Mildly outlandish, anyway. For me. I'm wearing gold lipstick, anyway. See, I woke up this morning with cramps, a world-class backache, and a craving for chocolates. The last thing I wanted to do was get properly dressed and walk outside to take pictures! I knew I'd be more productive today if I put on real clothes, but the entire concept of wearing a belt (or anything that fastens around one's waist) seemed inhumane and unreasonable.
I ended up opting for a summer sundress, plus enough layers to get me through the day... but really, the outfit is an excuse to showcase the shoes! If you're following me on Instagram, you might have seen that I be-glittered the soles yesterday, and I'm really quite excited about how they turned out!
Hair scarf: Grandma
White knit sweater: Forever21
Blue sundress: Made by me, Butterick 7139
Bangles: Various thrift stores
Bright minty blue tights: Target ($5, and darn well worth it!)
Mrs. Lower Pumps: by Irregular Choice! More to come on these and their glitter treatment soon.
I love hoe fun and bubbly your style is! And those tights look marvelous! I think if I had seen them in the store I would never have bought them! Thinking them more in vein with hipster bright color combos instead of a fun fifties inspired look.
ReplyDeleteAnd the shoes are just awesome!

Aww, thank you so much! I've always liked bright accessories, so I tend to pick up colorful tights and try to incorporate them when I can. I like matching them to prints in a summer dress or wearing them with similarly-colored gloves and hats.
DeleteOne would never have suspected you weren't feeling up to snuff, dear Frances (I can completely understand, I get cripplingly bad cramps every month), you look so splendidly sweet and pretty. It's good to have days when we dress outside of our usual fashion realm and experiment for the sake of it, isn't it?

Haha, thank you! I had to pick photos where I wasn't glaring at my photographer... Sometimes, I think I dress the most eccentrically when I'm feeling terrible, just to distract people from my grumpy mood!
DeleteI think that's one of your winning outfits! You definitely rock that color scheme. I've been wanting to try bolder colored tights for a while and you've inspired me to go try to find some :)
