I'm calling this look "1920's gangster meets fussy Victorian lady meets Jackie O. meets modern urban sophisticate." (Or "gangstertorian" if you like.) There's a lot going on with this outfit. Normally my outfits are simpler than this, and I felt a bit weird wearing all of these items together, but I think it works. (I could be wrong, though.) I definitely got a lot of stares when I went to the post office in this getup, which in Portland means I must be doing something unique.
My (fake) pearl necklace broke, so I just tied the ends together. Sometimes being cheap and lazy (read: not wanting to drive to Forever 21 to buy another $3 strand of beads) turns into resourcefulness, and I kind of like the knotted look.
The only thing I paid for myself in this outfit are the shoes. Gotta love family members who give me all kinds of clothes for free!
