Sartorial Saturday–Everything’s Coming Up Daisy

Did you know Daisy Duck is celebrating her 85th birthday this year? She is my absolute favorite Disney character, so I was super excited when the Disney Store online debuted this adorable dress inspired by my sassy gal!

It features puff sleeves and a full skirt with a built in crinoline, plus an embroidered faux collar and button. The pink and purple color palette is perfect for Daisy, and the bottom half of the skirt is covered with the flowers she is named for and also includes her unmistakable signature.

I accessorized with a pair of purple, daisy-covered 85th anniversary ears by BaubleBar from the Disney Store, an Erstwilder brooch, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, and a RockLove Jewelry Daisy Duck necklace.

I also have a sparkly, fuzzy, Daisy Duck Loungefly mini backpack…I’ve wished for something like this for a while, and this is exactly what I had in mind!

I attaached a signature bag charm from BaubleBar, too:

This is the perfect look to celebrate my favorite duck!

Sartorial Saturday–An Experimental Dress

Aloha! Today I’m taking a look at a dress from The Disney Store inspired by everyone’s favorite cute and fluffy alien, Experiment 626, Stitch himself! In addition to Stitch, the print on this sundress features colorful flowers, pineapples, and planets…it’s absolutely perfect for summer!

The details of this dress, like the Scrump stitched onto the belt, are outstanding!

I love how tropical this look is, just like Stitch’s adopted home of Hawaii!

I went with Stitch-approved blue accessories, including a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, a Meteor Jewelry Company Starlite necklace, and a pair of hair flowers. I also added an atomic Erstwilder brooch, although I wouldn’t have needed to, because there’s already a dimensional flower attached to the dress!

Here’s a another look at the beautiful blue belt, and the colorful illustrations on the dress:

I love the way all of the blues in the look pop against the white background!

I can’t pass a coordinating Loungefly by, especially when it’s on sale! I love that the print matches the dress, but instead of a white background, the vibrant sketches are on black.

It’s such a fun, happy look!

I believe that for the first time ever, after being a parent for 21+ years, I have a matching outfit with one of my children, because Ladybug has this dress, too! Stitch is her absolute favorite, and I love that she’s willing to be a Disney twin with me!

Sartorial Saturday–The Happiest Dress that Ever Twirled

“It’s a world of laughter
A world of tears
It’s a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There’s so much that we share
That it’s time we’re aware
It’s a small world after all.”

I think by now, my love of all things Mary Blair and especially “It’s a Small World” is pretty evident, so you won’t be surprised to know that as soon as I learned that a twirly dress with a print that reflects the children of the world showcased in the ride was coming to the Disney Store, I put it on my wishlist.

Puff sleeves aren’t usually a style I embrace, because I prefer not to draw attention to my upper arms, but these puffs are so extreme, I find that I don’t mind the extra attention, because that’s kind of the point!

Did I mention the matching ears? I’m dreaming of wearing them to Disney World in a few years, when Ladybug and I hope to take a trip together!

Besides the ears, I accessorized with a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, an Erstwilder brooch, and a Crislu necklace that features the clock face from the ride!
