Happy EBEW day! Today completely snuck up on me. I was laying in bed last night, and decided to check the EBEW site for any updates. Much to my surprise, I found out that today was EBEW day! I panicked for about 30 seconds before I realized that the theme is colored tights, and I wear colored tights almost every day. To be honest, I was a little disappointed in this challenge. Not that I don't love colored tights - I totally do. But that's part of the problem. I LOVE colored tights. Styling them isn't a challenge for me. But, I guess you win some and you lose some.
I've also decided that I really hate taking photos indoors. I just can't get my camera settings right and all the photos turn out really weird looking. Hopefully I'll get used to it soon, what with winter creeping around the corner.
This is a first-time-wear for this gorgeous vintage dress. I love it to death, but it's super short! I didn't want to wear it in the summer, because it definitely needs some tights with it to add a little more coverage. But it's such a light, summery dress that it feels strange in winter. I think I pulled it together pretty well, though, tonight. It will be a fun challenge to style this more often.

Absolutely LOVE the shoes! What a find! I wear a lot of colored tights too so this wasn't as challenging as some of the other challenges. I like how you "grounded" a summery dress with heabier, darker pieces. What a great way to extend the use of one season's clothes.
ReplyDeleteI'm also hating taking indoor photos. They don't turn out very well. I don't like the lighting in mine. Let me know if you learn any tricks.
i think this is one of my favorite outfits on you. in fact, i kind of want to replicate it for myself! the tights add the perfect pop to the whole outfit!
ReplyDeleteLove this color combo! Just found you from EBEW and I will def be back :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really great. That dress is beautiful and I think you made it feel much more fall/winter by adding the dark green cardigan. And the tights? Totally a color choice that I wouldn't have thought of with this outfit, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is absolutely stunning!
