Pretty Pretty Princess

Satin blouse, Express. Velvet skirt, Herman Geist (thrifted and shortened). Sash, Mike’s USNA necktie. Brooch, swapped. Slingbacks, Linea Paolo.


I felt a little too “pretty pretty princess” in this ensemble. I think the rhinestone buttons, glittery brooch, shiny shirt, and bell-shaped skirt were a bit much all together.

    Love your outfit, but think you could use a deeper shoe to "ground" all the color up top.

  7. I really like this. In fact, I think this is my favorite way you've worn that skirt. I love the color of that top.

  8. I agree with Jody. I was just popping in to say that I think this is my favorite way I've seen this skirt. I think the top balances it nicely, and the tie gives it structure.

  9. It IS pretty. The shirt and skirt are great together (and, like others have said, I think this is my favorite way you've worn the skirt). Maybe next time try accessories that are less, uh... pretty.

  10. This outfit is so chic! I think the shoes maybe should have been a different color... they just kind of blend. I want a skirt like this one!
