Barnes & Noble and their teen book fest this last weekend. It was pretty last minute and I agreed to do a thing because I happen to already be in the area for a morning event, so I figured it was no big deal to hop over.

Sorry this is the only picture anyone posted of my outfit as I forgot, as always, to take any myself.
I'm wearing a fitted button up black and white striped blouse (yes it goes over the Rack without a gap, it's one of those magic ones). I got it years ago, likely from Nordstrom Rack. But I've no ready source of good button downs for girls with a large Rack, aside from going custom on eShakti. Recommendations welcome. The sleeves on this one are a little tight but because the rest fits so well and it's vertical stripes I can't get rid of it.
I've paired it with high wasted red cotton pedal pushers (similar $50), black and white Via Spiga wingtip spectator peep toes pumps (similar $60), black vintage leather gloves (similar $30), and a little red headband (similar $10), and red bead necklace and earring set (similar $20).
I'm never sure about pedal pushers, but I like having a few pairs of trousers about, just to remind myself that my legs do, in fact, go all the way up.
Retro Rack is also on facebook where I post additional images and fashion thoughts.

The Look reminds me a bit of the late great Lauren Bacall in her non-Bogart movies. The pedal pushers show that your legs are endless like Taylor Swift's.
ReplyDeleteBTW did you wear your pen on chain? Don't see any jewellery.
