This is a great day-to-night outfit that I came up with based on a pair of earrings my parents brought back from a trip to California. They're dark-silver discs with an "om" symbol on them! So cool. The tank top has little pieces of metal in the same tone as the earrings around the neckline!
I love matching metals, which is why I chose this studded belt and the two necklaces. One is a key with St. Anthony de Padua on it, and the other is Jesus. I'm not really religious at all, but I'm going into my fourth year in Religious Studies, so I have a great respect for different religions and their iconography. I'm mixing them today, with the om earrings and the Christian guys! I find the pattern on the skirt to be reminiscent of tiling in mosques, too.
For a nighttime transition, I added ripped over-the-heel stockings that I made myself. I had a pair of good-quality stockings that got a run, so I made tons more with scissors! I love them :P I added square-toe quilted ballet flats instead of the ruffled sandals.
Excuse the mess behind me, it was garbage day! Haha. Don't we have a neat assortment of garbage receptacles? ;)
While I like metals to match, I'm not opposed to mixing them either! I added a military-style jacket with aged-gold zippers.
Ta-da! This was such a fun outfit to wear. I love pleated skirts because they fan out when you twirl around!
This jacket is one of my favourites, and I'm going to make it even better. Once I find enough antique-looking lace (or white lace to tea-dye) I'm going to sew it onto every seam on the jacket: front, back, sleeves! I'm so excited to start :D
Many thanks to my handsome photographer, Billy. He may make a cameo appearance in the next post!
Happy dressing,
Mitzi xo
