Cruisin'

Sometimes when you are in a fashion rut, you need to go big and bold to break out of it. This look started with Kitten with a Whip hair from Clawtooth by Clawtooth, which is definitly hair with some altitude.



I love the retro style, but it was going to need an outfit that could hold its own next to such a statement-making style. This Baby Let's Cruise dress from Pin Up Dolls Boutique is perfect. I think it's both retro and modern, and you can't go wrong with a bright print for Spring. The liberal dash of sexy and elegant don't hurt either. Be warned-- you should only wear this outfit if you want every eye to be on you. Shrinking violets need not apply.



Clearly, such a look does not need a great deal of accessorizing. These Viva Glam color-change earrings are no longer available, but any basic hoop would do. The bracelet is from Fresh Baked Goods, and I chose white accented with red jewels to compliment the dress. My skin is from Gala, and I can certainly see what all the fuss is about! I love the many options you get in a fat pack for a very reasonable price. I chose the Pin Up set, but may have to pick up some of the others. They are truly lovely.

I'm grateful to Pin Upshaw (aka Anessa, aka Ket's sister, as most of you know) for sharing this dress with me. It gave me a much-needed shot in the armoire and re-awoke my passion for fashion this week. I'm off to cocktails on the Ledo Deck and then to prowl for some cabana boys.
