Hi, I'm Tania from What Would a Nerd Wear, filling in for Mara while she is on an enviable honeymoon with her handsome new husband. One of the things that drew me to Mara's blog was her amazing sense of style. Even when she's playing with trends (which she does with aplomb), she always looks incredibly feminine. So my "lookbook" outfit today is all about being Mara-style ladylike (with a little twist).
works cited: gap denim jacket; thrifted dress and wedges
Because I am a grad student, I have lots of books but very little money, so I love scouting out thrift stores for good finds. I found this vintage silk dress a few weeks ago and rescued it from its future as a nursing home dress by hemming it and altering the waistline. With a denim jacket, it was perfect for a day of reading and bike rides around my neighborhood--my two favorite activities :)
Thanks for letting me fill in, Mara! I know I speak for many when I say I'm thrilled for you and eagerly anticipating seeing photos of your sure-to-be-gorgeous wedding. xoxo

ReplyDeleteI love how you altered it! Love those shoes also. It's a color you don't see a lot anymore.
ReplyDeletehaha! that is so something that Mara would wear! I love how you took what probably was a really ill-fitting gown and turned it into something wearable and cute!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I love the wash of the denim jacket.

so cute! i wish i was better at altering, it would make thrifting so much more fun (:
ReplyDeleteI love thrifting too! I think even if I suddenly come into a lot of money one day I will always enjoy the thrill of thrifting and the amazing pieces you can find.
ReplyDeletewow, what an amazing find! i love the print on the dress and how you cuffed the sleeves with the jacket.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! Although I may be partial because I think I have this jacket. That dress is such a great thrifted find!
