extra mustard








(Rodarte for Target dress, gifted Herve Leger platform sandals)

I don't usually gravitate towards mustard yellow in it's purest form but between the frothy tulle and lingerie-inspired detailing of this dress, that became irrelevant. Thank you Rodarte for bringing the darkly beautiful to the masses. I paired it with these deathly good strapped chain sandals that I got at the BCBG showroom in New York back in September, my candy of choice, and some creepy poses in my living room.

I also love the fourth photo. That dress is beautiful on you. ...Also, are your arms hyperextended? It appears so. I only mention it because mine are too.

I love that mustard dress on you. Only a few people can carry it off well and you're one of those chosen few.

wow. third and fourth photos are insanity. So cool. Nice job team C+R, seriously. I also got that dress in black and in mustard.... I loved the nude but it was way too see through :( I swear the Rodarte for Target collection has single-handedly changed my mind about me wearing mustard yellow. Just posted the mustard leopard dress a few days ago :)

RUMI this is so perfect. to be honest, i was getting just a tad bit bored with some of your outfit posts, but this post just reminded me of why ive loved your blog since the beginning...and you're completely right that you're only human and tend to gravitate towards similar items. everyone does it! and we just need to remember that.

oh and the poses and facial expressions are <3

Tea with Edith said...

Such a fantastic dress. The colour (got this new penchant for different shades of yellow), the tulle, the cut-like it, like it a lot.

Leia said...

Rumi, these are my absolute favorite pictures of you! I'm more of a girly girl than rock chick like you :) so I loved the tulle dress. Alas, we don't have a target in London so no Rodarte for me... but the dress is gorgeous. And the pictures are so artistic as well. Really great :)

I'm sorry, but these photos are just bad. Not you or the dress in them, but the photos. The lighting and the surroundings could have been picked better, to give the pictures some oomph or a more interesting vibe. It wouldn't matter but I thought your bf was an aspiring photographer.

Alice D. Millionaire said...

I'm so glad someone can wear this and it look so wonderful! i tried it on in nude and black (we didn't get this GLORIOUS mustard) and it was borderline indecent. so i went with the completely transparent tulle blouse. talk about indecent! :)
either way, you look great.
