<!-- SC_OFF -->Just to start... I only wear barefoot shoes which makes it extra hard... This is a very carefully curated outfit I'm planning to wear for a wedding that's in a gothic romantic style. The invite didn't specify any proper dress code but it's in Italy so I am pretty sure everyone is going to wear Armani. I just feel like this screams elevated Christmas office party. I'm getting also a pair of burgundy lace tights so it's less office glamour meets every day comfort more office gothic. Any ideas? Suggestions? I'm no make up artist too... I may do an up do but don't know how... :D HELP! HELP! I was thinking about a soft black/burgundy shrug maybe... Maybe some velvet cape? Please don't poo poo this selection, I have been very clumsy in my previous outfit choices and I'm trying to put some effort this time :(. On the plain dress... I am trying to be pragmatic and buy something that I will use again. It does look a bit better in real life... <!-- SC_ON -->
