The Sacred & Profound

Hey! Happy Tuesday! :DDD This will be a very quick post, since I'm only wearing a couple new things. I just wanted to show off this beautiful vintage surrealist print maxi dress. The artwork on the dress is a rad mixture of butterflies, florals and architecture from the Arc de Triomphe to the Brooklyn Bridge.
The mustard duster cardigan is something I picked up from Koshka in the Fall of 2013. Oddly enough, this is my first time wearing it since I got it. I had it tucked away in a plastic garment bag since the open weaving is incredibly delicate and it will snag on pretty much anything with which it comes into contact.

That being said, it feels like a dream when I wear it. It's super soft and I've always wanted an extra long cardigan in this color. Hopefully, I can convince myself to wear it more. It's just that its delicate knitting and the fact that it was rather expensive means I will want to wear it sparingly and carefully. Hehe.

Picture

Throughout the dress is a sort of old rusted metal texturing that gives the surreal scene a palpable retro flavor. The collar is more of a rectangular shape and the sleeves come just under the elbow on me. For ease of movement, there is a 20 inch long vent at the lower left side of the dress. All of these unique characteristics make the dress one-of-a-kind. I'm always looking for clothing that are limited or rare in nature, because I love knowing that I'll likely never run into anyone wearing the exact same thing.

The rad fringe bag is from Chicnova. I've had it for awhile now and I wear it sparingly. I usually save it for outfits that need an extra edge. Also, you'll probably notice a sliver of dark fabric at my neckline. That's just a protective garment that I wore to maintain the like-new integrity of the dress.

The surrealist print maxi dress is one of the more popular items for sale in my Etsy shop. Check out the product listing for more details about measurements, quality and fit! ^_^ I hope you liked this very simple pairing. I would have preferred to add another layer or two, but then you wouldn't have been able to really see the whole dress which would have been a shame, because it is just gorgeous! <3

Oh, hey! :D Here's an outfit I threw together for a day of shopping (not fun shopping, mind you, just boring errands haha). I felt like wearing something eclectic and fun. Plus, the weather was really nice for a change. It was dry and sunny; and although there was a chill wind, it was still better than the overcast rainy weather we were having last week. That being said, I slightly regretted wearing the sheer skirt since the cold wind went straight through it haha. The cat ear hat came in handy, too. ^_^

This vintage floral blazer is one of my favorite thrift finds from last year. Every time I wear it, I feel so lucky to have been in the right place at the right time to snag it.
I've worn it so many different ways, as it seems to go with just about everything I have, which is surprising since the print is really colorful and crazy. Click here to see the futuristic style I created with the blazer in early December of last year.
This is definitely one of my more eclectic styles. It's pretty out there! Haha. I did a subtle mix of florals with the blazer and sheer maxi skirt. I also used both garments to combine textures (which you can see better in the previous closeup photo). I added the retro flip glasses to give the outfit more of an edge. For some reason, I find that I look particularly devilish whenever I smile while wearing them. Haha.

Here are some closer views of my cobalt blue bag and my sheer maxi skirt. I felt like the bag added a wonderful splash of color and I think the spikes on it are pretty rad. :D
I thought about wearing sheer tights underneath the skirt, but I decided to let some skin show through to accentuate its floral print.

Picture

This cheeky Threadless tee is one of my favorites. I'm pretty sure the text on the shirt was on an actual flyer before it became an internet meme. You can really feel the person's anger! It's kind of sad, but it's also pretty funny, too. Haha. At any rate, I hope that bike thief got what was coming to him/her!

Picture

Who knows? Maybe I scared some people with this outfit, maybe not. It's certainly different, but it has me written all over it, so it can't be all that bad, right? Riiiiiiight? Haha ^_^ Have an awesome day! <3
