Beaded Armor

Visiting a picture gallery in a bedroom wearing a vintage beaded dress heavy as armor - protect yourself.

Vintage beaded dress. We Love Colors white tights. Valentino velvet & patent leather booties.
These cream patent leather & pink velvet T-strap booties graced several looks from Valentino fall 2013 runway, a collection inspired by Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. White collars were a common motif of Dutch painters, patrons showcasing wealth by the intricacy of their lace & fine fabrics. Power dressing in the Golden Age.
Dress embellished with beads & pearls like stars & the moon. Encrusted collar & bracelet cuffs like built-in jewelry.
