icey blue


i've been wondering how to wear white tights without looking like a figure skater. after much deliberation i ended up with this. i couldn't decide what to wear over this dress, (i think it needs a cape or a fancy fur coat which are sadly absent from my closet) so i opted to stay inside for today's outfit pictures. jack frost is out in full force and i really need some thick wool socks or i'm sure i'm going to end up with some terrible frost bite. i'm off to check out the army navy store and see what they got. 

fur hat: thrifted in tokyo, pearls: my mom's, blue dress: vintage, clutch: vintage, tights: hue, heels: vintage

somewhat inspired by this sweet little Soviet era animation!


found from here

oh, and a big thank you to emma, lexie, and katie & erin
for their generous awards!

  3. You look nothing like a figure skater at all! Your look works perfectly, and the color of that dress is great on you.

  4. I'm always afraid of looking too childish in white tights - I've paired them (successfully?) with a dark blue dress & a black one. They would look good with a white skirt too, if you have one.

    Thanks for the cute video (er, study break!)

  5. Such a pretty blue and I think it goes nicely with the white tights. Good job, you! Also, the hat is vair vair awesome and although I don't think I could pull it off, it looks great atop your head.

  34. Great look. I love white tights, I love the whimsical Alice in Wonderland-esque vibe you can get with them. Never know what to wear them with, though!

  35. white tights are easier to do that I thought, which was that it could only be a summer thing, or only worn with light colored items. I think what it really comes down to are the shoes that they're paired with.

    :D
