Scarf, belt & jacket - thrifted, dress - Revival, shoes - vintage, brooch - Lovisa
Maybe it's just because I was lazy last night and didn't set my hair (well not lazy, I was up till 11 sewing!), but I have had this outfit hanging up on my rail* for about a week and today while I was wearing it I just felt very "meh".
I'm not sure how one manages to feel "meh" whilst wearing a 50's style dress which is covered in LOBSTERS. Don't ask me how that works. Maybe it's because it's Wednesday.
I do love this dress though, it is all kinds of rad. It had an attached belt with a bow on it but I ripped it off because it sat in a weird spot and I like matching my belts to my outfits on my own, thank you very much!
LOBSTERS.
*Yes, I am that kind of geek who puts outfits together and then hangs them on a rail ready to wear at some point in the future. Not even just for particular days or events. Just because.
Haha I do that too (the outfits being put together thing!). Love the lobsters, that dress is amazing!

That lobster dress is my favorite! ^_^ And the red blazer is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of this disappointments actually.
I think of an outfit and can't wait to actually wear it. But when I do wear it and take photos, it seems just plain boring and ugly :D Don't know why this happens!
This outfit is so far from meh it's coming back. That dress is INCREDIBLE! And I love the light dress/black belt contrast. I definitely get 'meh outfit' syndrome though - 90% of my life is blighted by it, in fact. But rest assured that the above rests comfortably in gosh danged awesome territory :)

haha I do the same! Sometimes an outfit just pops in my head and I have to hang it somewhere for an occasion! :) I also get that feeling every now and then, though I have to say your outfit is not "meh" at all! A lobster print dress?? That is the coolest thing ever, love it!
