After scouring the internets for something similar, I just ended up renting this to layer with a vintage beaded necklace. I wore this looped around my neck once like a choker, and the rest of the length hanging low. This made the pearls almost exactly match the vintage beads in length. I also rented the dress (Haute Hippie: Andromeda Mini). I loved the whole look.

I love these bangles and I wish to own them and wear them everyday! I wore these to an art deco inspired wedding.

I wore this to a wedding rehearsal dinner. The dress I was wearing to the wedding the following day was black, loose-fitting, and short, so I wanted to go with a very different but still classy look for the rehearsal dinner. I absolutely LOVE this dress. I got a ton of compliments and wish I could wear this everyday. This is never something I would think to try on, and I'm so glad the RTR stylist suggested it to me. As I busted the bank accessorizing my look for the actual wedding day, I paired this with jewelry and shoes I already had. Sorry, this is kind of a crappy photo.

I was in the bridal party for an art deco 20s/30s themed wedding. I went for a full-on "Gatsby" 20s look and chose this little beaded cocktail number. It was so spot on for the theme, though still felt contemporary. The beading gave the dress a nice weight, which a) feels fancy and formal and b) made the material drape wonderfully over curves. Sack-like dresses generally don't do any favors for girls with womanly figures, but the weight of this dress and the low-slung tie belt really makes this dress flattering for the non-pixies among us ladies. Best of all, it was COMFORTABLE, meaning if I wanted to eat my whole steak dinner AND cake AND bottomless glasses of champagne and gin & tonics, I could. I'd probably feel gross afterwards, but the dress would still fit wonderfully! However, I was too busy dancing the night away (sadly missing most of my dinner), the point being that dancing in this dress was great too! So comfortable and non-constrictive, and no fear of body parts falling out. The dress is moderately short but the slits on the side make the dress feel shorter, and i wore it with patterned tights and platform high heel mary janes to accentuate the legs. I'm shorter with stocky legs, so being leggy for a night is a lot of fun.

I love that this dress is sexy and gives the illusion of a ridiculously high slit, when in fact it is quite demure. The fitted waist is flattering, the neckline is respectable, and it is not too tight. After having chosen and reserved this dress, I went on an accessories buying flurry and planned my hair, makeup, and mani/pedi, and it all went off without a hitch. I got a ton of compliments from everyone. I detract one star because I am not a huge fan of that tiny breast pocket, and that elastic waistband doesn't do much for me on its own. I did cover it up with a belt (which I believe was the point).
