Wonderland
Wednesday, December 23
The Occasion…
My mom surprised me with tickets to Wonderland, a new Alice in Wonderland musical making its premiere in Tampa. It was so funny and the costumes were incredibly creative — done by the same woman who outfitted Wicked, so you should definitely take a look at their site and see them for yourself.
The Outfit…
Purple Silk Blouse - used to be grandmothers, now borrowed from mom’s closet
Metallic Tweed Pencil Skirt - J Crew Collection via Diva (Alexandria, VA) (previously worn here)
Hematite Fringy Necklace - handmade by my friend Linds
Hematite Magnetic Bracelet - borrowed from mom
Black Tights - drugstore
Black Patent Pumps - Bally
The Explanation…
I’ve worn this skirt with purple before, but more of a muted plum. This time I went for a bright indigo with this vintage silk blouse borrowed from my mom’s closet. Adding the hematite accessories, one of these also borrowed, played up the metallic bits of the skirt, which I loved. I always like to raid my mom’s wardrobe for pieces to work into outfits with what I’ve brought home. Do you have a favorite item to borrow from your mom, sister, or friends?
