely ladies that run it are the bee's knees, so you can imagine my excitement when another red velvet piece came up for swapping. i've always found it really hard to wear black and white together. it seems like such a simple combination, but i just felt like it never worked on me. i tried to bring some color to the outfit with some super bright kelly-green tights and a blue suede belt.
dress: red velvet's 'first date dress'
belt: forever21
shoes: courtesy of korkease
tights: we love colors

here's how tieka wore the dress -
cutie pie!

Kelly green and Cobalt blue look amazing together, so paired with a basic b&w number is brilliant!! Love how you also styled the belt!

Love how both of you styled this beautiful dress, specially how you girls add bight colors to make the dark color of the dress stand out from it's own.
