The New and the Old Pleat

>> It's been a very pleat-themed, meshy (5 points to whoever chortles up the "Don't you mean MESSY, Susie?" comment first…) start to the week what with the Alpha 60 scarf antics and mesh dress stand-in.  These gloves that came into my possession courtesy of the wonderful Laura of Gloved Up combine the two.  They're a nude mesh opera-length fingerless glove, in true Gloved Up style and are adorned with white pleats that immediately made me want to play a game of matchy matchy with a VERY old Boudicca dress that has been run ragged on the top but the pleats still remain razor sharp and pristine white.  Of course given I have a habit of heavy petting grosgrain pleats, that could very well change.   And yes, I'm feeling all the suspender action going on… enough for me to dig out again, a very old H&M top that I bought when I was a wee bit too young to know what to do with the suspender clips… oh the naivety…

  1. 5 Points to you Carahh…. but did you actually mean it ay? You probably did…in which case, have a piece of virtual shortbread…

  2. LOVE the pleats! Someday I will make jewelry with that same feel and movement to it…

  3. i love how you can pull of the shoes.. my feet somehow always manage to look like stubs… its not exciting at all.. but i ove the dress!

  4. One word: DIVINE. BEYOND BELIEF. (OK, 3 words. I could go on but I think you get the idea.)

  5. well played susie! I’m loving the tight spandexy feeling in this outfit here, and that body suit or lavender garter/suspender thing is beautiful!

  6. those pleats are awesome. interesting use of garters, as always you win at underwear as outerwear, without that pesky ~sexy~. Fab!

  7. This is just a delicious feast of texture in an outfit. If I saw you walking down the street in that, it would seriously make my freakin’ day! The layering is fantastic and you look absolutely dandy.

  8. I absolutely love how the pleated skirt looks tucked behind the garter straps! You keep pushing the limits of fashion and it is so refreshing to load your blog and find something that I would never imagine and could only be birthed from your relentless musings and creativity.

  9. You look so cute on that outfit.Hope to see more from you,have a nice day.;D

  10. Wow! I love it! You’ve outdone yourself this time – how do you think up such fabulous outfits?! 🙂

  11. Susie, this outfit is perfect. Seriously.
    Have you looked into being a stylist ever? I think you have a very definite gift.

  12. Eep! I have that shirt with the suspenders! Oddly enough, I didn’t know what to do with it when I first bought it, either… I still don’t wear it half as wonderfully as you do. Great outfit!
