Style update- 2/4/2011 (Ballerina-inspired)



Again, sorry about the crappy picture, but I still haven't gotten around to getting batteries for the camera I inherited from my sister and I forgot to take a picture in the morning so that's why all the lighting's all artificial and nasty :(

But anyhow, this was my outfit today!! A quick rundown...

Jacket: Urban Outfitters

Shirt: Charlotte Russe

Skirt/head bow: Forever 21

Tights: Marshalls

Boots (as seen in last update): Bodyline

I wanted to wear these dusty rose-coloured ballet flats I got from F21 a while ago, but it ended up being too cold for flats and besides, the snow would've gotten all in my shoes!! (Here in New England there's been a TON of snow recently- we've had like five school cancellations since late January!!)

It may not be immediately apparent looking at this outfit (especially since the jacket is blocking my shirt- I was so cold!!) but it was supposed to be inspired by something you might see in a ballet costume. I had the tutu-like skirt, so I wanted to build an outfit around that. I tucked my shirt in (it's a scoop neck, black short-sleeved shirt) to the skirt so you could see the satin waist band. I'm not usually a fan of satin, but the skirt is gorgeous and the waistband actually really makes it!!

I wore this outfit to see the movie Tangled, which I thought was a great movie!! It made me literally laugh out loud a couple of times, which movies rarely make me do. The horse just killed me, too!! I loved it. :)

That's about all I have to say today. I realize this outfit isn't all that great (I didn't even have time to do my hair or anything before I had to leave!!) but as usual, constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!!

  1. I love it! The only thing that seems a bit amiss is the jacket...I would've tried matching the white on the boots with the jacket, since the black makes it seem more gothic than ballerina and the white is kinda out of place. I am no style role model though!
    Cute, as always :D

  2. Thanks for the tip and the lovely compliment Peaches!! :D
    I really do need to find a white jacket (or a jacket with more white in it) because I have so many things that would go well with something like that, but unfortunately every place is now stocking spring/summer clothes so I have to wait until next season to find a good colder-weather appropriate jacket >.<
