Butterflies

[purplelucrezia]

I don't love all of these, but they needed a space for themselves.

The outfits are from Blumarine...

The headress on the left is from elsewhere, I forget the designer.

Butterflies can be cute, but honestly, I am not too crazy about butterflies as accessories for me. They can easily turn tacky (think Valentino).

Japanese street style- they love going to extremes.

Ugh... The butterfly trend... Please make it go away.

Some of the stuff is fun to look at.. but to wear is a diff. story.

Remember the time when plastic butterfly pins were EVERYWHERE..... Worst nightmare I've ever had.

 

[Kimkhuu]

Hair pins I meant.

Yup, I've actually never been an enormous fan of butterflies myself.
But what must be done...

It's Philip Treacy....

Personally, I don't love butterflies. They can be cute but sometimes they get a little too cute, it's just like enough!

The best use of butterflies imo, Dolce and Gabbana

I remember the picture from when I first became more interested in fashion.

It's a cute headpiece isn't it? Totally unwearable but cute!

 

[purplelucrezia]

Not a straight-out butterfly, but the forms are similar.

Thanks for all of your finds Spike!

I think butterflies in general are hard to pull off, which is strange seeing as such a beautiful creature often becomes tacky in fashion.

Being poor, I could only afford the Victoria's Secret butterfly stilettos, wich are exactly like the ones in the first post, without the laces.. I feel cheeted!! But I am just ingnorant. Sometimes, when you can't buy stuff is better to not see.
Haven't worn them yet, summer is just starting here, but I tried them on and my bf went !! So, I think it looks hot!

Saw on a shoe book an antique chinese shoe form last century that have a butterfly just like the ones posted in 1st message, and like the ones I bought. Wasn't stilettos though.
