But only because Bootylicious and Cherrylicious sound the same.... we could make up some lyrics that would work though! How about:
I don't think you ready for this much Cherry
I don't think you ready for this much Cherry
I don't think you're ready for this
My outfits so Cherrylicious and so fab!
Thats enough singing for one day - time for some photos!
You see what I mean about Cherrylicious now right! There are cherries on my outfit, in my hair (not that you can see them in this shot), on my shoes...
These are shoes by Vivienne Westwood for Melissa Shoes.
And before you all go looking for a pair to buy, they don't make them anymore. They have become a bit of a collectors item and now sell for more second hand than they ever did new. I got lucky thought and found a pair in my size that had only been worn once. It was meant to be!!
... and on my bag...
How darling is this little vintage bag with plastic cherries on top! Also one of those meant to be purchases. I wasn't looking for it but it found me!
And here is the back of the outfit
Now, despite what it might look like, this isn't a dress. Its actually a fully boned strapless top made from this pattern:
And a circle skirt made from a circle skirt pattern! I thought this would make the outfit better and more wearable wardrobe wise. I can wear the top with jeans or capris or a different skirt, and I can wear the skirt with other tops! But today I chose to go to work (and to the uniform shop to buy new school uniform for my stepson) looking like this! The only difference is I'm not carrying the bag... its adorable and all but WAY too small to carry everything around in.
And for those of you that are dog people, here is a pic of me and the ever adorable Stella!
And before you get grossed out, no I'm not actually kissing her. I make kissy face and noises at her and she reaches out with her nose towards me. Somehow I trained her not to lick me or touch me.... I think its more the noise she is fascinated by....
Anyway! I have been making this outfit for a few weeks now in amongst cleaning and holidaying etc. Its not the kind of outfit that everyone will want to wear but I love it! Very over the top and very me. The only thing its missing is some matchy-matchy Lucy Luxxe jewellery...I'll have to work on that!
What do you all think? I'm crazy aren't I!
