I know this amazing sequined, velvet, strong-shouldered, asymmetrical 80s-esque masterpiece of a dress is not seasonal (unless you are one of my lovely readers from the Southern Hemisphere), but I want to share it today because if you love the designs of Carmakoma but can’t the prices, now is the time to shop. Their 60%+ off sales for past season clothes makes splurging on a statement dress like this “Antartica” style much easier to justify.

If this is too extravagant for your taste, check out their stunning luxe basics and modern take on prints, all included in the sale.  Bonus: Right now they are running their mid-season sale as well, so you can snag select Spring Summer 2015 pieces for 30-50% off.  This is not a sponsored post: Carmakoma is just a brand I really love, and I want to share this goodness with you.

If you just want to wear this dress once, sign up for Gwynnie Bee to rent it like I did.  This one is a once in a while dress for me so it will not be part of my Carmakoma sale purchase, but it was a super fun piece to wear as part of my subscription to GB.  Right now you can get your first month of Gwynnie Bee free using this link.

The dress is clearly the star of this look, but in case you are curious, my cobalt shoes are Cole Haan, and my tights are my trusty brand Hue.
