Velvet has been everywhere lately—on clothing, accessories and even furniture. But I've been slow to warm up to the trend. I think it can sometimes look tacky and outdated. But when I found this tank dress at Zara, I had to have it.
First off, I love tank dresses. But you already knew that if you saw this post. I love the way they hug my body and accentuate the little curves I do have. I also gravitate to any midi dress because they're sexy while still maintaining some sophistication. Additionally, the deep, metallic purple is one of my favorite colors to wear because it adds a subtle pop of color in evening attire.
And since the dress is fabulous all on its own, I decided just to pair it with this black leather jacket and these Steve Madden heels. This is one time that keeping it simple paid off.
