Modern Culture

This post is all about this amazing vintage tunic I swapped from my mom.  My mom recently had an amazing weight loss, so alot of her clothing she is either tailoring or donating. While at the seamstress, I saw this beautiful number come out the bag for alterations...that wasn't happening.  I had to have it, as is for myself.  Mom gave it to me and she keep the matching maxi skirt for herself. So now on Mother/ Daughter Day we can dress alike!!!  I wore it oversized with a cardigan, and I belted it for a different look.  Which do you prefer??

Steel Blue

This outfit went on a whirlwind ride around Memphis with me last Sunday.  I first wore it to church, then to a meeting, and finally to the Memphis City Beautiful's Curb Couture trashion show.

The Memphis City Beautiful trashion show was a blast in a half.  I have never been so entertained at a fashion show in my life.  As kids we all learn to recycle, reduce, and reuse; but when you talking about taking "trash" and creating fashion...now that's an attention grabber. And that was the sole purpose of the show- to introduce the repurposing of what some may consider trash, and make trashion

When I wore this outfit for some reason I felt like a little kid.  Maybe it was the oxfords with the ribbons as laces, so I changed into my heels when we went out to dinner that night.  This outfit also has a lot of details that I like. Obviously the sleeves of the shirt, but I also love the draping of my wrap skirt.  It's all so unique.
