Mourning Glory

Somehow, I managed to take a rather simple, feminine and innocuous romper and make it seem like the most fitting piece in a rather terrifying puzzle. o_O Hehe. This vintage floral romper is currently up for grabs in my Etsy shop and it's a real gem. <3 I have to admit that it doesn't have much "rack appeal." I think most people would probably pass this up at a store. Even on my mannequin, it doesn't really seem to have much panache. However, the same could be said for so many things in my closet.

You can turn any unassuming garment into something striking and worthy of admiration with just a little bit of imagination! It's that challenge that makes me so excited about fashion. I like to push myself to see what I can do. With this romper, it didn't really take much to transform it into something formidably edgy and borderline intimidating. Hehe. ;) Instead of casual flip flops, I opted for sexy sheer tights and sleek glossy ankle booties. Rather than wear a demure cardigan and cute sunglasses, I traded those in for a dramatic double breasted black coat and steampunk retro specs, then I finished with the fedora.

Ultimately, I ended up with something quite simple, but chic and edgy. It really didn't take much effort at all! Just a little forward thinking (and a whole lot of attitude hehe). I hope that this post helps to demonstrate just how easy it is to dress this romper up or down. There are endless possibilities! :D

I'll see you next time! <3

Yay! It's warm, again! :DDD Actually, it's supposed to be warm and sunny for at least another week. Huzzah! Last weekend also marked the beginning of the weekly farmer's market downtown. ^_^ This outfit is something that I would totally wear to the farmer's market or on a cozy picnic. A wicker basket would have went with it quite nicely. Hehe. Unfortunately, I wore a different outfit to the farmer's market, because I didn't want to sully the vintage hand knit floral top from my Etsy shop. <3 I figured it would be nice to show off one way of styling it for Spring. The loose knit style is perfect. It really lets you feel the cool breeze, but you definitely need to wear a little something underneath to keep it modest. :P

The fabric is a good quality mix of ramie and cotton and there are delicate floral details around the neckline and all around the hem. You can see better details here. I think the top would look really cute with a pair of dark denim high waisted jeans, a pinafore or a suspender skirt. It's quite versatile. ^_^

It's been a crazy long time since I last wore this blue floral skirt. Click here to see how I styled it for Summer by layering it over a dress. I look super young in those photos, don't I? Haha. Holy Zeus. O_o Anyway, it may be a little hard to tell, but the skirt has two slouchy front pockets and functional buttons made from the same floral fabric. <3 To finish off the rustic, vintage look I was going for, I added an understated, neutral colored pair of wingtip tassel loafers. Yep! I really liked wearing this outfit. :D

As much as I love this vintage floral top, I would really like to see it go to a good home. Measurements and other details are included in my Etsy listing. Contact me with questions! Oh and I'm having a storewide sale, right now! So, feel free to stop on by and see what else I have to offer. Thanks! *^_^*
