The last item of velvet clothing that I donned in public was probably the red velvet Christmas dress I wore in the 2nd grade. Velvet seems like the perfect Victorian-Goes-Goth fabric, and knowing my penchant for such things, I'm not sure why I've shied away from it all these years. I believe I need to make some amends! Topshop has a crazy-amazing selection of velvet goodies right now. Just in time for a Christmas party, naturally!
