this is not a dress


H&M lace corset top + chiffon skirt, vintage shoes

Nope, not a dress! I bought these two peachy keen pieces at different times and H&M locations but it seems like they were just meant for each other. I have this skirt in navy as well and am currently on the lookout for a cute white tube top to pair it with! Oh god, I am so ready for summer. I'm planning on living in floral rompers, light bleached jeans, and loose white tops. And a bunch of other things I can't picture at the moment because the only things I can think of are finishing this paper and frozen yogurt from the Yogurtland that just opened. And the shrimp burrito from cactus that I will be eating in approximately eight hours. And the sandwich from Ike's that I will be eating in two days. Not going to lie, I spend way more money on food than I do on clothes.

(Oops, food tangent. Two more outfit shots instead of my tired face because the first two don't do the skirt justice.)

You really look stunning in that, before I read I also thought it was a dress. With your height you can pull of clothes like that so well!! :) My sister doesn't have a blog but she enjoys your tumblr & blog VERY MUCH. Just thought I let you know... ;)

Beautiful skirt! That colour is amazing.

alice said...

You look gorgeous!

THE CAT'S MIU said...

okay, i'll start off by saying WOW you look amazing in cream/peach.

second, i would like to say that putting these two items of clothing = genius.

and lastly - by far the most depressing - is that WE BOTH HAVE THE SAME SKIRT BUT MINE GOES BASICALLY DOWN TO MY ANKLES! so embarrassing, and really depressing. man, you're tall! or i guess i'm just short. poo.

oh, and just to throw it in there: you have great great hair. but you've already been told that i'm sure!

Ashley said...

What a beautiful outfit! The light in the photo makes it look so ethereal. Love your hair, too!
