"Gothic Placement" dress: courtesy of Motel Rocks (link here)
Leather jacket: Saba
Silver shoes: lovelyshoes.net
Spiked necklace: Lovisa
Silver bangles: Lovisa, Colette
I've seen this gorgeous blue and white, vintage glass window print from Motel Rocks on bloggers everywhere, and I couldn't wait to try on the dress version their lovely staff sent me! There's something about the shapes and design of the print that creates a grungy, romantic-gothic feel, setting it apart from your average sexy bodycon dress. Although it's a tight-fitting dress, the material is perfectly thick enough to not cling to every bulge and bump and let the world know what a big feast you just had (we always seem to take photos right after eating! And everytime I eat out I have to eat large lol).
I preferred wearing this dress with the jacket over it, as to not attract so many stares especially considering how short this is on me (I chose size XS/8 and I think S would've been better). The zip jacket from Saba is shared between my mum and I, and being pure leather it is definitely the most expensive item in my wardrobe (not disclosing the price!) Everytime I take it out I'm terrified of accidentally tainting it, but its buttery soft, and luxurious feel makes the jacket totally worth it. As the fit of the jacket is just a tad baggy for my preference, I popped it over my shoulders to divert the overall look from sexy, to edgy and fierce :)
I know I say this so often about our photoshoots, but this one was in such windy conditions that one of my false eyelashes fell off! Luckily the weather gods were gracious enough to time this disaster right after the shoot, so there's no awkward big eye/small eye fiasco going on in these photos.
I see why you needed to cover up with that jacket -- you're an absolute headturner with this outfit! I love the print and the length really emphasizes your legs! Your accessories are gorgeous, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd how do you do it??? How do you eat a large meal and not get fat?? People like you are just so blessed with such good metabolism! :-)

OMG, an eyelash flew off?!! That's sad and funny all at the same time. LOL. Okay, I've laughed, now I'm sorry. :) I love the mirror print of this dress! And the color is so bright and pretty. That's the one thing about body con dresses is that sometimes they can be so dang short! Just don't put it in the dryer! <3

I was eyeing this dress just yesterday! I must point out first, how I love your vampy makeup! I really love how you managed to tie the outfit together also with silver that's in different shades and not at all clashy. I think the Baroque patterns just instanteously remind me of cathedrals so the gothic vibe is so there! But not dark and somehow quite romantic. I really like how the leather jacket is shared between your mother and you, quite adorable. And its extremely versatile too, and because of the colour, doesn't distract away from the dress :) Popping a jacket over your shoulders rather than wearing it because that's so mainstream /hahahahaha/ And to think that this was shot through windy conditions is hard to believe, you look so composed and perfect! And your eyelash x_x Efficent timing Izzy, and great post as always!
ReplyDeletei really like this rougher look on you! great jewelry & i like your dark make-up, especially because of your pale skin & dark hair! great look!

ReplyDeleteI am so in love with the whole outfit, like you have this beautiful curves in your slim shape, like your body is to die for, and the skin-tight dress fits you so well, (reminds me of my mum, she wears skin-tight dresses a lot, she is on my newest portfolio on my blog:))
ReplyDeleteStunning dress, I saw it on Ashley Tisdale recently and thought the print was so cool, but I love how you've styled it even more!
ReplyDeleteadorable! love your dress! great prints! :)

You certainly look rather striking in the skirt. The leather jacket complements it perfectly.

Wooow, amazing dress, I LOVE! <3
ReplyDelete♥♥♥
The print is stunning, I love the accessories you chose to compliment it! I totally know what you mean, sometimes when I wear short skirts/dresses I just want to crawl inside a hole and change into baggy jeans, since some people really stare very openly, and my figure is nowhere near as great as yours, so I guess men fall off their bikes and crash their cars when you walk past them. XD And OMG, the eyelash falling off must have been irritating, though it sounds really funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, happy friday!
ReplyDeleteHi, Izzy! You look fabulous in this kind of dresses, they suit your bodyshape so well! I also love your bangles.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for sharing information about your interview, it's very nice. I have never had any important interviews so far but I will keep in mind what you said :)
What a great outfit! Love the print on the dress and love the metallic accessories xx

print's superb and really draws attention. I think blue for spring is very intense too. would be great if we can mix yellows and blues in one outfit :D and seriously, I really like your make-up! such defined eyes Izzy. spot on :)

Love your dress!!! you look so beautiful!!!!xxxxx
ReplyDeleteThe print is so striking! I'm a big fan of Motel, but do always find their dresses a little too short for me too. The leather jacket is gorgeous, so I'd say it was totally worth the cost, the notches at the front & the double zip pockets are such a nice touch. I also love how the backdrop here is all similar colours to your outfit, makes for some really beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so gorgeous! I love the jacket and necklace you added, it all looks so phenomenal :-)

ReplyDeleteLove your dress. :D I'm really loving baroque and similar prints for the upcoming season. You look like a vase haha. The dress seems quite short though. Or maybe you're just much taller than me.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit on you! :) You look really fierce like a powerful independent woman :D hehe. I've been meaning to buy a leather jacket (light colored) like the one you have. Haven't found a good one in stores though. Still on the lookout!! I'm loving the blue printed dress~

Oh my goodness - I can't imagine how windy that must've been lol! The print of the dress is so striking and the leather jacket is super gorgeous :) I'd definitely be paranoid of tainting it when wearing it out, considering how light it is and how gorgeous the leather sounds!
ReplyDeleteThe patterns on this dress are stunning! It actually reminds me a lot of those massive cathedrals which are in Europe. (I think they amazingly beautiful, and every time I look at them, I find myself wanting to take up architecture even though I suck at drawing haha ><)
ReplyDeleteFantastic dress! The print is amazing!
ReplyDeletecallmemaddie.blogspot.com
This dress is really attention grabbing. I love the prints on it and it is a good move to tone down the attention with the leather jacket. I could almost feel how buttery soft it is from your description. The dress is really short and if it were me, I wouldn't dare to wear it out. Maybe only for a photoshoot. Lol... It's rather courageous of you to wear it out. You look gorgeous as always.
ReplyDeleteWOW! one of my favorite looks on you. The pattern and fit of this dress are divine!

You look so stunning. <3 <3 <3 That dress is gorgeous. Love the colors. LOL at the false lashes. Thank goodness, you were done with the shoot when one of them decided to fall off.
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is stunning and I immediately saw it first (I'm a sucker for a good jacket). Beyond the jacket, that print is very graphic and I think it lends itself well to a dress like that. Did you manage to catch your renegade eyelash?
ReplyDeletethankyou! haha renegade lash- yes I did!
Deletelove your dress, gorg!
ReplyDeleteomg I love that print from Motel Rocks~ I'm totally eyeing the jeans in that print. Another perfect outfit :D

I love this dress. The style suits you so well and I adore the pattern. It is a unique pattern but so incredible. The way you styled it is great; also love the leather jacket and shoes. It must be so lovely to have an actual leather jacket. I'm so sorry I haven't commented on your blog for awhile. I have been incredibly busy. Congrats on your job and I'm going to spend some time reading your last post on interviews. I've never been to a job interview so I need help. A government job is actually my prefered job if I do end up going into law but I'm having a bit of a crisis I desperately do not want to work in law anymore so I need to work out what I'm doing with my life. Unfortunately jobs have become a low priority for me. I am so stressed out with other things like wedding and moving out that I can't take much more on at the moment. Oh well, in time I say!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is absolutely amazing! Especially with the leather jacket! Love it!

For me it's a first time seeing that print on a blogger tho! :D Looks nice~~ Love the jacket as well!
ReplyDeleteAnd omg, one of your eyelashes FELL off? Maybe you should consider getting a new glue? Just saying, since it has never happened to me after using falsies for like...4 years :o your eye make-up looks great tho! ^^
So lovely post!!!
ReplyDeleteAdore your style!!!

ReplyDeletecrunchy cheese me
Your outfit is gorgeous as always but I have to compliment you on your eyebrows! I've just started filling mine in and I never thought it would be THAT hard!
ReplyDeleteSorry that it's taken me so long to reply to you! I am completely unsuited to Twitter. I literally write essay-style responses to people so I kept putting it off. Then assignments came along and rah rah rah. You know how it goes! AHAH. I'm not working at the moment, I'm actually gone back at uni studying HR and Business Law. The irony is that I'm really loving Business Law! It's like the concise version of Contracts. I keep telling myself that they keyword is concise, so I don't suddenly decide 'ohhh I want to do law next semester!'
Over the past few weeks, it's been made quite obvious to me that the people who work in law do not enjoy it. GAH! What to do!
This dress is just perfect! The pattern and the colors are stunning and you look gorgeous in it! Also I love how you styled the whole look.

ReplyDeleteAnd I know how you feel about the leather jacket. I really splurged on one last year and am SUPER careful with it everytime I wear it, up to this day (and probably for the next five to come HAHA)
AMAZING. That gothic dress and leather jacket creates a literal classy combination. And what is intriguing is the colours you picked, apart from the bold and classy get up, you managed to find a very catchy and light colour combo. Anyhow, you always are my blogger inspiration, you know how to carry yourself well with your outfit and find the perfect words to share it with your readers <3
