I bought a black zipper-sleeve dress a couple of weeks ago and I’m really happy with its versatility. Yesterday, I decided to wear it as a top over a simple white tee, with a studded belt and black buckled boots.

Next time, I might layer it over a sheer black shirt and lace tights. Stay tuned…

Wearing:

• Tee: Gap
• Zipper dress: Kill City
• Jeans: Forever 21
• Belt: Hot Topic
• Boots: Report
• Bag: Love Culture

Like many of you, I love studs and zippers, but this is the first time I’ve worn them together. I always thought mixing the metals might be too punk rock for my style, but I think it’s subtle enough to pull off. Would you?

I didn’t realize until I after I shot the outfit pics, but this is definitely something I could see on one of my favorite TV characters, Ugly’s Betty’s Amanda Tanen (played by Becki Newton).  For those who aren’t familiar, she works for a Vogue-esque magazine called MODE and has amazing style (would love to go shopping with her stylist).
