Fall witch vibes are in full effect. There is something very delightful about biking to school in a long dark skirt and various cosmic layers. I wore this outfit in particular on opening night for the school play I was in, though I'd like to start being less lazy and not need a special event to wear giant gold Abba platforms.
I built the outfit around the shoes and socks (paired because we listened to Abba in the dressing room) (and by "dressing room" I mean nasty school basement with cockroaches) and the Risto Bimbiloski space skirt just kinda had to be matched with the ridiculousness of the Abba situation, but to make it moodier/earthier and less cheesy I added the flannel dress that used to be my mom's and this vintage feather hairpiece. Then I just wanted weird brooches and jewelry that an old lady who lives on the side of the road or in an almost-fallen apart house might collect.
From left: Gara Danielle ring (FTC disclosure: sent to me by the brand), Zak Kitnick brooch from Two Bridges Trading, thrifted sun brooch, flower brooch used to be my grandma's, and Neivz ring.
This bracelet is Ann Taylor Loft -- weird, right? They've been getting less "Modern Mom!" lately. And the bottom is a closeup of the Risto skirt (FTC disclosure: sent to me by Risto.)
I found these socks in our basement and Beso.com asked if I'd review these shoes in exchange for Abba vibes forever.
Brand: D&G
Pros: Look stellar with socks; fulfill my 70's and Lady Miss Kier needs. My feet are surprisingly comfy in them.
Cons: My feet are unsurprisingly uncomfy once I take them off. They also wear pretty easily -- I've worn them twice and scuffing has already gotten the better of parts of the now-dented wood and now-brown straps. If these were delicate glass slippers I would blame myself for clunking around, but you're supposed to be able to dance in these kinds of shoes!
But enough about me and my Abba dancing*! How are you? In other words --

I hesitated in posting that link since this blog is read by about everyone I know from school, as well as my teachers, as well as my parents' friends, as well as everyone I know in real life. But I fully stand by and support 8th grade me's Abba passion. Plus I'm reciting the lyrics to Ciara's "Work" tomorrow for a class talent show and we all know I have no dignity anyways.

the hat is FABULOUS. and i'm seriously loving the cool little witchy brooches and rings. mystical, eccentric, and just plain AWESOME. great post!

First of all .. I MISS 90S COMMERCIALS.
And second, what play were you in?! Detailz, plz.
(P.S. Its Sara Nev on my other account)
Whaddup, Sara! The show is called The Sparrow, it was first produced at the House Theater here in Chicago a few years ago and has done a bit of traveling in these parts since. It's about a girl named Emily Book returning to her hometown for the first time in 10 years since a bus accident killed everyone else in her 2nd grade class. Now a senior, everyone in her town begins to embrace her noncomformity once they learn she has super powers. But, when they think a little more, they realize her powers mean that the bus accident may not have been an accident...DUN DUN DUN.
That was probably way more than you had in mind when you asked but I love and really miss (we closed on Saturday) the show.
Way to go, 8th grade Tavi! :p
What play were you in?? I'm in the middle of the Taming of the Shrew right now, Commedia del Arte version.
Oh that sounds legit! Who did you play?
nice bracelet
Love the look! your a great stylist!

favorite outfit so far.
I cant even find those shoes on Beso.com.
Who makes them? What are they called?
Thats a great outfit! Love all the little things you collect!
x
Where do you get stuff like that?
Get there! I was such a theater nerd in HS. I later realized I didn't really want to be an actor, but I'm glad I did it when I had the chance.
haha... that's an amazing commercial. too bad their beer is gross.
cool broaches you have found, though. don't hide your inner little old lady, she's awesome :P
This IS LOVE! Fall is just the best <3
Great minds think alike about Lady Miss Kier! http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2010/10/foot-fetish-fluevog-mcqueen-ferragamo/
this outfit is wonderful. and I love the D&G shoes!
This outfit is so killer. Love the commercial. WASSUP!
this is brilliant, like everything you do. but i especially love the first two photos.
Finally some cosmic skirts. I feel a trend coming up that hasn't been announced everywhere yet. I love it.
your abba dancing is the best. THE BEST!
awsome commercial, love it" also, just seen the movie ghost world from the 2000's, remided me very much of you and your style! xx
Cosmic GORGEOUSNESS oh gosh. I'd like me some cosmic print.
I am dying to get some gold shoes like yours. I really want to get the Vivienne Westwood pair, the rocking horse sandals with the wings on the side. They're so goddess-like!
Your hair is epic!
my mother has been raving about grey gardens. with your added endorsement i will have to watch it now.
NOICE. The print peaking out of the sea of smoggy plaid is a mucho cool effect+AWESOME $HOES$S
how did you wear the outfit if you're in the play? changed into it after wards?
My word those shoes are fabulous!
Ooooh, I love it!
I love the hat and your brooch collection!
Neivz ring. i like that that sounds like niiice ring in my head only slightly german. also abba forevs.

Just caught got up on those fancy ABBA moves you have. Damn I love ABBA. I think "Lay All Your Love On Me" and "SOS" are my favorites.
I'm glad I kept stuff from grandma (now deceased) wardrobe. I was recently given some of her old hats...the kind with real feathers & fur. I should showcase them on my blog one day...
Lookin' good, Tavi, as usual.

This outfit, the headpiece, your hair and the pose, all kinda remind me of Helena Bonham Carter –perfectly appropriate for the opening night of a theatrical production, me thinks.
Speaking of theatre – I’m currently trying to get my head around “Macbeth”… And I was very excited to discover that the line, “Is this a dagger I see before me…” comes from here.
And in keeping with your witchy vibes, the drawing in “The Play – In Pictures” section, depicts the dagger in a state of levitation!!!
And those ‘giant gold Abba platforms’ – is there really anything better?
It is ALWAYS a good time to wear gold platform Abba shoes. I still regret getting rid of my silver glitter platforms 10 years ago, sob!

AAh.. That Bracelet and your shoes, They're great! omg
love it!

Love how you've styled this outfit with socks and sandals x
PS. I remember this kind of scary-dude character from Seinfeld, once replying to Jerry's "How are you?" with... "Good enough!" :-)
But I'm well, Tavi! Thank you for asking :-)
- I Love Your Socks <3

I think brooches are very good. I just don't get why they are always old fashionable.

Very cool look for Fall. But include the bicycle in the photos next time and be one of the youngest (and perhaps most fashion forward) to join the Cyclechic movement.

love.
i just like the fact that you have all these oppertunities to review collect and have all this merchandise
and you put it to goood use.
i love the way you dont take fashion seriously (hear me out) in a way that allows you to express yourself in a pandemoniom of style thats crafted with power and art. rather than other fashionista's who must have the new this and that to fit there new this and that because they will be wearing this and that soon because this they already did wear that.
id love to love you more

I love how you mix prints, esp this time. that dress is so perfect, I would love a plaid, 50s style day dress like that. also swooning over all the photorealistic and gallactic prints I see these days.
speaking of Abba, have you ever seen Muriel's Wedding? I didn't like Abba until that movie and now like them.
nice accessories esepcailly the rind and kick as platforms

The Abba video is too funny and cute! Have you ever seen the David Bowie music video (or short movie plus music video) for Blue Jean? Your outfit looks similar to his in it's looseness, and at one point just about halfway through you do a dance move with your armssimilar to one of his.
You should check it out if you haven't
oh! Tavi, i think that you are really beuty ^^
and i think that the accesories are really perfect, and oh my god, the shoes are perfect!!!
without any doubt that this outfit are one of the best ^^
and the hat?? ^^i really love it!!!
i would like to invite you to visit my blog, but it is in spanish, but i promised that i´ll write something on english ^^
you really inspired me :) thanks for that!
The video of you dancing to an abba song is, interesting. I lika abba songs.
http://bensstylecorner.blogspot.com/
I'm waiting for you to bust out your Kate Bush/Wuthering Heights witchy look.
PS: Ever seen "Murial's Wedding" ? That flick totally encouraged my ABBA groove :D
ABBA is some amazingly catchy, beautifully arranged stuff! Love that space skirt with the gold platforms. And I'm really jealous of those gold platforms, for the record. At least I can rest easy knowing you wear them well :P

I love your outdoor pictures. They look a bit "Blairwitch Project" like and they are very natural. They also remind me of a great outdoor photo about the teen horror star Neve Campbell.
Your hair is awesome here.
i love this one!!! indeed!!

XOXO
You take the important detail photos. I love your whole take on outfits: inspirations!

Hey
I am more than double your age, but I think you are really cool. I admire that you do things your way and that you take political stand in questions where others keep their mouth shut.
Keep up the good work!
Love how you clustered the pins and your hair looks magnificent!

Love the outfit. Can you put a link in for "our basement"? I would like to order those socks online.
good for you for being unashamed. :) It's gotta be a little unnerving to know that everyone from school reads your blog...I don't tell anyone about my blog because I'm afraid I'll be judged by people who know me T__T. sighz. i'm working on having no shame, tho.
and I love your bracelet! just shows that labels/designers don't always stick to a certain aesthetic and every label has at least one piece you'd wear :)
amazing pics and great post! love your wedges!
