Playing dress up!

[Curious]

Thanks Tine I need to hear that about the leggings! Funny... I like them too and I think they look great on others, but when I go to where them out, I'm always a bit hesitant. I need to make like Nike and Just Do It

Auddie - agree! Fabulous coat! I don't know what this Value Village is, but I sure wish they'd open one near me. You have the cutest stuff from there

 

[Tinetush]

Haha yes, do it! Well you should wear them. They do look really great on you.

I used all second-hand stuff to do this.. I had fun...

And these were my accessories..

Oh how fun.

I like to dress up as Edie Sedgwick - my upstairs computer is dead now so I can't download the photos onto a file and put them on here - so pictures will be on hold. I look very eerily similiar to her.

When I saw this thread, I just couldn't resist. Playing dress up is like my mantra everyday! Of course, there are some things that I wouldn't wear to pick up groceries or anything like that. These are outfits that I might not wear out not because I'm not brave enough, but going on the tube cud be difficult with these get-ups:

I love the blurriness of this picture.

Can you see my serious pout?

I'm wearing:
Uniqlo stripey top
Black and white poofy dress (Ebay) I love the sounds the tafetta skirt makes...it's all rustly and swishy!
Vintage silver and white belt (Peekaboo)
Grey hi-top pointy sneakers (LCX@HK)
Grey 'rasta' woolen hat (HK)
Pearls

The next one revolves around the shoes really. I love these shoes to bits, but the 5" heel is a bit too high for me to handle so they've just been sitting on my shelf:

They look really bad in this picture, but they are so gorgeous! Dark metallic colours in stripes all with a platform heel.
I'm wearing:
Topshop navy sequin cape
Vintage gold slip dress (Beyond Retro)
Black butterfly belt (MMW=My Mother's Wardrobe)
Petrol leather gloves (MMW)
and of course the lovely shoes from Shelley's (who would have thought I'd find nice shoes there of all places )

Wow....that was really fun dressing up........now I have to put on some black pumps and go to work....damn.....

[Curious]

Yay Susie!! How fun

If I can have my say, I think you should wear them out Love the gloves... love the shoes... the bubble skirt... the poses... all fantastic!

Urd - looking forward to your dress up

You have pretty eyes!

 

[Ninja Pirate]

Susie Bubble, I LOVE both outfits, especially the second one! The gloves and everything look so quaint!

 

[susie_bubble]

Thanks ninja! Dressing up is definitely way more fun than putting on boring suits for work. I'm waiting for the rest of you ppl to do the same! Pics! Come on!

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

Oh, they're both wonderful, susie.
That black and white dress and those shoes are especially brilliant
I bought one of those capes in green for a euro and I love it. Not in topshop however.

I really want to dress up right now, but I can't.

same outfit, different hat. I always buy hats, but I never wear them..

 

[indie]

My secret habit is to dress up as a lolita

pretty fun

 

[susie_bubble]

Hats are the ultimate in dress up! I wish I was brave enough to wear a big floopy hat out.

 

[Scott]

I wish I could dress up but it's been too hot to wear heavy things right now and I really have nowhere to go in anything.

I actually found a cheap vintage rabbit-fur coat the other day in a thrift shop and I cut away some bits from it...made a very odd looking stole out of one piece which I'm wanting to attach to my black witchily destoryed mac.

Hope nobody here is against even vintage fur because that's the only kind I'd buy.
