I think this outfit looks a little better IRL... Or is that just an excuse, lol?

In any event, something about the boots, skinnies, flowy top, and emblematic belt makes me feel like I've stepped out of a b/w comic. In a good way. I also got a compliment on my rear, which is... Better than a criticism.

The taupe boots are more visible in this light, but I have also attached a close up.

Ceit, it would be super easy to make! I will post a pic of what it looks like laid flat when I get home.

Gosh Rae, you're killing it here. Did you do the draping of the tee yourself? Love the combination of colors - and the belt and boots are gorgeous.

Thanks Rae!

I bet the draping on the tee is even more interesting IRL. You look great!

What a great look! That draped tee is fabulous... and only a buck? I can hardly believe it. Sounds as if you have some amazing flea markets out by you. Nothing like that in Connecticut. Love your boots.

Wow, this is so subtle and so gorgeous. You look fantastic in the draped tee, and I am dying over those boots. Also love the belt. Everything is so harmonious.

Very understated and luxe. The belt, bag and boots steal the show. Love it!

That tee is awesome! I totally want to see how it's made. Maybe you can bring it to the OC meetup.

You look fantastic.

I like!!
I go nuts when Tees get all twisted, you know when the side seam is near your navel. This Tee shows how to be twisted!

It looks like some ironkurtin would wear. I hope that's a compliment.

Ceit, here is what it looks like laid out flat. If I had a serger, I'd consider making another one myself!

I am saving this link in my favorites; maybe my seamtress can copy this T-shirt from the flat pic!

You look gorgeous! (Not only this outfit, but also the indie bob!)

Rae, like everyone else I am super in love with this top! I am studying the pic and am going to have a go with making a template! (when I get a spare few hours of course...perhaps after Christmas )

Can I just ask though, are you wearing a cami poking out from underneath in the picture or is the more ruched bit by your left arm all part of how the top lies?

Anonymous

You look great; very superhero-like I'm very intrigued by the flat shape of that tee, so unusual.

Thanks Rae! I need to experiment with this now is the left square side sewn up to almost the top to make an arm opening?

Fashion superheroine, for sure.

I can see why you said superhero (and why you got the compliment) - you look fantastic and what an interesting tee!

I had missed the latest questions... MM, I am not wearing a cami, and Ceit I think you are correct. The one armhole comes from one side not being sewn all the way closed.
