Top: Dorothy Perkins (remixed)

Skirt: Asos

Shoes: Melissa

This altered Dorothy Perkins top is probably the most successful and most regularly worn remix project I’ve ever done. I remixed it over two years ago (instructions can be found here in my original post) and I’ve worn it countless times since then. It’s even the image in my “Remix” button.

It works with trousers, skirts, denim anything. It’s a go-to item when I’m stuck for something to wear, and it almost always looks good.

I’m heading out to dinner, so a quickie!

Have a fun night, see you tomorrow (phew!)

Blouse: Embody Clothing

Skirt: Asos

Belt: Portmans

Shoes: Chie Mihara

Bracelet: Phillipa (no longer active)

Dress: Clips: Vintage

Petticoat: Domino Dollhouse

Are you sick of this skirt yet? I’m not! I’m loving wearing it; with and without the big bouffy petticoat underneath.

A few days ago I teamed it with a gorgeous new bottle green top from Embody Clothing, which is almost the exact same green as my much loved Veronika Maine jacket.

I cinched in the waist with an elasticised belt that I bought from Portmans AGES ago, and have barely worn because it turns out I don’t wear wide elasticised waist belts as well as I thought I did. In this context it helps give me that true 50′s hourglass shape, though usually it cuts me in half in a most unflattering way.

For a little bit of true vintage I added my gorgeous antique dress clips to give the blouse’s scooped neckline more of a square/sweetheart style. It wasn’t until I got home that evening that I realised – horrors! – that I’d lost one of the two clips. It’s very sad. I can wear the remaining one solo, but the brooch attachment is useless now, and I’d been looking forward to wearing the two during cardigan season :(

Fortunately they didn’t cost me a fortune, but I went back to the antique dealer that I bought them from and they don’t have anything half as nice. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled on Etsy/Ebay for another set.
