Versace was always a little too much for me—too bright, too tight, too sex-bomb. But when a girl I know pulled this dress out of her filing cabinet (a fashion magic trick) and offered it to me, how could I refuse?
Let me introduce you to the newest Awesome Thing in my Closet: quintessential ’90s Versace in the form of a printed zip-front minidress. It’s made of weirdly thick fabric, and is quite warm, which I did not expect. It also rides up—but just enough to scandalize, never to humiliate. (From what I have seen of this brand, this may be part of the design.) The yellow-gold bauble that hangs off the zipper could, if I turned my head fast enough, give me a concussion.
It also looks awesome with combat boots and makes an excellent outfit for my part-time video store job.
Which is just as Gianni intended, I’m sure.

This. Is. Amazing.
SO AMAZING
Wish I could see more of it, especially with the combat boots. It looks awesome in my head though.
Exactly what Donatella wore back when she served slushes at 7/11
so amazing. the title!!!
Best thing ever. The outfit is in the person and how they wear it, not in how designers think it should be worn.
What a hot lady.
