Love the shoes, gloves and polka dots. Overall effect is a bit scary and old ladyish though!

Just wondering if you are a student or a professional? If you are a professional, what field are you in that allows you to pursue such an unusual (and amazing!) endeavor through your fashion everyday?!

Faaancy! I really love this look - though as a focal point of the outfit, the belt almost seems a little too current and clunky in the midst of all the lovely anachronisms. Color-wise it does match the hat and shoes nicely, though. (And I LOVE the hat.)

Inspired by The Project tagged this Smokin!
Cool as a summer breeze. Luv it all from the top of your hat to the toes or your shoes. The collar and gloves are the highlight and the polka dot skirt adds just the right touch of whimsy. This outfit just blows me away!

abigail tagged this trying a bit too hard
love the layered skirt, but the whole effect to me is contrived; does not look like something naturally thrown together which is a look i would prefer.
