Today is the day for 'the wearing of the green', nit that I need much excuse to wear the colour green but when one presents itself you might as well make the most of it! Not only is it Saint Patrick's day, but in 1901 paintings by the late Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh are shown at the Bernheim-Jeune gallery in Paris. The 71 paintings, which captured their subjects in bold brushstrokes and expressive colors, caused a sensation across the art world. Van Gogh had already taken his own life 11 years earlier.
I went for the simplicity of this well tailored dress who is somehow inappropriately named 'Vickie'. It has a slash neckline which draws attention to your face, this is balanced by the three quarter length sleeves. The dress has darts under the bust and a beautiful cross tie belt that skims just under your bust and above your hips. It buttons at the back. There are cute little pleats at the waist that balance the ones under the bust. It is a lovely effect as it draws attention to your shape.It is made from a super soft knitted twill, that has some stretch.
