outfit post: Lady Be Good


 Old Timey Limey. 
  Dixieland on the Delta. 
  She Wore Seersucker in Sacramento. 
 
  You name it, and I sang it.



 The last days of August have me wearing the last of my summer wardrobe. I am packing up my summer clothes and transitioning into Fall. So goodbye summer whites and brights, farewell seersucker and linens;  until next spring- Lady be good!
Now Wearing: 
  • vintage straw hat, Crimson & Clover
  • clear sunnies, Target
  • skull print corset top, Prevues
  • thrifted seersucker shorts
  • gingham fabric sash
  • polka dot purse, Goodwill
  • Victoriana booties

That corset top is so gorgeous! I'll be sad to see your Summer wardrobe go - you're pretty much my biggest style inspiration for my upcoming Summer.

I absolutely love that sugar skull corset--totally something I would wear. I love things that have a sexy shape but an unexpectedly fun print.

I cannot wait to transition into autumn wear, but i live in a very warm place, so still in hotpants and tank tops most of the time... hiwever cannot believe it's September already, summer went by so quickly, way too quickly xxx

This is quintessential Citizen Rosebud...fun, interesting touches, whimsical aura and an air of old fashioned femininity. Nobody does it like you girly!!! Hugs! ~Serene

Killer top you got there. And the hats, boy oh boy do I love your hat collection.

Are you as sad to see summer go as I am?

Patti said...

So feminine and so cool - I love the way you put your looks together. We have summer for another month or two, but I am itching to dress for fall.

This outfit makes me think you are going to tea with the ladies and then promptly to CBGB's or Gilman to mosh it up!

My god I just adore that hat so much and the corset top reminds me of Vivienne Westwood - such an amazing outfit, it looks celebratory. You are heavenly Bella! xoxo

Can't wait to see you welcome Fall in style!
I wish we had proper Fall here......we somehow see the Summer heat getting drenched out by the Monsoon rains, which fizzle out making way for the chill of the Winter!
