Cirque de la Fille

Ah, it's been too long since I posted a coordinate. So I whipped one up for today! Happy July by the way, do you have any fun summer plans for this month? I hope I can go to the pool sometime!

Cirque de la Fille



I titled this one "Cirque de la Fille" which loosely translates to "The Girl's Circus." I've never taken any French, so this is going off of the Google Translator page. Circus prints are not common, so when I saw this Alice and the Pirates dress one day on Hellolace, I just had to use it in a coordinate. The print is gorgeous, it's made up of little circus acts in the diamond-shapes. The corsage clips off and can be moved to another part of the dress or into your hair. It looks like the dress is an overdress with an underskirt, but it's all one piece according to the other views. Usually I don't like the look of a corset top attached to a skirt, you know, how the top of the dress is separated from the bottom with the little ruffle, but on this I do like it. I really wanted to play up the circus theme of the dress, so I chose all circus-related jewelry to match! Elephants are so cute! The rest of the accessories are pretty simple and could be swapped out with whatever you have on hand. The blouse sort of disappears into the dress, so that the dress really stands out.

There are a few maitnence things I'd like to bring up also. First, there is a new poll on the side bar. Voting in them is really helpful to me, so please if you could vote that would be great. Second, no one entered my contest. I was hoping for lots of entries, but no such luck. We'll have to try something else another time. Thanks for reading!
