Last summer I bought a deadstock Carole Little resort rayon separates set, circa 1980. The colors were bright and the prints charming and I imagined wearing the loooong skirt as a strapless dress. Well this summer that skirt fits a bit snug, and the strange little top, which I had never considered, somehow tricked me in trying it on. And odd thing was: I liked it. I'm not sure why, except that it hangs exceptionally well, and reminds me of a Picasso painting.
Now Wearing:
- vintage '80's Carole Little rayon top, Thrift Town
- thrifted shorts, Thrift Town
- black leather flats, Target
- vintage red leather shoulder bag, Salvation Army
- Porkchop Rules, zodiac ring, Crimson & Clover
- Sunglasses from Target

I think that's the sort of thing you wear when you want to be happy. All those bright colors have got to put a smile on your face!
!!!!!!!fantastic !!!!!!
i love the color blast so much! Bella, this is such a fantastic jacket! and i love picasso too - his works are a pure state of art!
Awesome colours on the blazer!! :)
this totally channels picasso! :)
It is quite beautiful and unique.
Thank you for your compliments. The shirt is funny. A bit bright for my taste but strangely charming. It's a top that is a mock jacket over a black base, a one piece. I should wear the skirt so you can see it in its' Carole Little '80's glory.
So glad you got to wear it. The colours are so wonderful together.
I think that top is fabulous! I agree, it resembles a Picasso and you look like a work of art wearing it!

Oh my gosh I remember that line. Carol Little. What happened to it? Oh hey, and what is "dead stock"?
Heather, you've inspired me to do a future post about Carole Little.
"Deadstock" is vintage that has never been worn with tags still on it. New "old" clothes.
the jacket. yes. kick ass.
What a great top! It looks fantastic on you.
