Copper Silk, Black Dress

[firstfrost]

I bought a black dress to wear with the copper shawl I made! I am not sure this is the right way one is supposed to deal with accessories, but it's not like I have an overabundance of dresses. Well, possibly I do compared to the dresses I ever wear. Anyway. The dress code for chanaleh's birthday party was "fabulous (or comfortable)" so that seemed like an excuse to wear it, since rifmeister isn't holding proms any more.

Please note that these are not my black sneakers, they are actual dress flats... it seems unfair that they still look like sneakers in the picture.

You look so elegant!

Thank you! I always worry a little that lace shawls will be grandmotherly rather than elegant, but maybe that's only if they are fluffy and pink. :)

I also think one's shawls need to be rather heavier and less lacy to look grandmotherly.
