Spaghetti (Strap) Winter

JV Slip dresses are not just for summer. Turn them loose in winter to kick off the party season. Spaghetti straps love to layer with skinny tops. And a long column of silk brings drama to outerwear and high-heeled boots. When you think you have nothing to wear (or eat), think slip dress from Jane’s Vanity.  

Spaghetti “Cacio e Pepe” comes to mind when contemplating the monochromatic Meghan Luxe Silk Crepe Gown in Black or White from Christine Vancouver. Whichever color you choose, the gown’s drapey skirt will look casually elegant with a fuzzy pull-over sweater and the Margaret dangly baroque pearl earrings from Gisel B.   

Think of a Sicilian dish of eggplant “Pasta alla Norma.” when you wear the purply tones of Christine’s Moonlight Velvet Gown. The silk velvet will keep you warm beneath an interesting bouclé jacket, fun fur, or exotic shawl. 

Perhaps you’ll be channeling Pasta Al Pesto when you dress yourself in the Sophia Jewel Green Slip Dress from Gilda & Pearl. We like it worn as a jumper over the thinnest of tee shirts, then adorned with a happy mix of chains and amulets.   

Inky pasta from the sea might suit the dark blue Night Silk Gown from Morpho + Luna, worn beneath Space Blue Couture Silk Lace Camisole from Merle Noir. Or, dream of tortellini when you choose M+L's Gold Silk Gown paired with Merle Noir’s Dijon Couture Silk Lace Camisole. These camisoles are too gorgeous to hide, so it makes sense to sprinkle them on top. 

Enjoy mixing up some surprises for the holiday season with the secret ingredient of slip-dressing from Jane’s Vanity!
