white and black lace dress MADISON LONG SLEEVES BACK STRAPS MINI Model wears size S L'AGENCE Fenna Silk Lace Dress

The same month (December 1961) that Breakfast at Tiffanys was released and the world witnessed Audrey Hepburn playing an escort in an LBD ( long black dress in this case) by Hubert de Givenchy, the contraceptive pill also made its UK debut (caveat: for married women only)

As Ive mentioned before, Alice Walk makes the most beautiful cashmere shawls

The mesh adds texture while the boots ground the look in chic Western flair

If you find yourself wondering how you're supposed to embrace these messy ingnue aesthetics as a full-grown adult with a job and responsibilities, have no fear

Or, balance the green sneakers out with an oversized green striped sweater and light straight leg jeans

Unless the invitation calls for a casual dress code, its unlikely for someone to notice if youre slightly overdressed at a black tie event
