It's the last week of the ModCloth Spring Fever Blogger Challenge! It has been a lot of fun (and quite the challenge!) participating and seeing our different takes on the looks. This week we were asked to style the Composition VII Hat. Did I wear it backwards? Is the bow supposed to go in the front? I'm not sure, but it's cute either way. I like that it has a vintage feel, but with a modern pattern. Be sure to check out how all three of the other gals styled it...I think this is our most diverse challenge yet! I decided to take it a little over the top, with the intense makeup, brightly hued top and a new Postlapsaria skirt. Sometimes it's fun to be over the top and break some rules. Dark eyes and lips...garish, but fun!
It has been inspiring to see how four different girls style each piece we were given. I'm sad it's over! When Turi asked me to participate, I was really excited - I love anything that forces me to get creative. It really helped me get out of my rut (and think outside of the suitcase), having a fun little challenge every week. Maybe I'll start doing something like this more often, only with items already existing in my closet. It will be a fun way to make sure I utilize all of my neglected garments.

ReplyDeleteMaybe it's with the help of the song title, but I'm definitely getting a strong 80s inspirational vibe from this outfit! and in a good bright shiny way, not in a horrendously hairsprayed hair way.
ReplyDeleteI like a little over-the-top make-up. I know they say you should only keep one or the other dark so not to overpower the other, but I like a little vampy look every once in awhile, y'know? I think you're totally rocking this look. :)

Dip-tea: yay! thanks!
ReplyDeleteCharmalade: thank you! And yes, there was a definite 80s inspiration here...when I was wearing this outfit, I had this song stuck in my head:)
there is definitely an 80s vibe here, but this also reminds me of old hollywood glamour. just gorgeous, keiko!
ReplyDeleteu look so freaking pretty jeeze love dat hat!!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic, and I love that you incorporated one of your own pieces into the look. You manage to look both ladylike and punky-- how is that possible?
ReplyDeletethat skirt is awesome, the shape is beautiful. looks great with the bright top.

You look so stunninng! What an amazing outfit!
ReplyDeleteYours has to be my fave. It's crazy how different the styling is though. It's bizarre cos when you have an challenging item you will always wear it in the same way and I love how this highlights the different ways!

i heart that skirt! :)
ReplyDeletelittle hats like that suit you. i love how you just went for the all-out girlie factor. its really cool.
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is so unbelievably amazing. I love the scalloped ends. And that pop of color from your top works so well with the outfit.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the gloves take the outfit from Old Hollywood glam to 80's punk-esque..It's amazing what a small accessory like gloves can do for a look! You look fabulous!

ReplyDeletejust discovered your blog and gosh! you have great style.
ReplyDeleteI never fell comfortable with heavier makup myself - don't think it looks good on my complexion and with my "style" . But I'm allways jealous of how it looks on you. and your skin looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outfit. Love how you matched everything here - pink and shape of skirt gives 80'ie look, but rich fabrics, black details and your styling keeps it very elegant.
Pretty outfit :)
