One Last French Connection: ootd

    One last post with photos from the old address and then it's all new material from here on out.  As promised this is the third and probably final installation in my French Connection tube dress series.  This dress  was worn by Kristen Stewart at some premier or other.  Given that she's standing next to Robert Patinson, I'm thinking Twilight.  At any rate it became the more popular of the two available prints.  You can see my post with the bright plaid version of this dress here.

    I love the brighter plaid version, but a plaid in all neutrals like this one leaves lots of room to be creative, the sky's the limit really.  However, for this first outfit with this dress, I decided to keep it simple and start with some burgundy tights and black heels.  While the top is neutral, the texture of the lace provides some great visual interest.  So, while I probably won't buy anymore of these French Connection Dresses, I'll definitely have future outfit posts with this particular plaid.

French Connection: ootd

    French Connection is starting to seem like a one trick pony.  Every dress that I see by that label seems to be the exact same strapless mini tube dress with a different print.  I now own three and they're all alike.  Oh, well, at least that means that I know exactly what to expect and how to correct it.  My main grievance is the length.  This dress needs more everything.  I can't wear one without at least a shirt or tights to cover something up.  That's ok, I like the layered look.  So, I present to you my second French Connection dress layered up for weather and modesty.  See my first dress here and photos of my third are coming soon.
