Beetlejuice Suit

Image
So, imagine this. But like, in a cheaper, thinnish poly satin from Walmart way, stripes a little less that an inch in diameter. I got like, five yards in REALLY wide roll. You know what I see when I see black and white stripes?? Hiya, Babes Oh yeah. Beetlejuice. :D So of course I tell myself, "No Holly you can't make a Beetlejuice suit. It'd look more like this:  Than This:  PLUS. Im Plus sized. AND the stripes are too thin. ALSO EVEN if I made a suit it'd have to be vintage. And that involves not only a huge amount of work, with horse hair and pad stitching and so many layers to keep the shape, it ALSO means a pencil skirt. (On account of, because)  Too many reasons why it would be a bad idea.  So I bought all five yards and am looking at vintage suit patterns.  ... So sue me. :D Of course these are just pipe dreams, suits which are hard to get ahold of.  Here are some which are available now: 

Hair Today, Hair Tomorrow

Okay! So all last week when I went to work (Thats four days of work on account of the free, fourth of July Friday) I did my hair up in vintage style. I also took some pictures! So the first two are of Sunday night, the night I actually managed to put my hair up without losing all feeling in my arms or collapsing from heat exhaustion! The very next day, Monday, I wore my Bike Dress, with my favorite heels, and a black loose knit cardigan. So Very Pleased!! My Favorite Heels!!!! The very next day I wore my favorite dress, the Wedding-Dress-In-An-Everyday-Way.  And the next day, in my Off-The-Rack American Shirtdress. Very happy to wear this one too, because I was able to rock out my leopard print fur belt and.... THESE FABULOUS AMAZING SHOES!!! OMG!!!! They fit like a dream and are gorgeous!!!! After work that day I actually had to have a visit with my Doctor...... And on Thursday, I wore another off-the-rack, a jungle print shirtdress.
