Through the genius innovation of one lovely little Suze at Miss Vinyl Ahoy, came her brainchild:
THE PAPER DOLL PROJECT
Every blogger who wanted to participate was randomly paired with another blogger, and we styled one another. My lovely partner was Claire from A Monkey Fatshionisha.
I chose this black dress to be styled. Claire loved my striped cardigan, so she styled it and the dress with the rest of the accessories.
If you want to see how I styled Claire for the day, watch for her post on her blog.
I love the vintage vibe from these heels. I think it's the black and white and the heel shape that
drew me to them. They are from Payless a million years ago!
And you can't see my belt because it blends in, but I like to belt the dress, always.
dress: ROSS
cardigan: LB
belt (it's black patent leather snakeskin): Dots
shoes: payless
shades: betsey johnson
lipstick: revlon, orange flip
necklace: from a vendor at a crafts fair
The wind was playing games with me.
Seriously, wind, you have a great sense of humor.

Lovely outfit, What's on the collar of the dress? I really like it! The cardigan and accessories were a good choices they give the outfit a SPRING vibe.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Claire, this project it so much fun!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulously stylish outfit if I do say so myself!! Haha! Looks fab and I love the fact its warm enough for NO TIGHTS!
ReplyDeleteMine'll be up soon... promise!
I like the vintage vibe of the whole outfit. It has a flapper meets modern-day casual look that's really appealing. The shoes are killer. I used to have the same pair from Payless. No clue where they went. Probably lost on one of the millions of moves over the past few years.
ReplyDeleteYay, another paperdolL! Love how you chose the black dress for your doll as the starting point! It's fun to see how these accessories add so much personality!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your comment on my post about rule breaking. I chuckled when I read your line about The Rules sounding like they came from a 1950s home ec book! Priceless... and true!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS. you always look so GLAM. i think it might be the shades? or just your general je ne sais quoi. (maybe it's the second one :) )
ReplyDelete@fashion.makeup.lifestyle: thanks, that means a lot! :)
ReplyDelete@ashley j: i am so glad you're here :)
@elle: THANKS LADY! I think it's because I am a diva somewhere deep down. I channel it whilst picture taking. Tyra would be proud.
I like the way she styled the dress my favorite part is that necklace. I am going to hop over and see how you did my dear. I bet it's AWESOME!
