The inspiration: Emmy Rossum
My take:
"Pacific" lace tee, Hollister
embellished camisole, Charlotte Russe
denim skirt, Old Navy
bracelets: gifted, DIY, HauteLook
Lace and delicate sparklies in the same outfit - hmm, am I turning into a girly-girl? This is the camisole I wore under my wedding dress, and I was inspired to use it as an underlayer here. I usually wear this top buttoned, but I unbuttoned it to let the beads and sparklies peep through. Yay for real buttons with real button loops vs. the fake buttons I find so irksome on many items of clothing.
For some reason this outfit feels really beachy to me - I think it's the light blue of the camisole.
I haven't ever seen anyone wear a camisole under her wedding dress, but I decided that I'd be more comfortable with one, as my wedding dress had a low neckline. When I started hunting for the camisole I expected that I'd end up with something classically pretty, made out of ivory silk with lace edging, the kind of thing you'd find at Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom's. But on a whim I popped into a Charlotte Russe store (not a store I usually frequent) and this looked perfect. I had a large round sequin pop off when I first tried it on with my dress, but other than that the beading has stayed in place, although it doesn't appear to be securely stitched.
