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!
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!
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!
Miss Candyfloss is in the middle of releasing items from their new autumn/winter collection, but today I’m taking a look at my first pair of capri pants from the spring/summer Chérie Bardot lookbook!
The Jacinna-Lee capri pants in blue with white polka dots are extremely comfortable and very stretchy…I sized down from my usual Miss Candyfloss size, and I’m almost certain I could have gone two full sizes with no problem! I decided to go bold with pattern mixing by pairing them with the tartan Efrona-Lee blouse.
I accessorized with a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles and an Erstwilder brooch:
And I added a little bit of extra pattern with a belt covered in polka squares!
This is a great comfortable outfit to wear as the seasons change!
I’m really glad I got to add another new Miss Candyfloss style to my wardrobe!
Let me be real for a moment. This is a total first world problem, and I know it, but the tariff situation with the US has significantly impacted my ability to order clothes from Miss Candyfloss, my very favorite clothing company. I was able to place an order before the increases took effect, but because the items from the new collection, Solivère, were only just beginning to be released, I didn’t have a whole lot of options to choose from, including my most-wished for item from the lookbook, a beautiful purple dress. The Cloe-Minty caught my eye, though…it’s my favorite style of dress in a lovely soft grey color with pretty mint stripes in the plaid. While it might not have been my first choice, it is a beautiful dress, and if I can find anything to be happy about, it’s that I ordered a piece that I otherwise might have overlooked.
I decided to really run with the subtle mint in the dress, and added a fascinator, Splendette Duchess Bangles, and beads in that color. I also added grey gloves, and a sliver brooch I’ve had so long, I no longer remember where it’s from!
I love that the plaid isn’t too wide…it makes it much easier to wear!
The full skirt has an outstanding twirl, too!
Stay tuned for another styling of this dress in the future!
This isn’t the first Disney Bound I’ve done in honor of Daisy Duck, and it’s not even the first featuring this dress and cardigan, but it is my favorite look inspired by her signature style that I’ve come up with!
For this Disney Bound, I buttoned up my purple Yemak cropped cardigan over my white Honesta-May dress from Miss Candyfloss and cinched it with a pink belt. I also added a pink fascinator inspired by Daisy’s usual bow…I think the color palette is spot on!
I don’t have a daisy brooch, but I thought a white hydrangea from Erstwilder would be a good substitute. I also added a pair of Splendette Duchess Bangles in the same color as Daisy’s signature bracelet.
I think I captured Daisy’s look quite well, don’t you?
I tried to emulate her sass and sparkle as much as possible!
I really enjoy Disney Bounding, and it’s fun to try to figure out how the items I already have in my wardrobe can be used for this purpose!
I couldn’t let our “Pokémon Summer” go by without coming up with a look appropriate for the theme, so I decided to do a “Pikachu Bound” featuring the cheerful yellow Harriet-Naia dress from Miss Candyfloss.
I had to think about the accessories that best match Pikachu’s energy and color scheme…in the end, I went with a little black (gloves and Splendette beads), a little brown (hat and ankle boots), plus some red accents for Pikachu’s cheeks (Splendette Duchess Bangles), and a heart brooch to mimic the tail on a female Pikachu with a pair of lightning bolt earrings borrowed from Bunny:
I even went with a double stack of bangles, which is not something usually do:
The earrings are probably the best part of the look!
I always love a happy yellow look, but this one was extra fun to wear!
This was an entertaining addition to our summer of Pokémon!
