Sartorial Saturday–Fit for a Princess

Pinup Girl Clothing’s castle print Jenny skirt was my first purchase from them (other than a petticoat), and it still remains one of my favorites. I have somehow never managed to pair it with this peasant top before, even though they’re a perfect match. I finally took care of that, and added my replica brooch from the Royal Collection (of course!) to boot:

I’ve been working on more unusual (for me, at least) pairings of some of my favorite pieces…stay tuned for the next Sartorial Saturday!

Sartorial Saturday–A Match Made in Vintage Heaven

I already shared about the amazing vintage collaboration between Unique Vintage and Erstwilder, which I initially paired with a fantastic top from Vixen by Micheline Pitt. I think it looks even more bright and amazing with this Pinup Girl Clothing peasant top…a true match made in vintage heaven!

Paris and Pearls

The Paris print Jenny skirt from Pinup Girl Clothing is rapidly becoming my favorite! The print is gorgeous, and there are so many pretty (and vivid!) colors in the skirt, it’s easy to pair it with many different tops. This gorgeous blue peasant top is my current favorite pairing with the skirt, and I love the outfit even more with the addition of (fake) pearls, including a necklace, brooch, and earrings…I feel like it was all made to go together!

Jenny January

Yesterday was the last day of “Jenny January,” a week for us Jenny skirt and dress fans to wear our favorite Pinup Girl Clothing pieces. I wore five of my eight Jenny skirts over the course of the week, culminating with one of my two favorite prints, the Paris Jenny, yesterday.

With one exception (that Paris Jenny), these aren’t the actual outfits I wore over the last week (you might have seen those on Twitter); instead, I decided to share my favorite stylings of each Jenny skirt in my collection:

I’m sure there will be more Jenny skirts in my future, as this is my absolute favorite style offered by Pinup Girl. I’m always looking forward to seeing the new designs that appear in the “Coming Soon” section of their website, and I also love dreaming up ideas for prints I wish they would make (A London print is number one on my wish list, with a cherry blossom print a close second!). I know one thing for sure, though…I won’t be truly content with my Jenny collection until I finally get my hands on a purple harlequin print skirt!

Pink Stripes & Boats

From the moment I purchased my Mary Blair boat print Jenny skirt from Pinup Girl Clothing, I hoped I would find the perfect pink and white striped top to go with it. Sure, I had other shirts that paired well with the skirt, including one that gave off a great elf vibe in December. But when I saw this “Troublemaker Top” available for preorder from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, I knew it was a match made in heaven…and I was right!

I also love the way it looks behind my Erstwilder brooch!

Not only is the shirt a perfect match, it’s also really well made. I love the weight of the material, and at this time of year, it’s nice to have another long-sleeve shirt that goes with my Pinup Girl skirts. I’m looking forward to creating more pairings…I have quite a few pieces that will also go well with my new top!

Mommy & Me Fashion

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Pinup Girl Clothing’s Mary Blair prints. They’re some of the funnest prints they offer! And Chickadee always oohs and aahs over all my Pinup Girl clothes,because of the twirl factor, but especially the Mary Blair items. And since elephants are her favorite animal, she’s always begging me to wear my circus elephant print skirt.

The day I learned that Pinup Girl was going to be offering a “Little Mary” dress in Chickadee’s size in the circus elephant print was a day I knew I was going to be a little poorer. There was no way I could not get that dress for her. We had to be outfit buddies, and so I waited no-so-patiently for several months for it to be released. You should have seen the way her face lit up the day it arrived!

This is the only Pinup Girl dress I’ll be buying for Chickadee because, let’s face it, I can’t afford to clothe someone who grows so fast in a wardrobe of couture. But this one dress is so special, and for me, more about the memory we will have than anything else. I only wish that I had gotten in on the pink striped peasant top for myself before it sold out, so our outfits could be even more similar!

Paris in Winter

I’m still working on finding ways to make my Pinup Girl Clothing skirts and dresses work during the colder months of the year. For cool, but not too cold days, I like the way this sweater looks with my Paris Jenny skirt.

It’s a good thing I don’t mind being a little chilly, because most of the time, I don’t want to wear tights, so my legs are always feeling the breeze!

Christmas Fashion Wrap-Up

This year, more than ever before, I’ve had a lot of fun planning Christmas-inspired outfits. I’ve shared a lot of them over the last month…here’s a wrap-up of all of my Christmas fashion.

I finally got to wear several red and green outfits I had been saving (because I knew they’d look too Christmas-y at any other time of the year):

I also put together two monochromatic outfits in Christmas green and red:

I wore my Christmas tree skirt as much as possible:

And I also got a lot of use out of my blue and white harlequin skirt (which I’m looking forward to continuing to wear all winter!):

I even have two brooches appropriate for the season:

Christmas and fashion are two of my favorite things, as is evidenced by how much I write about each on my blog. I’m glad I found a way to put the two together!

Christmas Reds

Yesterday’s outfit was inspired by Christmas greens…today is all about Christmas red! And candy cane stripes, to boot!

I think that’s the end of my Christmas-themed outfits…for this year, anyway. Who knows what I might come up with next year?

Christmas Greens

I may have run out of red and green outfits, but I’m still looking for ensembles that scream “Christmas!” Since I very rarely wear so much green, I think this one does the trick!

I’m always impressed with how well my tops from Pinup Girl Clothing go with skirts from the Oblong Box Shop, too…the lighter green in this skirt is almost identical to the color of the top!
