A Road Less Traveled

Hi! *^_^* I just wanted to show you guys one way to style this vintage plaid pinafore fomrom my Etsy shop. It's actually a lot like overalls when you take into account the three-button closures at each side of the dress. So, that just makes it even more unique (at least to me, anyways hehe). The pinafore has two length adjustments. Here, I have it on the longest adjustment and it hits me at about mid-thigh. I'm 5'9" for reference! It also has two large and roomy front pockets, one of which I filled with a flower. :P

I think the pinafore is really easy to wear. ^_^ For this outfit, I did a comfortable mix of neutral colors and textures. The thrifted lace top and pearl necklace lent some additional vintage charm. I was going for something in-between dressy and casual, so the over-sized, slouchy cardigan helped to dilute the potential formality of the outfit. The dress is a subtle mix of green, black and white. It is 100% cotton; the material is sturdy and it has a nice overall weight (i.e. not too light/flimsy and not too heavy/bulky).

I'm happy to answer any questions about measurements and fit. You can leave a comment for me here or message me on Etsy. If you live outside the United States, contact me for an international shipping quote! I've sent packages to Canada, Finland and Denmark, just to name a few destinations. *^_^*

Thanks and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

So, I ended up wearing this outfit to the grocery store. Haha. Sure, I could have put on jeans and a t-shirt, but I like to dress up. *shrug* ^_^ I feel like I've been waiting forever to wear this plaid high low skirt and I'll be damned if I sit around waiting for the "right occasion" to do so.  The right occasion is whenever I say it is. So, there. Hehe. We had a lot of errands to run, so I wanted to wear something nice, but also comfortable. The skirt worked out well with its light fabric and eye catching patterns.

The skirt has a very rustic feel to it and this inspired me to create an earthy Fall ensemble with a bit of a Wild West flair. So, I added a thrifted herringbone wool blazer and dark chocolaty lace up boots.

Picture

I liked the way this handmade necklace peeked through my blazer when I had it completely buttoned, so I added it to the mix. I thrifted it many years ago when I visited Toronto and I just loved that the artist refashioned everyday refuse into something so beautiful. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the logo on the beer cap, it's from Alexander Keith's which is brewed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. ^_^

Picture

You know how I like to add hidden surprises in my outfits, so this bit should be expected. :D I think this deep navy tank top paired well with the textured almond blazer. I didn't want to take away from the beautiful skirt by wearing something with a pattern on top. So, the understated look of it from the front was perfect. However, as soon as I take off my blazer, you see a bit of wow factor in the back as it is completely sheer with floral patterns throughout. You can sort of see my bra there, but whatevs. Heh.

So, there you have it.  I hope you like how I put this outfit together. *^_^* I loved wearing it! <3
