Fashion Crush: Claire Underwood

Image from http://insideclairescloset.tumblr.com.

Ever since I started watching House Of Cards I have been totally obsessed with Claire Underwood's style. So imagine my surprise when I saw Claire walking down the television aisle in a dress just like my Xtabay Original courthouse wedding dress! I immediately starting screaming and grabbed my iPhone to take a picture of the screen. Granted Claire's dress is in a different fabric, has a slit, slightly larger buttons and Robin Wright's incredible figure in it,  it is essentially the same dress. I don't know who made it or how it happened but it was pretty exciting. 

Claire's vow renewal dress is available in our Etsy shop. 

This set can be purchased here in our Etsy shop.

Speaking of Claire dresses….this Xtabay Original design also has the classic but sexy style that she tends to gravitate towards. Worn with it's matching jacket it is perfect for the office but without transitions perfectly into a sexy LBD for evening. We offer this dress in both black and white, in white it also makes a killer little courthouse wedding or reception dress. 

Now I don't know if Claire would ever rock vintage heels and a straw clutch but I think this ensemble is pretty adorable. The heels are also about 1/16 the price of her Louboutins!
