Its been way too long since my last OOTD post. So I’m starting up again by featuring this amazing velvet dress that I scored at the thrift store this past weekend. As I was combing through the racks of clothes, it was like a velvet explosion. Everywhere I looked, there were velvet dresses, blazers, skirts and bags so I had to get at least one. Well, I actually picked up this gray dress as well as a black one since they were $3.

I have to admit, wearing a long sleeve velvet dress underneath a wool blazer is intense. In the future, I’ll save this ensemble for when its really cold outside. Other than that, I absolutely love this dress and it will probably be a staple in the coming months.

I know a lot of ladies are weary when it comes to a bodycon fit being as how its tight across the belly. I say, if you got it, flaunt it. I don’t perceive it to be a flaw but if I want a much smoother line I could throw on some Spanx. Sometimes though, I like to just say the hell with it and keep it moving. Its all about confidence.
