Dress Up

Although velvet pieces are most commonly showcased during the winter months and throughout the holiday seasons, while there is snow covering the ground, velvet is a textile that I feel is still very much appropriate. Velvet, if worn incorrectly, can have the tendency to appear quite heavy and seem as if it is weighing down the wearer. However, this dress that actress Emma Roberts is wearing, does not have that affect. Even though it is both long-sleeved and in a deep wine color; with the short length, delicate keyhole neckline, and slight draping, that heaviness that is so often associated with velvet pieces is not seen in this dress.

What are your feelings towards velvet?

Person of Interest: Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts's style is one that I feel doesn't attract as much attention as it should. While her hair alone is a cut that I admire, her clothing style is one that I envy, as well. Full of relatively simple and easy shapes and lines, Emma's look always appears spot-on in an effortless manner.  While typically clad in neutral (black, white, grey) or muted (greens, burgundies, and navy) colors, her looks never appear dull. Casually, she seems to favor slim fitting pants paired with favorite boots of any kind or heels, and easy tops. For dressier occasions, she usually opts for dresses. And, though petite in stature, her floor grazing frocks never overpower her frame and always look stunning.

What do you think of Emma Roberts as the Person of Interest? Are there any style savvy ladies you would like to see featured as the POI on Wednesdays?
