WIW - whimsical retro artistic eclectic

dizzys

So here is one of my first WIW posts. I am still struggling with what I can wear and I am still trifting for most of my clothing. This is the first time in my life that I I have tried belting over a sweater too. Belting is not my go to as I am short wasted and large busted. I am hoping it helped to turn my curvy rectangle into more of an hourglass.

I thik it hits my fashion descriptor but I always fear that I am dressing too young and not refined enough.

Belt: Macy's- Style co.
Shoes- Target-Merona ( I hated these until I lost a bunch of weight and now they are super comfy.)
Sweater- Kohles- Elle
Shirt and skirt - Thrifted

Edited for appropriate descriptors Thanks Angie

Whimsical indeed! The teal color and pattern mixing are right up my alley.

You definitely achieved an hourglass look! I love the teals. The camera angles make it a bit hard to see, but I think this looks great. I can see the "young" factor, but I don't think it's over the top.

Whimsical and retro for sure. Not seeing the bombshell in this outfit, but I am sure I will in other outfits.

Your shoes are just exquisite.

Arty eclectic hmmm? I guess I am confused a bit at all of the different styles. I guess I always thought the artistic style looks more like the photo here. But I can take that description. It fits since I work in the arts.....

Interesting. I see your outfit as arty eclectic, too! But not at all the photo you posted above. That's...costume.

Arty doesn't have to be along the lines of tempura paint and macaroni pictures, lol. You look great! Arty and whimsical in an elegant way.

Excellent pattern mixing! and wonderful use of color! I prop up my phone and use an app with a self-timer to get full-length shots, that would help with feedback, particularly on proportions.

Thanks Beth Ann. Just down loaded an app

Definitely helping with hourglassing, with the flare in the skirt. LOVE the colours and pattern mix, and the fun, flirty ruffles. How *did* you get the skirt border and shirt to match so well? That's very clever thrifting.

Mani thanks. I found the shirt first and the skirt came along a month or so later. Picked it up so quickly....this was the first time trying them together.
