All Dolled Up: Day to Night

This week for All Dolled Up Vanessa and I decided to shake things up a bit and play with day-to-night looks. 

From the brilliant mind of Vanessa Perilman:

I've always admired Alex's free spirit, calm sense of being, and her natural beauty (it makes her so darn fun to dress up). She is really like a little doll....hence why we named this blog feature: "All Dolled Up”

Day outfit: Inspired by the 70's

"Everything always goes back to the 70's" my mother used to say. It's true! What luxurious glamour and such freedom to wear what you want!!

Vest: Forever21 (Heritage 81) // Shorts: Free People // T-shirt: Splendid // Purse: vintage // Necklace: Amma beads (hug Amma) // Flats: vintage oxfords

Night outfit: inspired by Ol' Karl Lagerfeld 

I'm obsessed with 1930's bathing suit bottoms & the little shorts he does for Chanel every resort season, but lets be real, who can really afford a wardrobe full of Chanel? So we made the look for less. Nothing is more romantic and 70's feeling than cream-colored lace- so we paired a 2 piece ensemble of crocheted lace with a sharp black blazer opaque tights and simple black heels to gives it that elegant yet young, fun and super funky feel.

Blazer: Urban Outfitters // Crochet vest: Heritage 81 (Forever21) // Crochet lace shorts: Macy & Taylor // Tights: Gap // Shoes: Michael Kors // Purse: Chanel 

Vanessa’s outfit takes you back to a cottage in the Hamptons- wearing an old vintage Ralph Lauren striped dress, and adding a Levi’s jacket for that all American style.

Dress: Heritage 81 (Forever21) // Belt: vintage // Purse: vintage // Flats: vintage easy spirit oxfords.
