After a hectic couple of weeks, I'm happy to be back to hopefully what will be more regular blog posting. Thank you all for your feedback on my posts, and especially for your support!
Though the season is spring, it seems globally that the weather isn't quite matching up - after a few warm months in southern California, it has definitely cooled down a bit; rain (much needed here) and some strong winds. All in all, I don't mind, so long as the sun is shining and I can still dress up!
For this afternoon stroll, I wore two of my very favorite brands - Stop Staring and Secrets in Lace. These companies are each owned by people I greatly admire; who are kind, respectful and passionate about their brand. I have shot professionally for both, and not only do they each make high-quality, beautiful garments, but it's always a very pleasant experience working with them. For these reasons, you will definitely see a lot of their clothing and lingerie showcased in my posts.
I'll start with this gorgeous houndstooth dress by Stop Staring. The "Karla fitted dress" not only hugs your body like a glove, it's incredibly comfortable as well. Unlike some true vintage fabric, this stretch double knit doesn't leave your skin with that all day itchy, irritated sensation. Therefore, you can still rock that classic vintage look without the discomfort attached.
This dress features a downward, curving bodice, which enhances the bust and really accentuates an hourglass shape. No matter what shape or size though, this dress is a must have in every retro lovin' gals wardrobe. Not to mention, who doesn't want to look stylish all day long but actually feel like you're wearing pajamas?
Now let's get to my matching blue nylons, provided by Secrets in Lace - I am wearing the Premier Spanish Heel Nylons in blue. I am loving their full range of color options to pair with outfits - it gives a whole different approach to a look and really showcases your legs in an elegant, sexy way. Nylons in general leave that mystery of "what's underneath?" by it's beholder, no matter the color... though there's no denying the fun in mixing it up day-to-day. I didn't capture the full set of lingerie under my outfit (you can see plenty of that over on my Facebook page and instagram), though I am wearing the Speakeasy set by SIL in lilac, as shown here.
As you may know by now, I love to accessorize, especially when it's bringing together modern and vintage pieces that I've collected over the years. For this look, all of my accessories are vintage other than my sunglasses, which I found in a local boutique a couple of years back.
That sums it up for this weeks fashion blog. Please let me know if there's a certain look you'd like to see in the next post! I may even be showcasing more modern and alternative looks, so be sure to subscribe to keep up to date!
Thanks, as always, for your support.
