This is an outfit I created a long time ago but I still love it! That's rare for me! I get sick of things really quickly! That's why I'm afraid to get a tatoo! I first wore this outfit on a date with my hubby. He picked this jacket out when we were shopping at Forever 21 one day so I knew he liked it! Well, I ran into an old friend that night who said my jacket looked like Beetlejuice! (good friend, I know, right?) That was several years ago and I hadn't worn it much after that until I saw the Spring/Summer 2013 runways:
Marc Jacobs
Balmain
Haider Ackerman
Dolce & Gabbana
Kasia Struss
Oscar De La Renta
and also a few similar looks from Tommy Hilfiger, Moschino, and Fausto Puglisi but I think you get the point- black and white stripes are totally in and it seems like the bolder the better! So what do you think? Beetlejuice or Beautiful?
Today I'm linking up with:
GORGEOUS! Love this outfit! :D I'm glad you found the desire to wear it again. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! I love the mix of patterns, so well done!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I usually get the "jailbird" comment when I wear stripes like this :) Heather

ReplyDeleteI love that combination. Not Beetlejuice at all. That friend of yours it not particularly nice!

Can't it be both??? I love that it's sort of beetlejuice but still amazing! I love that you pulled all of those S/S13 runway inspirations too, it's so gratifying when you save something like that and it becomes really in demand later on!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! What a great job you do!
ReplyDeleteHopping in from Favorite Things Thursdays and http://asktracyann.crochethappy.com
oh my gosh that is so cute- not sure that i could pull that off as well as you!!
ReplyDeleteThe stripes look great on you! (And Beetlejuice is a really good movie.)
ReplyDeleteWell, despite the comment from that awkward little soul, I think this outfit is darling! I love the balance of florals and stripes, and the little ruffled top peeking out. And the finish of red shoes is so fun!!! ~Sarah
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great jacket - but I am drooling over the scarf and that perfect lipstick!
ReplyDeleteLove this with the scarf. I like it a lot. Looks great with your makeup.
