I've worn this outfit, with variations, three or four times this summer but haven't photographed it before now (no reason - i just didn't). It's fun and breezy and i love the shape it makes - kind of a 1920's vibe, maybe.
it's even more fun with a heel and stockings. But i spent most of the day in bed, letting my leg rest up, so these flats and socks were a better choice. I was ticked at having to 'take the day off' so i wore something fun in compensation. The weather is turning around in these parts, and i get the feeling this type of get-up will only be practical a little while longer.......
Petticoat: own design, inspired by Alisa Burke
Shoes: old Borns
Belt: Betsey Johnson
Ribbon Pin: own design
Hat: gift
Socks: gift (my friend said she thought they were perfect 'reading socks' - you would wear them for lounging around the house and reading on a cool night. it's a new one on me!)
I love how you've pinned up the dress to show off that gorgeous petticoat - such a fantastic detail! That petticoat is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI like how you hitched up your hem with that pin - shows off your sweet petticoats!
ReplyDeletethank you orchids! it's funny, i made that petticoat more on a whim - i saw alisa burke's tut, which looked fantastic, and i had enough scraps on hand to make it up.......but i never thought i would wear it as much as i have.
