| ~ whoa, I'm all striped up ~ |
First, I had this skirt under a dress with the vest on top. And then a light bulb went on. Hey, that would probably look much better if you just lost the dress. So I did. However, I did replace it with a top that happened to be striped too. Well, then I had to go with striped sox. Another accidental ensemble came out.
(The camera flash was accidentally on for this pix.)

Again, I've never worn these things together before. Even though they're made out of the same material! What is my problem? Am I blind? That's what MMM does for me. I get out of my routine of wearing the same things in the same ways.
So the skirt is from a Marcy Tilton Vogue 8637 pattern. The vest is from McCall's 7416 made rather large. It's so oddly shaped, I really like it. I believe I changed up the back a bit, but I can't really remember any more.

And that's really their name.
And they are.
It's about that time to link up with Patti at Not Dead Yet Style when she goes live later today. I'll also be joining Catherine's I Will Wear What I Like and Cherie's Shoe & Tell when they come on. Hope to see you there.
Stripes overlaid with stripes making shifting plaids. Allllright!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm just mesmerizing.
DeleteThat’s such a fun vest! Can’t believe I never saw that pattern before. Works perfectly with the skirt too. I’m really enjoying your MMM, pao!
ReplyDeleteI think so too, Louisa. I can't believe I hadn't thought to pair the two together before. duh. Thanks for your MMM support.
DeleteSo funky, so great. I need those shoes today!! xox
ReplyDelete-Patti
You can have them, or some just like them, Patti. Check out ebay right now!
DeleteUtterly fabulous and don't get me started on the shoes! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I know, the shoes are my beloved.
DeleteOh this is just absolutely stellar. I'm madly in love with this outfit. Something about it reminds me slightly of fashions of the 1910s, as well. Of course the shoes are dreamy!
ReplyDeleteDo you think it's the stripes? I'm thinking this is a good uniform to make again in other fabrics. Thank goodness for MMM or I might never have put it all together.
DeleteWell, I hope you're happy because as soon as I saw this vest I hopped to eBay and bought the pattern. Your MMM posts are costing me money! Seriously, an incredible outfit. I passed this pattern up when it came out but after seeing yours I changed my mind. Thank you for sharing all your makes with all of us, you are such an inspiration to so many of us!
ReplyDeleteOh my, corkpop, do show what you do with it. It's so nice when something really works out. I hope to make a match-up of these two patterns again. They really work well together, don't you think?
