Modern Vintage: Swing Skirt Closer Look

November 16, 2012

These shots come from my Swing Skirt DIY, which was posted earlier this week.  I adore this vintage printed corduroy that I used for this skirt! The jewel tones of the mustard skirt, turquoise blouse, and emerald ivy were too scrumptious not to share more from the shoot!

 

It’s incredible how a few simple things can be made quite magnificent in the right light, angle, and color/texture combination!

I look forward to shooting some more jewel toned items for The Shop in the coming week in preparation for the holiday season! I guess everyone will be buying all of their holiday party outfits pretty soon! I can’t believe it is already here! Maybe I will go into hibernation for the season–ahhhhhhh!

Bah-hum-bug!

Modern Vintage: Newly constructed, vintage inspired clothing with pieces/elements that are vintage. (Yes, I came up with this myself, but who knows, it could be a real term out there!)

Well, I finally did it! I added my upcycled pieces to a ‘Modern Vintage‘ section of The Curvy Elle Shop!

Here are the pieces that were added:
