Literary Lady

July 18, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’ve always had this romantic image in my head of a well dressed woman in a full skirt reading on the train. There’s something so interesting and so alluring to me about this mix of style, class, and intelligence. This is the kind of outfit that I imagine that woman would wear. The full skirt is retro and elegant but the crop top and studded heels add some edge to it. I added my favorite Lolita book clutch (seen here) to enhance the literary feeling.

    […] Wanna know a secret? The bow is in the middle of the shorts not for decoration but to keep them up. The shorts were too big but I had to have them so I pinned them into a smaller size. You can see I’ve done that with skirts here, here, and here. […]
