Went to see the community ballet do its thing. Mask mandates have ended, but you had to wear a mask, show your vaccination card, and the seating was social distanced. Someone found an old ballet at the Paris opera or something that they restaged - a sorcerer floats around the sea on a porcelain island turning trespassers into porcelain dolls. An amusing premise! There were men in suits, which was quite lovely to see and one statuesque lady in a standout sweeping, engine red patterned coat dress. I wore these old booties, because so little chance to wear them these days. Dressing crazy like always :)

Hooray for going out on the town again, and dressing up! Your style is so beautiful and whimsical at the same time. Those booties are great with the dress. Modern, hip and unique Alice in Wonderland.

Wowza! Au contraire to Howard Stern and his decor, I can easily picture this outfit in a French provincial setting. I’m getting Marie Antoinette vibes ( in the best way possible) ….let’s have some cake!

WOW, this is amazing! French shepherdess meets punk rocker! I absolutely love this on you. The fringes on the jacket are just brilliant with your hair. What a great outfit.

This outfit feels very you, which I mean in the best way.
And wait - is that a puffy jacket you managed to find as a fuzzy jacket as well? Your puffy jacket finding skills are on point.

KILLER with the jacket! Fashion forward fun :)
The booties match the jacket beautifully.
Rocker Punk Bo Peep with a hint of '70s FTW!

I’m glad y’all enjoy the outfit :D The dress is seersucker and I had to laugh looking at the pictures and the puffer… because really I have a lot of them, for every occasion, and still I want more!
I was thinking I should try taking two hours to dress like when I was a teenager. Try for more coiffing… one day… :)

And yes, Bo Peep, Alice in Wonderland and Marie Antoinette are my fashion idols … and Deborah Harry… hehe :)

Amazing, you have the best style, this outfit is inspired! Whilst Bo Peep has never been high on my style references, Alice in Wonderland was a childhood hero and Debbie Harry a hero of my teens.

Stagiaire Fash replied 1 year ago
Did Debby Harry ever get so arch and ironic in her looks? I think of her as very straight-on: “Call me!” with serious punk looks to match.

Yayy, dressing up for outdoor events - can't even remember what that feels like, lol! I like how you're wearing 'ballet' colours, but you add interest to it with the texture in your jacket & shoes :)

So good to be able to ‘go out’, isn’t it? You look perfect for the ballet.

rachylou replied 1 year ago
It’s Deborah Harry’s RATE hair that identify with most :)
