Harvest
Dress, vintage, thrifted, and shortened. Sweater vest, Cherokee. Tights, We Love Colors. Maryjanes, Two Lips. Appliqué brooch, self made.
I love the fancy appliqués I see in the sewing and craft stores, but I have a fear of commitment. My solution was to glue two brooch backs onto the appliqué so that I could pin and unpin it to any outfit I like.

Hi Kasmira,
I have been following your blog for quite a while now and enjoy seeing all the colour/style combinations that you come up with. As for today, I love the orange/blue combination, particularly against a background such as your colouring. However, I mourn not being able to pull off these colours with my olive skin, dark hair & eyes!.

I love those shoes -so!- much.
If I attempted this outfit, people would think I came to work drunk, yet on you it looks fabulous! I love the brooch too; you are crafty. Now come to my house and help me with my clothes! I'm sure you've always wanted to visit South Carolina!
This outfit looks *right* (I am not sure what I mean by that, but it was the only word that I could think of). I don't know what it is, but it looks so effortless yet pulled together in the perfect Kasmira way. In my next life I want your style courage!
I have to echo everyone else--I'd never have the guts (or the shape) to wear something like this, but on you, it's perfect. I love the color of the tights and the sweater together.
Love the purple with the orange, great combo!
I've nominated you for an 'I Love Your Blog' award, see my blog post for details!
the brooch is fantastic!
the orange looks great...its good you didn't wear too much orange, what with Halloween n all you might risk looking like a pumpkin! jk jk :D
nice outfit!
This is one my favorite outfits of yours! Love love love! You have convinced me that sweatervests have a purpose!
Pinning the applique on is a great idea. All to often they have to be removed anyway for washing or dry cleaning. This makes it easy.
Wow, I love this outfit!
why am i just now discovering this blog! while i can't say i love EVERY outfit....i can say I LOVE most of them....and wish i had the confidence to dress the same way!! love it love it...great blog find (thanks for not making it private!)
I LOVE the idea of making a brooch out of an applique...very non-committal! The dress looks great with the vest...it may be my favorite look for this dress so far!
I love how you've taken this dress and added a bit more to it. The orange is the perfect soft combo for this dress. And the broach...ah...need I say more? It's lovely!
