Maury as Wang-derWoman

I finally went to visit Gisela at her beautiful pad in Jersey where we
talked for hours about fashion and the blogging world. I decided to
wear my mom's hand-me-down CACHE dress circa 1987. It had been sitting
in my closet since I was like 18 and I never got a chance to wear it.
Good thing I never donated to Goodwill and kept it. This dress echoes one of
the most popular looks of the season- the Alexander Wang Tulle and
embroidered dress! I paired them with F21 fringe open toe booties, which Gisela and I are proud to both own. I love the dress I am just not sure about the pearls, I feel like they don't make the dress look up-to date. Should I remove the pearls or leave it as is?

    Hi Maury sweetie, how are you doing? blogging talking is the best isn't it? :)
    I think the dress looks really unique with the pearl details and I think you should keep the original. I think you just look so hawt!!!!! Hope you and Gisela having a wonderful weekend.

    The dress is fabulous! But personally I´d remove the perals, just because I like a cleaner look, but I´m not bothered by them :)
    The dress is fab what ever you decide :)

    Keep the pearls! This dress is so stunning, it does remind one of the A Wang dress but yet it is so different and unique!

    How incredibly lucky - what an awesome hand-me-down! I'd definitely keep the pearls, they add that extra panache.

    its a hot dress! leave the pearls, they make the dress more unique, plus if you removed them wouldn't there be a load of snags in the fabric?

    i know that wang dress has been up and down and all around but that really is a great dress. it's something id imagine kate moss would wear if she was 10 yrs younger today.
    maybe remove the little pearls but with shoulders becoming a prominent feature in fashion right now, keep the design on the shoulders.
