Velvet Underground

With holidays and parties approaching, the biggest evening wear trend (along with sequins) is getting reacquainted with our long lost friend, Velvet. Fall runways were consistent showing velvet separates... I'm a little hesitant on crushed velvet, but then I just think of Stevie Nicks and Mick Jagger rocking the trend in the 70's and suddenly it all seems Ok :)

This is me above actually 'spinning' true Stevie style to Nightbird, in my friends velvet burnout wrap :)

(sidenote: Topshop has an awesome black velvet kimono I've had my eye on...just a matter of time before I crack. Check here for other velvet pieces!)
