Ooh, before I forget, who's going to the Northwest Blog Meetup this Friday?? Jess and I will be there, so be sure to grab us and say hi!
This tunic is another fairly recent acquisition from All Saints, which is only just now making its first appearance on the blog even though I've already worn it several times as a more casual
This garment is actually billed as a dress, but I'm sure you can imagine how I feel about wearing it that way. For one thing it's not very long, and could easily take a dangerous detour into chocha land. For another, it has the clingy knit dress syndrome when it's pulled all the way flat, though admittedly it isn't nearly as unflattering as a thin jersey dress would be. Regardless, I intend to wear it as a tunic, and with this outfit I hit on the idea of layering it over this vintage slip-upcycled-to-skirt.
Because the whole outfit was pretty dark, I added some eye-catching silver accessories to brighten it up: the studded double-wrap skinny belt, and my beautiful quartz pendant from Argentina.
Pendant: Manu Lizzaralde
Belt: vintage
Skirt/slip: Glam Grab by Gunlis
Boots: All Black

Holy moly, this has to be my favorite outfit of yours yet. I love the tunic + short ruffly skirt + boots combination, and I've been wearing it a lot lately (especially since circle skirts are super easy to make!). The gothiness makes it all the more awesome.
Also I am more intrigued by AllSaints every time you post about it (them?). I am going to try and DIY some tops/tunics like theirs, but one day I will save up for one of their dresses. One day!!
Rock on~
Gorgeous! I'm worried that I'm beginning to think I could try a similar outfit myself....misguided?
I knew that had to be an All Saints purchase! Gorgeous.
I love the idea of upcycling a slip as an underskirt. I'm always seeing slips for a couple of bucks. Might have to try it out!
notSupermum: Not misguided at all! You could totally work this look.
Holy cow! This outfit is amazing!
Love the argyle print - gorgeous outfit.
How did I miss this? I love the slip!
awesome, just awesome. no words.
I just stumbled upon your blog - and this old post - and I loved the sweater so much that I bought my own. I got the cardigan rather than the tunic because it's more my style. It arrived today and it looks great. Thanks for the inspiration! (Oh, and I'm a bay area scientist too.)
