Wicked for Good just came out, and since it’s all the rage right now, I decided to style an outfit in the iconic duo of pink and green that’s so famous in the franchise!
The Clarisse-Gia blouse, Terentia-Paz vest, and Lucile-Paz trumpet skirt are all from the most recent Miss Candyfloss collection, and were actually styled together on their website. Honestly, I wouldn’t have thought of pairing these pieces on my own, so I’m grateful for the recommendation!
I kept my accessories pink and green, too, including an Erstwilder gingko leaf brooch and stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles. I also added my Erstwilder The Wizard of Oz “The Good Witch’s Crown” earrings, which are perfect for the occasion!
I love the way my ankle boots, which are just a few shades darker than the suit separates, anchor the outfit!
It’s so much fun to come up with an outfit idea inspired by something from pop culture!
I love when Miss Candyfloss drops a surprise dress that wasn’t in the lookbook, and the Enola-Lavania dress is no exception!
This is basically the autumn version of a sundress. It’s soft and stretchy and so easy to wear! And I love the shade of purple…it’s very rich and saturated!
I kept the accessories simple with beads and Duchess Bangles from Splendette, plus an Erstwilder brooch.
The dress has an asymmetrical row of buttons down the front and a full skirt, and pockets, of course!
It’s super comfortable, and is a great foundation for accessorizing in different colors!
I’m looking forward to finding more ways to wear this dress throughout the cooler months!
I’ve worn this beautiful and vibrant skirt (with artwork of the Evil Queen’s transformation from beautiful & regal ruler to old hag), designed by Stephanie Buscema twice in the last week.
While I love everything about the skirt (especially the bold color palette, not to mention its fantastic volume!), I have always hated the bodice of the dress. So this year, I decided that since I’m an adult, I’m allowed to transform a dress I dislike into a skirt I love.
Yes, I hacked off the bodice of the dress. And since I decided to do it kind of last minute ahead of Halloween, I just added some velcro where the zipper was. I may take it to a tailor and have an actual zipper put in eventually, but for now, this works just fine!
I accessorized with a RockLove Jewelry Nightmare Before Christmas necklace, an Erstwilder Love Potion brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, all in shades of purple, and I wore my Colourpop Cosmetics Evil Queen lipstick and lipgloss, too.
I paired my “new” skirt with my favorite purple Frenchie top from Unique Vintage:
I absolutely love how this whole look came together!
I’m glad I took a chance on changing something in my wardrobe from something I didn’t love into something I really do!
I still haven’t done a lot of Disney Bounds, but I’m especially proud of this one I created for the Disney Princess who has the style I most admire…Rapunzel, and just in time for Halloween, too!
I used my purple dirndl dress from Rare Dirndl as the base of the look, and added a beautiful pink embroidered rosette apron and pink lacing ribbon, and a purple vacation blouse from Vixen by Micheline Pitt.
I accessorized with a flower crown and floral necklace (of course!), and a pair of Splendette glitter bangles in Rapunzel’s signature colors of pink and purple:
And I added a Loungefly crossbody bag themed for Tangled to complete the look:
I love that I was able to find so many floral elements for this Disney Bound!
I might not have Rapunzel’s hair, but I think I captured the spirit of her style!
Last week I took a look at a gorgeous Miss Candyfloss trumpet skirt in a vibrant shade of pink; this week it’s time for a look at the matching vest!
The Terentia-Paz is a beautiful tailored piece that is pretty much identical in style to the vest I added to my wardrobe last year. It also pairs well with the same Brindy-Dora pants, not to mention the Tannia-Khalia bishop-sleeve blouse!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…Miss Candyfloss does peplums extremely well!
I accessorized with a hat with a statement bow, an Erstwilder brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles:
It’s a lovely, polished look!
I love how versatile Miss Candyfloss vests are…they go with so many different tops, skirts, and pants, and I even have plans to pair this one with a dress…stay tuned!
Time to look back at all of the Oktoberfests we attended this year! I had a great time wearing my favorite Rare Dirndls various places and celebrating my heritage!
First Chickadee and I went to Grant’s Farm in mid-September. This was a first (or at least the first time in a long time) for us. We were there pretty early, so we didn’t get to see the entertainment, but we did share a pretzel and it was top-tier…super buttery and one of the best we had!
Next was Belleville Oktoberfest, which is always something of a disappointment to me…the pretzels weren’t even very good! But it was an excuse to wear a dirndl and walk down Main Street.
Third was my favorite local Oktoberfest in St. Charles, MO. The music and dancing were amazing and the pretzels were delicious! Plus, it seems like the most authentic one in our area (says the woman who has never been to Munich…).
We always celebrate Oktoberfest at home. I made our standard German feast of schnitzel and spaetzle and red cabbage, with Black Forest cherry torte for dessert (not to mention fondue with pretzels, pickles, and brats for lunch), and not to brag, but the pretzels at our establishment are pretty good, too!
For the second year, we went to Soulard’s Oktoberfest, and I have to say, I really love this (relatively) small event! The pretzels were only so-so, but the cheese sauce was excellent, and the brass band was one of our favorites!
I was worried we weren’t going to make it to Zootoberfest at the St. Louis Zoo, but we managed to get there on the final day. As always, the pretzels are the best in the region (and the beer cheese they serve with them is outstanding), and I got to hear a polka band, complete with accordion!
This was a really fun season of festing…I’ll leave you with Brasshaufen Brass Band (a group we enjoyed both in St. Charles and Soulard) doing one of my favorite Oktoberfest numbers. Prost!
Today I’m taking a look at my second trumpet skirt from Miss Candyfloss…the lovely Lucile-Paz in a vibrant mulberry pink!
I loved the Gillian-Kat trumpet skirt so much that I knew I wanted to add another to my wardrobe. When I saw this beautiful color, I knew that it (and the matching vest) was exactly what I was looking for.
I accessorized with my favorite hat, an Erstwilder brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles.
I also added black lace gloves and a statement ring to complete the look:
Just like I did with the Gillian-Kat skirt, for my first wearing of the Lucile-Paz I paired it with a ruffled Frenchie top from Unique Vintage, this time in a dark grey:
I know I’m usually all about the swing skirts, but I really love the way a trumpet skirt looks and moves, and I think it’s a great style for me!
Today I’m taking a look at a beautiful floral lace apron from Rare Dirndl I got just in time for Oktoberfest!
I’ve had my eye on this made-to-order style for a while, and I decided to cash in my “Prost Points” (the Rare Dirndl rewards program) to have this apron made before I went to my favorite Oktoberfest in St. Charles, MO.
Here’s a look at the accessories I wore with it:
I love how sheer lace is, which allows the lovely color of the skirt of the Harlequin dirndl to shine through!
This is such a good staple piece…I’m really looking forward to pairing it with more of my dirndls!
It may be technically fall, but we’re still having summer weather, so today I’m taking a look at a casual, striped top from this year’s spring/summer collection from Miss Candyfloss.
The Kacey-Wisteria is a lovely, stretchy top with just a hint of off-the-shoulder playfulness in a soft shade of lavender. I paired it here with the Idalia-Lee skort from last year, but it goes well with so many other things in my wardrobe, from skirts to jeans!
I kept my accessories fairly simply, with a RockLove Jewelry water lily necklace, an Erstwilder brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles:
I loved the Juliette-Rose dress so much that I knew I needed to add this top to my wardrobe…they’re very similar!
The back neckline of the shirt mirrors the front:
I love the nautical vibe of this look!
I’m looking forward to wearing this top under jackets once it cools off, too!
