The Revolutionary Costume for Today!

So I got bored and I have also been watching too much Grey Gardens. That's why I decided to wear my pencil skirt as a dress. With lacey tights. And crazy Donna Karen F/w rtw 08 hair. People stared, I wore it to class, the mall, and luncheon with Billy. I think everyone thinks I am insane....

I have been knitting away at my bonnets lately, and I am selling three at work! I am however, concerned that no one who isn't me would wear these pieces. I took pictures of two of them before bringing them in! If anyone is interested in a custom-knit bonnet, you can e-mail me at pinkmarshmallowgirl@gmail.com and we'll talk!

Heat: Scarf Syndrome, Days 4 and 5




It is terribly hot here. I think I may cook my internal organs by exposing myself to non-AC air. However, I think it is the perfect time for Scarf Syndrome, since I have felt cooler by wearing them on my head!!! Today's Look is quasi-inspired by Grey Gardens. I am not attempting to toot my own horn, but Lilia and I have adored Edie, the documentary, and her style of dress long before right now, where BUST magazine and others have spreads. It's all because Drew Barrymore (whose voice is too clogged to be her, anyway!) is starring in an HBO movie based on the Mayles Brothers' movie. I was going to do a fall post accurately inspired by the documentary which I have been repeatedly studying for SEVERAL YEARS, but for right now, today I am dressed in an outfit I imagine her wearing when it's summer and really hot in the Hamptons...Photobucket

Day 4!
Photobucket

Scarf: random in house, tied '50s retro style to compliment my high ponytail
Top: A Betsy-hand me down
Pants: From Billy's mom from her trip to Paris!!
Bag: Skunkfunk from Betsy
Shoes: Nine West
bracelet: Grandma's

I love these airy white pants!! I wish I didn't get so tanned, but at the very least, it compliments all the white I've been wearing. I wore this shopping/on errands with Billy yesterday, but when I got home, before class, I nixed the pants, it's just too damn hot!!!
