Fall Fashion Challenge {Day Five}


Once again, I had to be my own photographer, and these pictures aren't top notch... my apologies =)



{Day Five} of the Fall Fashion Challenge.
Today's challenge is polka dots.

Polka dots + me = happy.

I decided to combine yesterday's challenge, a favorite fashion era, with today's.  Now, pretty much any era is my favorite when it comes to fashion... I love historical fashion, period.  Well, before, say, the 70's.  After that, I'm just not diggin' the threads.

Anyways, I went with the 50's for this outfit, because, to add to the equation above, 
Polka dots + pearls + big hats + The Grey Sweater + me = very happy.
And that's so 50's!
I also added the challenge from day two, which I also missed: unusual color combinations.  Navy & grey are definitely new for me=)  I love it!



I waited too long to get this done today, and the lighting was pretty bad in the tent - the only good one is below=)  So, I went out on the front porch, which is full of wood, kindling, and more wood at the moment.  Though not nearly enough... =)





The Grey Sweater - Amazon.com .... Floral tee - thrifted .... Navy polka dot half circle skirt - thrifted
Leather belt - thrifted .... Petticoat - made by me .... Black pumps - gift
Pearls - gift .... Black fleece-lined tights (So warm!:) - gift
Vintage navy hat with ostrich feathers - thrifted (I'll get some better pictures of it soon=)

Well, we still don't have any snow to speak of, but it's just around the corner...

 Happy trails, and keep warm, dears!

  4. Ooh, your outfit is wonderfully '50's, and your photos play with that so well! I love that you combined three challenges at once. Brave lady!

    (Also, the name of your blog cracks me up. It makes me wish that I could A. play the accordion, and B. travel back in time so I could steal the idea!)

    Sounds like my brother. I make a joke, and he groans...or pretends to smack me, LOL. Must be a brother-thing. :-P
