outfit post: Darker than Black

   
  And I, infinitesimal being,
  drunk with the great starry void,
  likeness, image of mystery,
  felt myself a pure part of the abyss,
  I wheeled with the stars,
  my heart broke loose on the wind.
                                                     -Pablo Neruda

  • Merona cotton dress- Target
  • Vintage skinny leather belt
  • Mexican Mary cuff

    Black looks so gorgeous on you, that dress fits you like a dream and the hat only emphasises your beauty. The jewels make me go weak at the knees. xxx

    Delish bracelets, and what a cute dress, darkest black yet springtime fresh. I like how it displays and accentuates your tattoos.

    This look has a bit of the joyfulness of a flapper girl mix with the deep thoughtfulness of a Pablo Nedura poem!
    If you like Pablo Neruda you may also like to read Ruben Dario.

    You are like a 1920's hottie updated for today, which I love. The cuff is killing me, it is so beautiful and I like the slimmest of red belts around that dress. Girly with edge, love, love!

    Ooh, what a fantastic cuff. I also love the red belt with the all black. I adore red accessories with black or black and white polka dots. The belt also creates a lovely feminine silhouette.

    to be honest,I prefer you in color! I feel like all the black doesn't match your sweet personality.

    Nonetheless, you look great Bella.
