I happened to pass by one half of my freshman year (high school) homecoming dress just sitting there… and decided to throw it on. Then I remembered a long time ago when MK wore this to an event:
(via hot minute)
Except I didn’t look up the photo beforehand and I should have tucked in the shirt and borrowed a cross necklace from the studio. I probably will wear this again sometime with the cross, and maybe I’ll even dig up a bag! I borrowed this bracelet for the weekend, it’s a sample so I think there’s actually only this one. I think it’s pretty cool but it was never put into production.
Anyone working on the FBFF Awards right now? If you’d like to promo someone for a category let me know in the comments. There are so many wonderful FBFF bloggers that I don’t really know who to nominate! But come back tomorrow and check– one of them could be you!
Love,
Alex
J.Crew shirt, LOFT belt, Jessica McClintock for Gunne Sax (what a throwback) skirt, b-side by ken + dana sample bracelet, HUE tights and Target boots under there somewhere.
If you’ve gotten this far (sorry, long) can you see my favicon? It keeps going on and off and it’s driving me nuts. I don’t know what to do. I even uploaded it directly into my main directory. What is going onnnn maybe I’m just going crazy?

Is it bad that I only saw the title of your post and the very top of the first picture, and I totally knew which Mary-Kate outfit you were talking about??? Hahahahahaha
But in all seriousness, I think the formal dress idea is awesome. Hmmm…it’s got me thinking….
Alex Elizabeth says
No it’s not bad, I think practically everyone saw that photo because it went viral online. You should definitely try one of your formal dresses for regular wearing, I’d love to see it!

The icon is on. I tried to do a favicon, but it was an epic fail.
It’s fun that you are finding a legitimate way to wear a formal occasion dress again. that almost never happens.
Alex Elizabeth says
Thank for telling me, it seems it works in firefox but not much else :( and I can’t figure out why. Favicons are such a pain, even the wordpress plugins don’t work all the time.
I’m trying with that skirt, although I admit the fabric really isn’t right for day though. You can really tell how formal it looks outside in natural light.

I can’t see your favicon :((
But I loove your outfit! And the bracelet is amazing..a bit goth (which I love, btw :) )
Alex Elizabeth says
Thank you, I like the bracelet a lot too. Poo about the favicon though, it doesn’t seem to be working for everyone :(

You did the inspiration look justice! Lovin’ the maxi skirt.
