Hello Dolly





Vintage skirt from etsy, homemade bow and ring, thrifted blouse, hand-me-down sweater

I got this vintage skirt for christmas from my parents (I may or may not have sent them a link). When it came, it turned out it was a little too big, so I got it tailored. It made me think about how much I love having clothes that are one-of-a-kind and customized to fit me perfectly (usually I prefer to do the tailoring myself, but I didn't want to mess up the accordion pleats on this skirt). I'm slowly but surely building a wardrobe that is completely perfect for me, in terms of both fit and aesthetic.

I kind of felt like a creepy porcelain doll in this outfit. The colors and textures look old and musty, but the silhouette is childlike. dualitieeeeeeees

P.S. How many times have I used the word "aesthetic" in my last few posts? A really annoying number, I'm sure. My bad.
