It's finally starting to feel like fall here! There's a bit of a crispness in the air in the mornings and evenings, so I have begun to layer a bit. I paired my favorite sweater with one of my favorite dresses, and I love the result! However, I realized I don't have much in the way of coordinating accessories, so I kept it simple with a matching headscarf, Coptic cross necklace, and my new lucite bag.
(The headscarf also covered my freshly-permed hair, which had not been properly pin curled and was pretty crazy.)
My grandma found this lucite purse in a flea market, and because it has a bit of a crack on the back it was cheaply priced. Well, I won't let a tiny crack keep me from a well-priced, fabulous purse! It's still totally useable and will be worked into my outfits this fall.

Lured by the purse but transfixed by your dress. Those rouleaus!! You must have the patience of a saint!
ReplyDeleteThey did take a while, but it was better than the THREAD LOOPS the pattern suggested! Crazy talk.
DeleteThis is such a fabulous early autumn outfit Emileigh. So delightful, and the color combination reminds of chocolate and strawberries. :D

ReplyDeleteDeeply beautiful outfit! Brown + red is one of my favourite colour pairings ever. I sport it often in the fall, too, frequently with gold or mustard yellow thrown into the equation. You look terrific, dear gal!

Great outfit. Love the red with the brown!
ReplyDeleteI love the button loops on your dress ~ I think that's such a great vintage touch that looks so intricate and special! Plus, that lucite purse is something else; it's gorgeous. What a great find! ❤
