Black and white and ready to fight
Kicking off the last weekend across the pond in vintage capelet veil from eBay, suede bow tie from Treehouse, knee highs from Sockdreams, and thrift store boots from Brooklyn.

Saw this and laughed -- in a GOOD way! Fashion should be fun . . . And thanks for the capelet/hood close-up -- from the detail, it's a style that older ladies (our great-grandparents' age) in the Southern U.S. used to hand-make, almost like lace.

You look like a pilgrim (Or would it be a puritan?) about ready to embark on the big ocean voyage.

Definately need to get back home, girl! Whats that on your head? You look like a cross between my cat and a milkmaid. Fun but silly

I got a Templar vibe too! Or Nun? It's cute, whatever the inspiration! I would have liked to have seen the capelet veil down - I imagine that's what one would do with it while inside. I like the monochromatic layering under the dress, and the boots of course are just delightful.

This blog has a very intriguing concept. I'm glad I found it. I like the veil!

It was all good, for everything under the shoulders. That combo with the veil and the bow makes it way too costume-y and silly. Like a cross between a clown and milkmaid. A pity since I like that veil.

interesting. reminds me of the judiciary (not sure that's good). BUT still love the project. Am addicted to the daily log in and love that you are fighting the good fight against under-privilege and poverty.

strange and lovely in its way. Just wondering...did you actually keep the veil/mantilla on during the day?

You might try covering the dress with large cotton handkerchiefs diagonally, so it becomes like large harlequin diamonds. I enjoy the project. Could you sell a pattern of the dress, even in larger sizes?

The capelet veil was a bit much for me. But I love the bow tie and it works well with the dress. Then again, I guess it wouldn't be complete without a white collar.

Mormon? I'm mormon, and we definitely don't dress like that.

OK, sorry, but... I dunno, that veil thing with the bow tie just looks silly. Makes me think of a dressed-up baby.

For some reason I get a Romeo and Juliet-esque feel from this costume. I can see you reciting a monologue under a single spotlight with the shadows playing off the veil
