A twist in the Tale

Has it happened to you that you were in a state of absolute zen and suddenly you jump out of your bed like a ninja coz you've just had a mad brainwave?
Well it happens to me quite often and more often than not, these are bursts of creativity spouting out in miniature frenzies like these.
Symptoms: Look of absolute concentration, rummaging through closets and trunks with old clothes in an absolute frenzy, causing worry to the family et al.




What I've done with today's outfit is recreate a traditionally printed full length skirt for you in a new avatar. That of a maxi dress. The idea is to pair the old with the new, the bold color of the skirt with a sombre black of the jacket, the fuchsia of the skirt with the midnight blue of the Kurt Geiger flat pumps. It was this one skirt I was particularly looking for when I styled this outfit in my mind and I was glad when I found it amongst my sister's old clothes. Lend your old full length skirts some shape to turn it into a maxi dress by belting it at the top of your waist. Throw in a stack of bracelets, bangles or even a chunky necklace to accessorize this look. But since my skirt(dress) had a lot of golden going on, I just stuck to a couple of blingy stack of bracelets to peek out of the jacket. You could also try a blazer or a cardigan for the same effect.




What do you think? :) Did this post give you enough inspiration to liven up some old, beautiful pieces? Share with me! :)
XOXO
