Familiar? This is a breakdown of the dress robes I designed for Harry. I was unsure of whether or not to have the sleeves of the jacket rolled up--I liked the turquoise cuff poking out the end, but we decided to keep them down.
chartreuse corduroy blazer : Kohls or some other dept. store, years ago--gift from cousins
embossed vest : hand-me-down from a percussion friend
turquoise button-down shirt : Goodwill
lace cravat : cream satin scarf with a corner of a lace curtain tucked into it
A tip for how to get the cravat to work:
It is not entirely evident from the images above, but I "popped" my shirt collar before tying the satin scarf around my neck. This adds to the authenticity of the look.
In this outfit, I altered three items. The first is the gray tunic--it was originally a romper that was a bit too small for me on the bottom. I cut out the part that makes it shorts, and then cut a fringe into the edge, so that now it fits more like a shirt than a dress. The second item in this outfit that I cut is the light denim shorts. Originally, these were pants (Aéropostale actually--a cast-off from a friend of mine), but they were a couple inches too short. I liked the fit on my waist, so I decided to keep them and make them into shorts. The other item I altered is the leggings--these were originally tights, but because they were so small the likelihood of me ripping them was very high.
gray pinstriped tunic : W*****t (it's Miley Cyrus brand..)
light blue denim cut-offs : hand-me-down from a friend's sister
tie dye leggings : Hot Topic
construction cone orange peek-a-boo toe flats : H&M in Chicago
the 2 gold rings : antique store in Columbus
colorful beaded hamsa ring : ethnic store in Columbus
shorter beaded necklace : handmade by yours truly, at the same time I made a similar necklace to wear to my mom's second wedding
This outfit is just sooo chill and relaxed. It's also versatile. I wore it to the store, a party, AND a roller derby match. The 'fishnet', or lacy leggings under the shorts make them a bit more modest, without adding much (if any) heat in this hot weather. The multitude of bracelets, I made at my friend's house a day or two before--super cute! More on those in another post, I bet.
