Beyonce’s Proenza Schouler black yellow floral skirt dress

PROENZA SCHOULER Floral Skirt Dress

We all know that Beyonce is the queen of the universe. She doesn’t ever let us forget it. Far from that she writes songs calling us b**ches and telling us to bow down at her feet. I haven’t actually heard the song so excuse me if I’ve misunderstood the few lyrics I came across in an article the other day. I got the impression from those lyrics that Beyonce has a new song out in which she basically demands worship; but I want to believe I’m wrong because the article was about Michelle Obama and her daughters and how they were at a Beyonce concert; and in a photograph presumably taken at the concert Michelle Obama could be seen smiling as if having a thrilling time; but I can’t imagine she would find it thrilling to be listening to Beyonce singing a song with the lyrics bow down b**ches while she’s in attendance at Beyonce’s concert with her young daughters; but hey I’m probably over-thinking and over analyzing; and this is just supposed to be an outfit idea post.

Beyonce was seen back in June wearing a Proenza Schouler Floral Skirt Dress with a black hat from Topshop a Bamboo Shopper Jaguar Print Tote from Gucci and flat thong-style summer sandals.

Beyonce’s outfit was interesting. It worked for her; but I figured if I were going to step out wearing the same Proenza Schouler Floral Skirt Dress I would wear black flats and carry a black bag instead of the animal print bag and the print thong sandals.

So I’ve created my own outfit based on the Proenza Schouler Floral Skirt Dress that Beyonce was photographed wearing on June 22nd 2013.

First the dress:

Proenza Schouler black yellow green floral skirt tank dress

As described it’s a skirt tank dress. It looks like you’re wearing a black tank top and a yellow wrap skirt with green and white floral print; but it’s really a dress designed to look like a skirt and a tank top.

The dress was on sale at boutique1.com but appears to be sold out presently. Needless to say I wouldn’t have been able to afford the dress at full price ($1″ 771) or even at the sale price of $531.

The shoes are black imitation suede loafers from H&M. They are $31. You could buy 57 pairs of them for the price of the Proenza Schouler skirt tank dress. 57 pairs of these loafers would cost you $1,767.

The bag is a $300 Gucci Coated Fabric Shoulder Bag. Coated fabric means just that. It looks like a leather bag from the picture right? And for $300 you figure it would have to be leather” but it’s not leather. It’s coated fabric.

You could purchase about 5 of these bags for the price of the Proenza Schouler black yellow floral skirt dress. You could purchase about 9 of the black imitation suede loafers for the price of this bag.

I found an interesting review of this bag on the DSW website where the bag is sold. The Washington D.C. based customer gave the bag a 1 star out of 5 stars rating and said:

I got this model in the patent style and got very dissappointed. the bag just looks very cheap not like Gucci at all. without a Gucci logo I would not even consider it for purchase. I did not realize when ordering that it was not a leather bag. it would not be a big problem if this was a leather-like material as showed in the picture but it was not even close. too expensive for this kind of bag. successfully returned to the DSW store nearby.

The Ann Demeulemeester Women’s Lievre Hat is almost as expensive as the dress. It has a $1″ 075 price tag. Don’t know if I would ever spend $1,075 on a hat unless that hat was trimmed in 24 karat gold with diamond accents; and even then I don’t think I would but it. I can’t see justification for a hat costing so much money.

This particular hat is described thusly:

Crafted from soft felted wool. High round crown with a slightly curved top. Narrow rim with a double layered felted trim. Inner crown is lined with elasticated ribbon. The words ‘Ann Demeulemeester’ are stitched onto this inner ribbon….

Finally a pair of Oscar de la Renta Rounded Sunglasses for $733.

I went with green-rimmed sunglasses to offset the black a bit. I figured green would be a good choice. The skirt part of the dress has green.
