Happy Halloween! I apologize, because this is not really a Halloween post per say. I meant to put this outfit up last night but of course time escaped me. I'll try to post something more ghostly themed this evening.
I was inspired by one of my favorite bloggers the clothes horse to purchase some colorful stockings. She has a knack for pairing very vintage pretty dresses with more whimsical colored tights. In an attempt to emulate her I bought one pair of turquoise and one pair of yellow tights. (I got them at 5 below for $3 a piece!) I centered this outfit around the turquoise pair. I really like the result, it made the whole outfit a lot more interesting then it would have been with plain black tights.
As a side note- I got this skirt at a thrift store for about $5. However it was too long, and a little too wide. I safety pinned the back and cut about four inches from the bottom to make it fit as a high waisted skirt. This is my first successful attempt at altering clothing got myself, and I am very proud that it didn't end up looking like a rag.
Outfit details: white shirt-heritage, over shirt-H&M, skirt- thrifted & altered, tights- 5 below, shoes- doc martensAnd I can't decide whether I like the blue shirt better tucked in or not. Any input?
Enjoy your Halloween,
Lloyd
Hey there. You're sexy.
ReplyDeleteI think the silhouette of the outfit looks better with the shirt tucked in.
This actually reminds me of when I always wore those crazy magenta tights all the time in the sixth grade and everyone made fun of me :-/

tucked in most def. you're too pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I liked it a lot better tucked in too, but I thought I should try it that way.
ReplyDeleteAnd Tubby- I loved those tights. I was always jealous.
