I salvaged the jumpsuit (which doesn't fit me above the waist) by using it as wide-legged pants. I pulled a top out of my closet that kinda sorta goes with it and added white heels and a scarf-belt. Surprisingly even though the outfit isn't impressive, creating it on the fly gave me real joy. I enjoy improvising.
It's obvious to all that I'm no influencer, just a simple gal trying to find happiness where I can. This is where I aim my efforts.
That's absolutely gorgeous, Ally! Your outfit reminds me of one of my vintage Barbie outfits from the early 1970s, and believe me, that is high praise coming from me! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSensational look! This is such a fab take on seventies style and a welcome jolt of sartorial cheer to boot. The abundance of orange is the perfect antidote to the lingering days of dark, icy winter weather.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a fabulous first weekend of March!

I agree! Thanks for the kind words.
DeleteLooking good and happy.
ReplyDeleteA classic example that when you have lemons you find a way to make lemonade
Exactly. I made orange juice. :)
DeleteI love this! It's delightfully ABBA-esque! I can see you swanning about at a cocktail party in the 70s, sloshing your martini around.
ReplyDeletePlaying in closet is one of my greatest pleasures! I'm so glad you experience that joy too, Ally.
Smart cultural references. They help me place this outfit in its proper setting. Thanks for the support (and education), chica.
Deletelove the color! And I can't say it's odd. It makes me mix feelings of hippies and disco and I love both. Also your makeup is so good! You definitely outshine my makeup progress
ReplyDeleteThanks, pal. I agree about that mix. It wasn't intended but ended up as the result. With the makeup, I was playing like a child and enjoy the outcome.
DeleteWhat a lovely bright colour. I like it a lot. It makes a statement. You look fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love this orange so much! It's so cheery! I love that you still found a way to make something work that didn't fit as you had hoped.
ReplyDeleteYes, the color carries the ball.
DeleteAw, I love this! So joyful, so vibrant! It looks like you a Spring in person :D
ReplyDeleteThat was a clever idea! It is a struggle to shop and not try on, but hey, many capsule wardrobe goddesses would be singing your praises.
ReplyDeleteTo quote my fav tv chef - "no unitaskers!" And a jumpsuit as pants is a great alternative when the first attempt didn't work out. I dig how your mind works.
Thanks, pal.
DeleteEverything about this makes you an influencer ❤️ And I say that as someone who works in influencer marketing 😊 love this look, Ally!
ReplyDeleteThanks, bud.
