Unicorn Hair & Pirate Flair

OK, let's start with the top...you guys have seen me wear shirts made by my grandmother before, but this top stands out to me because it reminds me somewhat of the pirate shirt from the Seinfeld episode in season 5 called "The Puffy Shirt".  When my grandma first asked me if I wanted it, I instantly thought back to Seinfeld and wondered how I would make it work...it's over-the-top bright (so bright that you can't even see it in the photos, really) and the sleeves are beyond puffy.  But, I just feel like it's appropriate with this blue velvet skirt.  I mean what pirate doesn't wear velvet, right?

Oh, and the pink clip-ins...this also goes back to my grandma.  When she was here visiting a few months ago we found them in UO after I told her I wanted to be a unicorn for halloween.  For some reason I correlate unicorns with pink hair.  Anyways, I didn't get to do the whole Unicorn thing because of the move, but maybe next year..



Top: Vintage (made by my grandma- Similar here & here)
Skirt: c/o Chicnova
Jewels: Bracelets: Similar here & here; Earrings: Tarina Tarantino for KidRobot (love these!)
Clutch: Kawaii Kistch
Shoes: Christian Louboutin (Similar)

Get the look here:



I hope you all have a great weekend!!
AND if you live in the LA area and you don't have plans for Saturday, why not come to the Eagle Rock Block Party & celebrate Small Business Saturday?  Many small businesses will be open including my sweet friend, Leanna's shop, called Leanna Lin's Wonderland, AND I'll be having a trunk show with my Kawaii Kitsch items!!!  This is my first show so I'm so, so excited!!  I hope to see some of you there 
:)

  72. Hey I'm all for the puffy shirt! For some reason, I always associate velvet and puffy shirts with vivienne westwood. How fun are your pink details. Yes you definitely need to be a unicorn next year, I can't wait to see how that turns out.

  73. OMG more VELVET!! Yay, I love the royal blue color and the cut of the skirt, it's absolutely perfect. As far as pirates go, no I don't believe the velvet was too attractive to them, especially all the upkeep it would require with all the salty spray hitting up their velvet whenever they're on deck. Haha. As I'm typing this I'm listening to Alex Winston singing Velvet Elvis, pretty awesome!
