When I saw the names given to the different color variations of caLLie cLine‘s latest dress, I expected to find her signature palette of fun, bright tones. With names like sUmmeR’s sUnsHiNe, haRpeRs biZZaRe, gRaciana’s gOOdieS, gOgO giRL, baBy’s boDaciOuSneSS, and caLLie’s crazy paisley party dress, you can imagine my surprise when I realized the shades of blue, steel, copper, grape and black and white were muted, delicate and the perfect tones for showing off the classic paisley print.
The paisly party dress by caLLie cLine with its bell skirt, strapless bodice, plunging back and wide belt can be dressed up or down. And because the colors are so soft and almost neutral, the dress creates a stunning backdrop on which to show off a spectacular piece of jewelry or other stand-out accessory. Zaara‘s Malachite Necklace, with matching earrings, is just such a piece. The large green stones accented with black and silver beg to be worn with an outfit that will compliment, not compete with, their eye-catching presence. I added a couple of large rings with black stones, Redgrave’s Big Sapphire and Paper Couture’s Times Square, and my go-to manicure, Super Nova by Nevermore.
As usual, Callie gives you tons of options with this dress and includes all of the accessories you need to wear it right out of the store, including puffed, off the shoulder arm cuffs with lace trim, and a complete set of black diamond jewelry – ring, bracelet and earrings. I chose baBy’s boDaciOuSneSS for this photo, but I’ll admit that the grape hue of sUmmeR’s sUnsHiNe is probably my favorite. But you should try them all, mix and match them with your favorite accessories and create a look that is uniquely you. Have Fun!
