Ladylike

Paper or Plastic?

October 29, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I bought this skirt a year ago and it’s been sitting in my closet ever since. There’s not much that can sartorially scare me (hello, leather catsuit) but this full length plastic skirt had me intimidated. It’s straight plastic. Not pleather, not plastic masquerading as anything else, plastic. I bought it because it was an…Read More

Park Ave Princess

This ensemble is a homage to the power of details in an outfit. The textured leather crop top contrasts nicely with the satin sheen on the skirt, and the accessories give the look a little extra personality. Remember what I said about the pins? I recently purchased this one from a vintage market. This bag is…Read More

I’ve always had this romantic image in my head of a well dressed woman in a full skirt reading on the train.

In this outfit I’m combining two of my favorite things: tutus and midi skirts. This delicate white is the perfect spring color to offset my emerald sweater. I kept the vibe sweet with flats and a sock bun. For a ladylike outfit like this macarons felt very necessary. Sweater: H&M, Skirt: Forever21, Flats: Tahari, Belt:…Read More

by Celina[zilla_likes]

As you all know, I can’t get enough of full skirts this season, especially in the midi length. This green skirt (seen here) is one of my favorites. I love the way the bold green pairs with the bright pink shoes. And, of course, what better way to top if off than with my favorite…Read More

Lovely Little Lady

Sometimes I just need to put on a ladylike dress, flats, and some delicate accessories. Something about having a flowy skirt and flowers in my hair puts a spring in my step. Dress: Forever21 (similar here), Shoes: Payless, Flower Crown: Urban Outfitters (similar here), Belt: Thrifted, Ring: H&M Photos are mine.
