Wearing: Pastiche

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Sometimes a girl just needs to feel like a girl, ya know?
This outfit totally did that for me.

Pastels? Check.
Vintage handbag? Check.
Skinny Belt? Check
Embellished Tee? Check

Even though I only wore this a couple hours, it was just what I needed after two days of non-stop foot-to-the-sewing-machine-pedal. Plus, the needle went all the way through my finger today...pulled out a nice, little chunk of skin...Argh!!!
The sacrifices I make for pretty things.

(J.Crew pastiche pencil skirt, skinny patent belt, tee, and ruffle cardi, Vintage bag, Steve Madden booties)

  3. Oh my goodness. As a brand new seamstress (dare I call myself that???) your story terrifies me!!!

    But your outfit on the other hand. Gorgeous and girly. I love it.

    Leaving the House in THIS?!?!

  6. Ouch -- your poor fingers! This looks is so stellar. You took what could be a very spring-like skirt and styled it so amazingly for the fall. AND, you proved that boots and pencil skirts can be worn together. I've tried the look a few times, but ended up feeling frumpy. I think the trick is to make sure pencil skirt hits at the right place -- which you've done perfectly!
