Of Plaid & Asymmetry (Barely There Challenge!) - Part 7/9

6/21/2014

Today's minimalist style is colorful with an edge. I simply wore a light wash denim zipper vest over a high waisted plaid maxi skirt. To avoid wearing a hat (and to avoid pulling my hair back with a boring clip), I did a hair style that consists of uneven, overlapping parts with a series of twisted pieces mixed in. It has a patchwork look to it from all angles, but the twist braids can only be seen from the back.

It was love at first sight with this vest. I've always wanted a denim zipper vest and I was lucky enough to receive it from my clothing swap group. ^_^ I like that there are several different ways to wear it and you can see two very easy options in these first two photos.
I think the light wash denim paired nicely with the red plaid maxi skirt. The sleeveless lace top underneath was necessary for modesty. :P

Picture

I should probably mention where I was going the day these photos were taken. Hehe. My partner and I live just a few blocks from a watering hole. It was such a nice day that we decided to walk there and have drinks on their outdoor patio.
 I had a very tasty mint julep. ^_^ The bright color and commanding patterns combined with the fact that the skirt is comfy and really easy to walk in made it a good choice.

I finished the outfit with my bright yellow Cambridge satchel, just to give it an extra punch of color.
It's a wonderful bag and it has held up so well despite my constant abuse. Haha. I'm obsessed with these bags. I still can't believe it was only $64. I wish I had gotten other colors before the prices went back up!

Aquamarine (Barely There Challenge!) - Part 6/9

Ahhh! I feel so naked! >_< Haha. I hardly ever wear just a dress. I'm proud of myself for doing such a thing repeatedly over the last couple of weeks. It would not happen this often, but for the challenge!

Picture

So, I actually have this teal eyelet dress up for sale in my Storenvy shop. It's just a little snug in the chest area for me and I wasn't sure if that would end up bothering me in the long run. I'm still a bit on the fence about letting the dress go, because the design is so great. There's so much going on with the delicate, subtle print; the cross back; the finely stitched florals at the bust; and the soft velvet trim around the waist. I've been meaning to do some research to find out whether the dress is vintage. I can't shake the feeling that it might be. It's just so incredibly unique. I may transfer it to my Etsy shop.

Picture

I'm also wearing my new orange bag! Squee! Haha :DDD I was lucky enough to receive it through my clothing swap group. I'm not all that thrilled about the overall design, but I am super stoked about the bright, almost neon orange color. I really need more bright colored bags and I figured I could do some interesting things with this one. The fact that I can remove the long strap is an added bonus. :P

Here you can see the contrasting criss-cross straps and eyelet print in better detail. The dress really is fantastic. ^_^ I apologize for ruining the view with my dragon tattoo. Haha. If you're into tattoos or if you're just curious about what the whole thing looks like, click here. I actually really like it and I get compliments on it all the time, but as you've probably noticed, I usually keep it covered up. I don't really do this on purpose. I just tend to forget that it's there. >_< Haha. Maybe I should try to show it off more?

Picture

The stitching of the florals at the front is so cute! I love the soft, tiny fringe balls lining the velvet "belt" around the waist. I'm a sucker for small details and this dress has so many little treasures. ^_^

Thank you for your kindness, as always! *^_^* I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! <3
