Artist Charmaine Olivia‘s gorgeous outfit at the opening of her show, Ritual, on January 14th, is an awesome real-life example of a simple but effective look. The black, full-length dress with cutouts in back is from Paprika via ASOS; the look is accented with sterling silver jewelry, including the “Seance” bracelet cuff from Blood Milk, and sets off her tattoos beautifully.
