Vogue Fashion Writer, Esther Adams, solved the age-old dilemma for brides this week in the Vogue.com column "Five Days, Five Looks, One Girl." After spending a fortune on a dress one loves, wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to wear that dress again? It can be done, as Adams demonstrated.
For her civil ceremony in London (Working for Vogue and being married in London?! Lucky girl!), Adams wore a dress from Maison Martin Margiela. The white frock came to the knee and had a delicate embellishment down the center of the dress that I couldn't quite make out from the photo. Post-civil ceremony, she turned the white dress into the perfect day dress, pairing it with a black blazer from DKNY and those fabulous Swiss dot tights from Gerbe that I was obsessed with back in November. Ankle booties from Zara completed the look.
I love the contrast of a white dress with black tights, or black tights worn with white shoes. It always adds an interesting graphic element to any look. The fact that she created this elegant, yet practical look from a wedding dress proves that you can always breathe new life into old pieces, even if that item is a statement piece like a wedding dress.
Brides, take note!
