Pink Crush Velvet Dress | Embroidered Jeans | Pink Velvet Sneakers
To avoid being too overly predictable–velvet, blushing pink, and sneakers–I tried something new. I wore things under the dress: a crisp white shirt and a pair of embroidered jeans under the dress make for a way more casual look to this ultra shimmery velvet crush dress. I am often guilty of eating my breakfast or lunch in a 5 minute break. It’s awful really and not a very French way of eating and enjoying my meal. Therefore, if I place a fashion magazine under my nose, I have the chance of taking 15 minutes to eat rather than 5. I also benefit in my #ootd department. Recently while reading the February People Style Watch, I came across a couple of trends to try: the white shirt and crop jeans under the dress. Presto! I read, learned, and executed! What do you think?
Do you wear something under your dress?
Now that Shein reached out to me, I’ve started visiting this site with more regularity. I have found something out: somehow this brand has items that have sold out of other stores–like Zara for example. My jeans are from Zara and long gone sold out, yet I was able to find a version of them (for only $30!) on Shein right now. My dress, which was only #14 is also from Shein, yet I remember seeing it online at Zara… Hmm, I won’t wonder too much about how Shein has these items, but I like the price and so far the quality is great! Do give Shein a try if you are thinking about sampling a trend.
Do you have a go-to place for trying out trends? Do share!!

This outfit is great!!! I have that issue of People Style Watch but haven’t looked at it yet.
Also, I’ve purchased from Shein and been happy with my buys! I’ll look over their latest offerings when I finish here.
Once again your post reminds me of how cool velvet is. Pink velvet may hold a an extra bit of pizzazz! ! I’ll bet those velvet tennis shoes are comfy cozy too! This is a really fun outfit and I’m going to add it to my agenda!
Thank you so much Jude! I have to say, I’m very happy with how this outfit turned out. I wore it to work. Aren’t I lucky with how much freedom I have at my job with what I wear!?
I’m glad Shein is working out for you. It’s a bit of a hit-miss I guess. I think Suzanne was quite disappointed. 🙁
I bet Shein copies….because my Zara one is in excellent condition. How is yours?
Love, Ann
I ordered the dress from Zaful not Shein. I haven’t received it yet but I’ll let you know what I think when I do. The discussion on Suzanne’s blog was really stimulating!!
I really loved the fact that my clothing restrictions while still in my teaching career were pretty minimal. I used common sense on the shortness of my skirts and showed no cleavage ( have none to show anyway). Middle school kids are in a constant state of rebellion where school dress codes are concerned so I tried to be a good role model but that was easy to do while still having lots of fun with fashion.
Heehehe! I have to admit: sometimes I think I push the line!! But then when I feel that way I reign it in and reassess that clothing item. I was the gal in high school that started a petition against our dress code that said girls couldn’t wear shorts. This was in 1989 or so, and Benetton always had the cutest, wool shorts. My fashion fixations go way back!! A x
I got sent home from school in my junior year because I wore a skort (basically a wide legged short)to school.
I like a woman who has acts of rebellion in her soul!
