Grommets

Typically I am not a fan of "hardware" on clothing. I prefer to use various accessories as a way to play with trends and embellishments. However, I was drawn to this dress. The burnished grommets running down the dress reminded me of medieval times while the color, style and crinkle stretch fabric echoed the right amount of classic safari. Somehow all these references and details seemed timeless and quite wearable. Playing with these themes and textures, I chose chunky cork wedges with a zebra pattern and an engraved bronze beaded cuff to pull together this outfit.

Burberry dress, Prada shoes and Stephen Dweck cuff. All items available at Neiman Marcus Paramus, N.J.
