Iconic

denim2denim5denim4


Skirt? Ralph Lauren, thrifted Dress as shirt? French Connection Shoes? Derek Lam, Holt's Last Call Belt and clutch? Thrifted Bracelets? Crazy Lady at The Ex Hair? Tutorial here


I feel like this outfit is a bonnet and a sleeve away from being Little House on The Prairie. And if I ditch the skirt to reveal the rather short dress that I am wearing as shirt, my outfit could potentially be a pack of hair extensions and a contour spray tan away from being Gossip Girl. Basically, my outfit is somewhere between two iconic Americans; Laura Ingalls Wilder and Serena Van Der Woodsen.

And now we shall mourn that I flippantly dared to call Serena Van Der Woodsen iconic... Though let's be real, I mean no flippancy when I say that Laura Ingalls Wilder is iconic. She was pretty much my childhood hero...

    This whole "re purposing" trend in clothing is SO smart and I really need to start doubling my dresses as tops! Great look (and I love "Little House on the Prairie).

    Gorgeous draping, ruffles, and pleats. I think you'd need a ditsy floral to ramp this up to Laura Ingalls Wilder territory, tho!

    Somehow I ended up owning the crinoline from my aunt's wedding gown as a child. I ran around with reckless abandon in that thing pretending I was Half Pint.
    When I realized I could never BE Laura Ingalls Wilder, I contemplated marrying an Amish man.
    Would have been the closest thing to living Little House on the Prairie.....

    I am in awe on the great idea of using your FC dress as a top. The color blocking effects works great for Fall.

    I believe everything published made a great deal of sense.
    However, think about this, what if you added a
    little information? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a headline that makes people want more? I mean "Iconic" is kinda plain. You ought to peek at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create article titles to grab people to open the links.
    You might add a related video or a related pic or two
    to get people interested about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit more interesting.
