Foreign Exchange lace dress (similar in white cotton), body chain c/o Sugar Scout, and fringe boots


I like to use an LBD as a blank canvas of sorts to wear with new hairstyles and fun accessories. After glimpsing a braided ballerina bun on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it out with my new black lace dress, body chain, and fringe boots last Friday night.  To my pleasant surprise, it only took a few minutes to create the braid and bun, and I appreciated it as a second day hair solution and a counterpart to the cold shoulder silhouette. Given the large quantity of ankle boots and jewelry that I own, can you believe that I didn't own fringe wedge booties or a body chain/belt until now? It's hard to believe, but occasionally, there are still some gaps in my closet.
