I LOVE peacocks!
All together now.
And if you were wondering how I braved the rain in that outfit....Well I was a little over ambitious. Once I walked out the door I realized I needed to quickly to modify the outfit a bit.

Look of the Day: Mrs Peacock with the Candlestick in the Conservatory
As fun as Clue is, isn't it kind of a creepy game!?? One thing I really like about blogging about my outfits almost daily, is that it forces me to be creative. Not that I wasn't creative before, but knowing I am going to spend my time taking pictures and posting them online inspires my thought process. Today's outfit is one that I call an "inventive outfit", meaning that I use a piece from my closet in a way I had not originally planned to use it as. I bought this Free People purple peacock dress back in the summer and I loved rocking it in the summer heat, but I never really thought of it as any beyond a summer dress. I do really love the details on it so I wanted to come up with a way to wear it in the winter as well. My idea was to make this not so basic dress more versatile, not just a one wear dress. So today I paired it with tights and long sleeves to make transform it into winter wear.

ReplyDeleteBUT YOU CALIFORNIANS DON'T KNOW WHAT COLD IS.
You come 'ere, and I'll show you cold! Ha!

Oh, and I am so happy you have that dress. Because I wanted that dress *so badly*, but couldn't figure out how to wear it, so. It makes me happy to see someone else I like rockin' it, and rockin' it well! I really like it with the tights and turtleneck!

I love it. And I think I actually like the boots more than the shoes with it-more wintery-which we don't get enough of here ;)
ReplyDeletelove this outfit amber! I love how you put a longsleeved t under - looks so cute! those shoes are awesome too
ReplyDeleteI love this, you look fantastic! I'm actually just tried this out myself and I'm putting a tank over a long sleeve shirt tomorrow, you inspired me! (And its perfect cause its one of my favorite tanks, but I couldn't wear it to school cause middle schoolers and cleavage don't mix - but problem solved!)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job putting this together! I love it! That dress is awesome. I wannnt it. It's one of those dresses that I see and think "That dress could change my life!" LOL!
