“You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.” – Isadora Duncan
Every time I want to wear this dress, I second guess myself because I’m worried it will freak people out due to its busy pattern and spiked shoulders. I actually bought this dress a couple years ago, and have only worn it a few times. However, in the last year or so, I have seen so many studded clothing items and accessories thanks to Valentino. Adding studs really gives an outfit an edge, and combined with animal print, I feel that it can look either tacky or rocking. My tip is to not overdo it – avoid studded shoes with a studded purse with a studded jacket paired with different animal prints. There’s often a fine line between fashionable and gaudy.
