Last
week’s post featured a number of items from the wardrobe of the CW’s new,
younger Carrie Bradshaw. This week’s comes from the same series but in the form
of English wild card Larissa Loughlin, played by Freema Agyeman. Again a piece
from H&M, this dress wasn’t one that I particularly liked when it was in
store last season, having seen it reworked on the small screen has not only
made me wish I’d bought the dress, but inspired me to rework some pieces from
my own wardrobe.
Larissa
wore the dress to a Halloween party in Manhattan and reworked it with a feather
waistcoat, a feathered hat and bright pink eyelash extensions to complete her
look as a ‘Bird of Paradise’. Considering most of the guests at the party were
dressed in provocative underwear and masquerade masks (With the exception of
Carrie and Walt who went as Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles
respectively), Larissa was undoubtedly the best dressed of the episode.
As
with last week’s pieces, the dress is now sold out in store. However a few can
still be found on eBay.
Whilst it is not the most versatile of dresses Agyemans character shows that
with just a few simple touches a statement dress like this can be used for more
than just one occasion.
