Lacey Skirt Love

Lacey Skirt Love by stormy-teacup featuring long sleeve tops
Lace was our starting point for this week's 'Polly Dolly' and I loves me a lace skirt. Each of these styles I love and would wear in a second, if time and money allowed.

The left outfit is definitely something I'd wear to a gig or if I want a bit of 'spunky' bravado... You wouldn't take any crap in this get-up!

I love the colours of the middle outfit - if you haven't noticed, I'm a big fan of 'shots' of unexpected colour and interesting colour combinations.

The right would be work/uni gear. I feel very grounded in earthy tones, so something this muted would do wonders for my ability to focus on the task at hand.

Betty Boop - The Costume

Betty Boop - The Costume by stormy-teacup featuring black gloves
There are a few costume parties on the horizon for me, one of which is a 'Cartoon Themed' party - I wanted to create a multiple use costume so that I'm not frantically pulling together a new costume every other week for the next few months. This will be an easy costume to keep on hand and whip out when necessary.

I've included a few different dress/shoe options to act as prompts while I'm brainstorming the dress I will eventually sew.

I also found two great tutorials on youtube for betty boop style make-up, so add a black and white spotty dog and I'm set!!

weekend in the city

I had a rather large description of my set typed up, but my computer crashed (taking the whole set with it!) so I shall provide a more concise write up this time.

For Danimezza's latest 'Polly Dolly' challenge we were asked to create an outfit based around our dream bag. I started a set based around a magnificent clutch with a knuckleduster clasp (it was beautiful to behold) but I started thinking on my bag choices in real life. I am a satchel fan. I love something with a long strap and lots of space to store my junk (separate pockets for different junk is a bonus!) I am definitely a function over form girl when it comes to my 'stuff holder', and I can't condense that stuff down to a clutch to save myself!

With that in mind I picked a ridiculously stylish satchel that I would loooove to add to my collection and based an outfit around that. I really love this whole set and would easily wear it all, it's funky and sassy but totally comfy!

Miss Mini

I would wear this entire outfit if I could afford it! I'm a massive fan of 'effortless' fashion - throw it all together, wear it with confidence and a few key pieces (like those shoes and that bracelet!) to tie it all in.

Spring is in the air

The last few days have been almost warm - the sun has been shining and the flowers are all starting to bloom. I'd almost forgotten what glorious weather feels like - here is a set to celebrate the changing of the seasons... Bring on Spring!!

Lady in red (and aqua)

I'm a little late coming into this 'Polyvore' business, and also the 'Polly Dolly' challenges which introduced me to it. But this is my submission for the 'Lady in Red' challenge, I've chosen to funk it up with a light, bright aqua (plus, that dress is ADORABLE!).
