I love skulls. At one point or another, I've owned a skull t-shirt, skull earrings, several skull necklaces, and now - a skull dress.

iPhone. I know. I'm the worst. |
I picked up this dress at
Winners' last week - which was an event in and of itself - I
never buy things at Winners'. I'm the
worst at rifling through racks of clothing. I'm totally a scanner when I shop - I need to see the item out on display to buy it. I won't sort through piles (or racks of clothing). As luck would have it - this dress was on the front of a rack right by the entrance. I love how the cut and colour are elegant and feminine but the skulls toughen it up. I think it almost looks like a floral pattern at first glance.

Awkward pose FTW - Fashion Blogger, I am not. |
I wore it to work last week, but as spring has only just started to arrive in Hali, I paired it with tights, boots, and a chambray shirt. I'm so excited for summertime, when I can wear this beauty all on its own!

Looking 'artfully' into the distance - or you know, at the neighbour's garbage can.
Classic blogger pose. |
Another skull sartorial selection long on my covet list is the Alexander McQueen skull scarf, made famous by every PYT in Hollywood. Although it was once a trend, I think it's totally a classic now. (Or, maaaaaybe that's just me)

From here. I have no interest in that tacky pink one but the cream scarf slays me. |
Another awesome skull scarf are these hand-painted silk versions by
Crrysstall on
Etsy:
Here are a few of my favourite skull looks:

Skull loafers! (Click on the link to see them up close). |
On a related note - although I'm not much for skull print in interiors, every time I'm at the liquor store, I'm tempted to buy the miniature bottle of
Crystal Head vodka - just because I want to use the little bottle as a bud vase! (I don't even
like vodka.)
Maybe I was a pirate in a former life.
What a cool dress! I love how you paired it with the denim top. :)
