Week 2 is in the books! Here's what I wore this week (not actually in order, so I'll try to remember the prompt and add outfit details below in case you're interested):
Vintage elegance! The girls aren't on theme but they were so cute dressed up for Mass that obviously we needed a picture.
Top: Vintage via my friend Lisa's shop on Etsy
Skirt: old from eShakti
Hat: Amazon (has held up really well over the years!)
Cecilia's dress: Amazon (I love this brand and style, they are nice and long and really well-constructed)
Favorite character: I was going for emulating the style on the cover of this book (which is wonderful and you need to read it!) but I removed the apron and the shirt after I took the picture because it was too hot!
Style a dress as a skirt: this is an old favorite maxi dress that I knotted a t-shirt over. Super simple!
Out of your comfort zone... I have never owned a nursing dress but this one was on sale and I was already ordering the skirt below and wanted free shipping... Super comfy, easy to nurse in, but I still think nursing dresses look weird!
T-shirt style: This is basically my everyday uniform, a basic t-shirt (I usually stock up from ThredUp when my others wear out) and an a-line skirt. I just got this one because evidently I couldn't resist a targeted ad, but I do try to mostly shop secondhand/ethical shops though I don't always manage 100%.
I think this was "Throwback Style"? All I can remember is that it was REALLY HOT and my Pyne & Smith dresses are the very coolest things I own. They are PRICEY new, but I have managed to find a couple secondhand, and purchased another when it went on major sale, so I'd say for the price I paid and the amount I wear them, it's been worth the investment.
Last, One Dress, Two Ways: All I really did was belt this dress... But it's magical and works all the way through pregnancy AND makes me look normal-ish post partum, which is basically a unicorn dress in my eyes!
Have you been trying to follow along with the prompts? Want to join in for the second half of the month? I would love to hear how it's going for you!
Sorry I wasn't able to participate via Instagram (too many people from various groups followed me once I went public), but it is fun to see your pictures!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand!
DeleteLove the blouse, Rosie!! And I'm DYING over that plaid skirt. The colors, buttons, and tie- so summery and cute! It's been so fun to see all different ways people are styling the prompts.:)
ReplyDeleteAnd it has nice big pockets! Such an amazing skirt 😍
DeleteIt was an unseasonably cool day! Didn't even get up to 70 degrees, so it felt frigid to them after temperatures in the 90s :)
