happy st. patrick's day!

dress: vintage valentino, clutch: vintage, ring: purpose, earrings: guess, shoes: f21, sunglasses: a.j. morgan, nail polish: opi's done out in deco

what better way to celebrate st. patty's day than in green vintage valentino??  i paired this girly dress with a fabulous industrial ring from purpose (if you want to win this ring, don't forget to enter my giveaway HERE) and some fun & colorful accessories!  i'm actually wearing the dress backwards (which i tend to do quite often!) because i love having the plunging v and bold buttons in the back.

spring has officially sprung here in nashville and there are all sorts of gorgeous flowers popping up everywhere! is it still cold where you all are or is it finally warming up?

stayfabulous,
zarna

You look great! Wearing the dress backwards was a really good idea, I like it that way! & I'm so happy that spring is showing up everywhere!

I'm really feeling you wearing items backwards. I remember you mentioned it in another post especially if the neckline is too revealing or in my case you don't have anything to reveal. The colors in the dress are so pretty & springy and your hair gets 5 stars.

I love the first shot! Incredible how you turned that dress around. I hadn't realised until you mentioned it. Like I always say, some people are born with it.
Great pictures as always.

p.s. spring in your area...I'm so jealous. This morning I had to back into the house to get an extra layer on and it's mid-march for crying out loud!

Of course you are celebrating in green. Have you seen the most amazing tree behind you. the combination with the blue shoes is simple magnificent. The little buttons on the back are simple divine. This look is so interesting, and there is so much to discover. You are so amazing with long earrings, way to bold for me, but you look smashing. I don’t know, this look makes me smile because it is stylish and fun.
