Rrrrruffles

My new ruffle tee from Vain and Vapid (thank you, thank you!) just arrived in the mail and it is love. The ruffles are so decadent and brilliantly placed on a tee shirt. I like to think the tone-on-tone coloring makes it more discreet and wearable. I'm also convinced that it goes perfectly with my black feather hair clip. Word of caution to you all: Vain and Vapid's etsy shop sells out fast!
My mother called this outfit "fancy," but I fail to see what elevates it from my other looks and into that realm. I haven't done much exploration outside in our neighborhood because I get very easily lost and also the rain is quite a hindrance. Hopefully the sun will hold out and I can find some interesting places for a daily outfit picture.

And yes I did wear it two days in a row, everything in my closet gets repeated at some point... This particular outfit reminds me of a cheerleader, which I never was and this isn't a particularily good thing. Maybe the matching ribbon in the hair was too much...

I see nothing wrong with repeating outfits or with looking like a cheerleader.

ps..... that's rubbish about the kinder eggs, i hope they become easier to purchase very soon!

those stripped shoes do you justice
yes, so much justice :)

Wendy said...

The top is so pretty and I do agree that this outfit is fancy. But all of your looks are feminine and elegant.

LalaLiu said...

love the ruffled shirt.

melly said...

Ohmy, you have the shirt! I had it on my etsy favourites for awhile, undecided. And as always, was really bummed when it sold out.

You wear it so nicely, showcasing the beautiful ruffles like it should. Love the fascinator and your purple skirt. Your glasses are kinda cool too, mind me asking where is it from?

Milla said...

I love the purple with the black and those stripety shoes, ah! I often wear the same(ish) thing 2 days in a row, if you find a good match, why not enjoy it a little while, eh?
Don't get lost;)!

Liv/e in Both Senses said...

Would you believe...I don't recall Milo Ventimiglia in anything, I MAY (big may) have seen him, but I don't remember...

sad really. Recommend any of his movies?

P.S. I really like the skirt in the first outfit...v.cool.

amanda said...

the oufit with the purple skirt is amazing. LOVE it.

Mimi said...

Both outfits are adorable.I want the purple skirt!

sueper said...

love the ruffle in your hair

Ida said...

I love the classiness the first set exudes. The hair clip is gorgeous as well. I am absolutely in love with it!

Songy said...

it's not easy wearing ruffles I find but you did it so nicely. I'm checking out the shop now. :P exciting.

Anna Pope said...

I love ruffles, in my mind they are the perfect things to take a tee from simple to simply adorable. The hair clip is beautiful!

susie_bubble said...

The black feather hair pin is pretty...

Pratishtha Durga said...

Vain and Vapid is super-talented. i also love the skirt you have teamed it with. I love the last picture. I don't know why but it reminds me of Alice. In Wonderland.

Vain and Vapid said...

It looks absolutely lovely on you, as does the whole outfit. Thanks so much for the shout out! :)

Kat said...

I love the black hair clip, wonderfully gothic. I love the top with that gorgeous purple skirt too.
haha mothers say the funniest things. My mother hates my sloppy grandad cardigan, at least you're fancy!lol

Liz Blair said...

I wish I could see the ruffles better. That sounds like a good idea though. After seeing this, I'm thinking that I might try adding some ruffles to a t-shirt. I have lots of black ones.

How is Nasha doing today?

Sam said...

I love the top and the feather clip is splendid!

miss milki said...

I actually love the 'cheerleader' outfit - it reminds me a bit of a modern version of Sandy in Grease - I think its the hair ribbon.

And I love your feather clip in the first outfit.

Wendiva said...

i can't take my eyes off the shoes! i love love love them!!!

bestie said...

gah i'm in love with your super short fringe. and the stripey shoes are so adorable!(:

and actually.. the 'fancy' comment is like a typical mom response to such an outfit. i dunno, i think my mom would say the same thing to me if i wore it...

annah-logue said...

young said...

Oh, I have been wanting something from Vain and Vapid for so long, but I am so slow and never get to the shop in time... it makes me a bit sad. But then again, I couldn't really afford to shop to buy something anyway, so maybe it's okay :)
You look lovely as always.

Sassy said...

Great shirt! and it looks so good with the skirts and the head piece!
