Today's outfit. Blah blah subversion blah blah breaking up patterns blah blah color scheme....yeah.
The skirt is a sweater Belle gave me. I tied it around my waist and tucked the sleeves into themselves so it looked like I had pockets and it created a funky triangular shape. Yeah, I said funky. What, I'm not groovy enough?
The lace jacket has a neat story though. Yeah, I said neat. What, I'm not swell enough?
It's from Devery, and came with a plain ivory dress. She said she'd seen it on eBay a few years ago and the seller had worn it to her Vegas wedding. She thought the story was so funny she told a coworker who then bought it and gave it to her to ask her out. Quite a chain, eh? The history of lace dresses and Vegas weddings is what we should be learning in social studies, really.
I might tie a bunch of little ribbons in all the holes in the jacket. I'm thinking red. Or black. Or both! You?
thrifted pullover. gifted jacket and sweater. pamela mann tights, mytights.com. slow & steady wins the race shoes.

hey now, i use swell and neat and groovy and funky in everyday conversation! haha.
i would absolutely love to have a lace jacket with a history like that. or i would at least like to know the history behind my clothes. so many of them are random (yet amazing) thrift store finds.
Speaking of Vegas weddings, I knew someone who was married there by an Elvis impersonator minister:)
love the sweater/skirt.
btw, can i please have those rodarte tights from the last post?
The pullover looks neat and the -sweater made into skirt- skirt is wicked.

I'm also loving the triangulity of that "skirt". I've always wanted to try wearing a sweater as a skirt, I'm going to have to get on that after seeing this sweet oufit. I love the stripes and floral sweatshirt, heaven!
<3<3<3
Love the outfit<3<3 oh, and black ribbons would look great on that jacket!!
Great styling, Tavi!
I never would have thought that your skirt was a actually a sweater!
i love this so much. i love how you would never expect to wear someone to wear all of these together but when you do, it works out so darn well. seriously, that lace jacket is incredible. call me crazy, but i think it would be sort of cool if you could get not ribbon but flowers in there...
