Black Roses

Roses: any of the wild or cultivated, usually prickly-stemmed, pinnate-leaved, showy-flowered shrubs of the genus Rosa.
I got this dress from my cousin over winter break since she's started a little business with clothes. She bought some samples back to Jakarta and we had a view things to look through, so that was nice. I really like this dress, I think I can wear it formally as well as casually. It has this gorgeous rose detail on the neckline. I usually wouldn't get dresses like this but this one caught my eye.

There's a few ways that you can work a dress like this to make it more casual. I was thinking of an outerwear (coat or blazer), or accesorize (so a belt). I'm still not sure about how it looks though, so what do you guys think?

I think belting it makes the bottom of the dress look really square which kind of looks awkward. Comments? Anyways, so here's the outfit:

Grainy photos look really old school.

These Zara ankle strap heels I wore for my prom last year.

QUICK UPDATE:


Just had my little 17th birthday dinner with my closest friends. I had a really good time and they all looked so good in their outfits. Here are some pictures:
