So I sort of dressed in costume on my house-hunting trip last week. Kendrick says I looked like Minnie Mouse. I say that, right there, is Mrs. Flax all the way.
Right?
Mrs. Flax also happens to be one of my favorite cinematic characters ever (“‘I’ll make you a deal. You stop being a little bitch for, let’s say, oh, I don’t know, an hour or two, and I won’t knock the religion of your choice for a week”), but that’s besides the point.
The point is, I’m not really a pink girl, and not really a heart-shaped sunglasses girl, and not particularly a bow girl, either. And although I do get into each of these three things on occasion, I’m certainly not an all-three-at-the-same-time girl…so what was all this about?
Dunno.
It just seemed like a good idea. I guess I was in a good mood. A pink hearts and sparkly bows kind of mood.
That’s the bag I won in a raffle a couple of weeks ago. (I know. It was an exciting evening for me.)
Now, costume or no I’m actually quite partial to this outfit, but if you’re looking for just a touch of the Frou and aren’t into going full-on Girly World, my suggestions:
– Pair a bedazzled bag with a simple-as-can-be white tee and boyfriend jeans, pointy-toe flats, and some fantastic sunglasses.
– Try a pink polka-dot dress with a pair of knee-high, flat black boots and a cozy cardigan.
– Heart-shaped sunglasses? Not for everyone. But if you’re the kind of person whom they’re “for”…I’d wager you know exactly how to wear them. And that is: with everything, all the time.
On me: Dress c/o dee&ray, Hanes Blackout tights, Aldo flats, GANT sunglasses, Lena Erziak purse (won in raffle).
