Designers
across the globe make amazing works of art—delicate dresses, jewels, and
display worthy accessories…
However, many times, these pieces are simply too fragile/grand to wear everyday. Once in a long while, I’ll splurge on items that sit on display in my closet for years collecting dust before finding it’s way to sunlight. On a whim, I bought this Gatsby-Esque cocktail dress a year ago in hopes of wearing it on a special occasion, and finally had the opportunity to slip into it for a collaborative photo shoot with photographer/friend Jansen Teo.

Over the
weekend, I lugged a suitcase of dresses and accessories to his studio, and
spent an entire afternoon snapping different ensembles. We shot simple portraits against a black
backdrop for the first few hours, but decided to create a set with my
accessories for our final outfit.
I saved
the best for last, and eagerly changed into my puffy dress with an overall
regal/vintage vibe. The soft pastel hues
of grey and blue in combination with layers of fine chiffon carefully pieced
together perfectly complemented our garden of accessories. I completed the outfit with a bejeweled headband
as Jansen snapped away. I guess the wait
was worth it~ my dress finally had it’s 15 minutes of fame, and I had the
opportunity to work with another talented, creative photographer. Please take a look at his work at http://www.jansenteo.com/.
Have an
amazing rest of the week and thank you so much for reading!
