It’s a twofer
Jump to Comments
Your grade two teacher wore something very similar to this, didn’t she?
Long skirt, exceptionally shoulder-padded shirt — it’s a foolproof combination, isn’t it? So classic. So vintage.
My favourite thing about a twofer is that you can treat the separates as separates and wear them, well, separately.
All I needed to do with the blouse was remove the shoulder pads and it was ready to rock.
Easy peasy.
And all I needed to do with the skirt was take it to the tailor’s (D.I.Y. is so easy when you have someone else D.I. it for you).
So how did the skirt turn out? Who knows! It’s still at the tailor’s. But I’ll let you know as soon as I do.

A tailor, not diamonds, really is a girl’s best friend eh? The blouse looks great!

I have to agree with Jordana up there, if I could have my own personal tailor/seamstress (ooh and maybe free dry cleaning), I’d be set for life lol. The floral print on that two-piece is stunning. I love the bright colours, very spring/summer. You’ll def get a lot of wear out of it too esp with the separates. It looks great with your cuffed jeans and rolled up sleeves. I can’t wait to see how the skirt looks!

It’s true! I think the original outfit actually DID belong to my second grade teacher.
As always, love your work. xo

You look like a beautiful piece of walking art.

You always have such a great eye for vintage pieces and their potential. The blouse looks terrific the way you’ve styled it.

Haha Amazing. I agree with Lisa, you are so good at seeing the potential in these pieces. I would have giggled at this outfit and walked away, yet you are able to turn it into such adorable outfits.

Love the colors of this combo! Granted, I think wearing both at once is a little overkill, but seperately they’re gorgeous! Can’t wait to see how the skirt turns out…

That’s an amazing top with amazing colours. It’s perfect for the summer and bringing much colour to this city!

You rock that shirt that I’m sure not many of us could get away with wearing!! It looks so cool on you.

[...] But I find separating separates to be very effective (see the blouse here). [...]
