The feathered bottom is timeless yet still wearable, something that is hard to nail when dealing with feather details. Mastermind Dani Tado had the dress created in black, making it a sleek, classic look. When paired with the most adorable lace socks with a satin ribbon around the ankle and black patent heels, this look was so versatile and sophisticated.  This next … Read more!
