Day 21

Fabulous on the Inside

For all those that loved my do the other day, it was indeed not the second coming of Emma Watson but merely one of my “incognito” wigs. But man – do I love having a cool and cropped bob!

Seeing that it’s yet another soggy morning, I’ll just have to look fabulous on the inside – and experiment in new ways today. This time I’ve done something you have not seen before with this dress, but my fashionable LBD forerunners have already exhibited: Wearing the LBD completely backwards!

I LOVE how this dress cut looks like a totally different 50s shape from the front and the back. I paired that with a hand-crocheted cream collar that my Grandmother lovingly made for me specifically for this LBD moment. Instead of keeping my bob I decided to wear a precious little pony with a most fabulous headpiece created by Emily Clark Millinery. Paired that with white vintage gloves from my late Great Grandmother, a black Carasan Designs belt, B&W bow-tie anklets from Stockingirl and shiny patent leather Franco Sartos.

Tres chic! The collar is such a simple idea, but it really changes up things. Grandmother did a beautiful job!

I had a backwards birthday party when I was young – of course none of our 4th grade dresses came close to your lbd – they just looked, well, backwards! I love love love the hat!
