The Velvet Dress With A Leather Jacket

Feeling Festive In A Velvet Dress And Thigh High Boots

I’m sure you all know just how much I love velvet, if you don’t, where have you been? This dress is one that I have had for about a year and I’ve never actually worn it on my blog. I ended up misplacing it actually, and recently found it again, meaning I get to do a festive outfit with it. It’s always tricky knowing which party dress to go with, I even loved sequins and metallics (like some of these) but my trusty velvet definitely won out in the end.

I was wearing a Short Sleeved Burgundy Velvet Dress by Eight Sixty which I wore with some thermal tights and my Ted & Muffy Empress Boots. I added my ALLSAINTS Balfern Biker Jacket on top for some edge and warmth though, making it appropriate for New Year as well ass a Christmas party. I finished it off with a Topshop Black Velvet Choker and my Chanel Wallet On Chain Bag, to make it a little more classic. I think this is as close to double leather as I have gotten so far with the leather jacket and suede boots, but I actually really love the combination of edginess and femininity. What do you think of my outfit? I would love to know!

    I always like to add some colors to winter like red lipsticks, burgundy nails and wine shoes. Your look is really what I like for this season. So beautiful.

    Wow Lorna, what a sexy combination. Such a sexy dress with those hot boots. You know I am more a wellies fan, but I do love these boots too. So perfect, especially with the jacket.

    That dress is beautiful. 😀 You must have felt so frustrated when you couldn’t find it for song long?!

    I think it’s a perfect Christmas outfit. The velvet is so shiny and such a rich colour. I was a bit surprised to read that it’s burgundy though as I’m seeing it as something closer to a purple in these photos… But the colours are not always as accurate on my laptop as on my tab so that might be it… But if it really is a shade of purple then I like it all the more! 😀 Purple is second only to green in my list of favourite colours.

    The leather jacket and the boots look wonderful together and compliment the dress so well. This is easily my favourite of your velvet looks.

      Thank you so much, Steven 🙂 So happy you like it! I think it’s a mix of purple and burgundy, it’s burgundy in some lights, but because it’s velvet it also shows up as purple as well, so it’s a mix of the two. Very cool! 😀

      I was upset when I couldn’t find it for so long that’s for sure. I remember last year when I wanted to shoot the outfit and couldn’t find it, I was devastated!

      • December 22, 2016 / 5:42 pm

        Oh no… I’ve just noticed the howler of a typo in the first little paragraph of my comment… “song long” 😀

        Ah, I see, yes that makes perfect sense to me that it’s different under different lights. 🙂

    Wow Lorna, you look amazing! I LOVE the burgundy velvet dress, it looks incredible on you. This look is very foxy, and reminiscent of a chic ’90s look! I adore the boots, accessories, and dramatic lip colour too. These images turned out beautifully, and the poses are very strong. I love the picture where you suspend that jacket in the air, seemingly defying gravity!

    Love Saba xx

      Thank you so much! Glad you love it! That last shot was a happy accident that Adam said looked really cool, it was the end part of walking where my jacket flew up when I turned, so we tried to recreate it properly (not blurry) and it came out pretty cool!

      • December 31, 2016 / 9:44 pm

        Wow that’s amazing! I find that unexpected moments like that often lead to the best photographs, and you’ve captured the pose perfectly! xx

    This is another very beautiful outfit you have created 🙂
    I loved this dress and the idea of a combo with a leather jacket!

    I’m not too crazy about velvet, but it looks so beautiful layered with that leather jacket.
