Surf's Up!

Dress: Subcult / Shoes: Alexander Wang / I.D. Necklace: PlusMinusTimesDivide

This dress was part of the loot bag that I got from Subcult last week. I actually let out a loud shriek when I spotted the surfboard print on it. Not only does this dress carry one of my favorite graphic prints, it also had a Balenciaga & Christopher Kane touch to it which I adore. Allow me to impart a styling trick that I always apply to dresses when I want a more casual look: I tie a long belt around the waist and gather the top part of the dress to create a billowy, dropwaist silhoutte. I've done this trick a number of times already, as evidenced HERE and HERE. For this somber summer look, I went with minimal accessories and just wore a couple of bracelets and a statement I.D. necklace from PlusMinusTimesDivide.

Who says you can't go dark for summer?
