Lightning Leopard

01/25/19 | cupcakes and cashmere, Fashion Friday, Nordstrom, Rebecca Minkoff, Shopbop

cupcakes and cashmere Jola Dress 08

It is so chilly.   Granted, I have not seen a negative temperature (at least in Farenheight) like New York has but it snowed this week both in London and Amsterdam, and brrr.   Last week I featured one of my go-to cold weather looks but now I wanted to think a bit warmer and share with you a good Valentine’s Day look or something that would work for a date night. 

I really like this black and gold leather dress because while it has long sleeves – my favorite – it also features a keyhole back and a shorter hemline perfect for twirling or pairing with tights, depending on where your night is taking you.  I opted for out the tights when I shot it but for the next few weeks in London, I would definitely throw them on!

    Perfect little not just black dress.

    I can see in your face how happy you feel wearing this dress. Loved the twirling photos.

    Hope you got to go dancing.

    I love this leopard dress on you. Perfect for date night. I love those metallic high heel sandals too. Boyfriend approved.

    I love the look on you. Fun and flirty without looking like you’re trying too hard.

    Those gold shoes really make the outfit.
