Rising Hemlines: Part 1

December 12, 2013February 21, 2014Leave a comment

I recently took a bunch of dresses to a sweet little seamstress to be shortened. I felt like a floozy asking to take all these hemlines up but it was so worth it. This shirt dress was mid-calf length; awkward with a belt, sack-like without. Shortening was just the trick! More to come.

PS: do you like these winter wedges? They’re pretty amazing if I don’t say so myself.

I love fur (preferably faux). It is just about the sexiest thing you can wear when it’s freezing and you’re showing a miniscule amount of skin. images via pinterest

Next up for me, a muff. Remember those? After our epic snowstorm, I have a feeling I’m going to need it.

If you’re in need of a (faux) fur, look no further than these great local spots: grey dog | lola Or online: asos | etsy

Navy Gravy

I got navy tights. It’s about time. I feel like they’ve been missing from my wardrobe for a lifetime. Navy feels very fresh this season, don’t you think? Shout out to Ms. Darcy from Hello Luvvy for taking these pictures; she also posted this lovely recap of our (what is becoming a monthly) collaboration. Stay tuned for another glittering (hint!) project!
