  • red ribbon as headband
  • red vintage slip
  • blue (dyed) slip
  • red stretchy belt
  • flower clips from h&m
  • seamed stockings
  • black maryjanes

There’s a fine line between two slips=a dress and two slips=wearing lingerie out of the house.
I’m still not totally convinced that this is a good outfit… maybe the slip would have to be less of a lipstick red for me to believe it.
This outfit is inspired by:
Bette Davis in Of Human Bondage when she’s strung out and sick.
Courtney Love circa 1994 – lots of lace, red lipstick and mary jane shoes.

IMG_8859It was actually raining really hard when I took this photo!
IMG_8863Like I’ve said before… I LOVE MATCHY MATCHY!
Just the small bits of primary colored tweed that compliment the dress make this outfit very successful in my eyes
IMG_8862 IMG_8850Here are my little bows! I scalped my Hello Kitty plush and now she looks SO much like Dear Daniel with no bow!

I stitched one single pronged pin curl clip to the back of each bow, so I can slip it on when I feel like channeling Hello Kitty.
