Fringe


Karen Kane open knit sweater (Macy's) // Lace and fringe dress c/o Sugarlips // H&M t-strap heels

We've just started The Great Gatsby in literature recently, so I decided to channel some of my inner '20s with this fringe dress! I really love the fashion of the 1920s with all the flapper dresses and such. This dress is lots of fun with the fringe, which adds great movement. I also love how it's in a creamy white color because it really reminds me of Uli's dresses from Project Runway All Stars. Do you watch Project Runway? I'm a huge fan, so definitely tell me all about your favorite designers and looks! On a side note,  this dress also works great as a layering piece when worn as a top under a sweater or shirt. I found this out unintentionally while changing. I was putting on a pair of pants and hadn't yet taken off the dress or sweater. The dress became partially tucked into the pants, and it didn't look too bad when I checked in the mirror. So I tucked the dress in so that only the fringe peeped out under the sweater, and I actually really liked the look! Just an idea if you have a similar fringe dress. :) This might be hard to imagine so I might do an outfit post eventually to better show what I mean.

xoxo, Elly

    I so envy that you can wear these soft light clothes right now! It's -13' in MN right now...missing sandals and bare legs :) Oh and as for Project Runway...I was pretty happy with the season that finished last week too, but think Emilio should have won for sure!

    You're the second blogger I know who's starting reading the Great Gatsby! Hehe, I guess everyone's school schedules are pretty similar. I hope you love the book as much as I did! You're definitely channeling the 20s here with that fringe... and I love that mint color!

    Loving your outfit! I hope the 20s make a comeback soon :)
    I read The Great Gatsby in class last year. I wasn't a huge fan of how it was written but I liked the storyline. I hope you enjoy it!

    Thank you for commenting on my blog and following! I love your style! Count me in as a follower! And yes, I love project runway. I think Laura (with five kids?) and Kendy are my all time favorites. Kendy's white wedding dress was fantastic!

    Hahaha, I'm jealous that you're able to rock the bare legs look right now, it looks so nice and sunny and warm there!

    That skirt is just all kinds of awesome, I love the fringe and the overlay pattern on the skirt, it's so different and special looking and it just makes the outfit. (It's actually pretty cool to see the crochet sweater with it, the texture of the two really bounce off of each so well.)

    I love how minimalist and chic those heels are. They add such a classy element to this. And your skirt brings so much fun! The fringe looks so flowy, I bet you had fun twirling in it! And yes, the Narnia series is great if you like fantasy/adventure books :)

    I really like how you're always changing up your style. Definitely something that I never would've even thought of, but now I want to try on fringe!
