Floral Mermaid

    

It's been a hot mess summer, that's for sure. I've actually been trying to stay indoors with my air conditioner so I've not had many opportunities to get my fashion on. I finally got the nerve to plan a trip to visit a dear friend. This outfit was put together for a girls night dinner and drinks. 

It was super windy this particular night so obviously I pulled out some "model in the fan" poses. Wind or no wind I absolutely love how my Mint Skirt from Domino Dollhouse flows and moves. It's definitely going to get many, many wears. I didn't want to pair this great skirt with something as boring as a black top so when I saw this bodysuit (yes, bodysuit!) from ReDress NYC I knew the two pieces together would be magic. 

I'm a size 28-32 so I knew the bodysuit might not fit, and sadly I was right. BUT - it was super stretchy so I just snipped the crotch and now it can  be worn as a top with high waisted skirts. I was desperate to make this floral work, and work I did.

Outfit Post March 23rd 2012

When I fangirl, I fangril hard. My newest obsession is "The Hunger Games."

The Hunger Games is a young adult novel written by Suzanne Collins. It was first published on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic, in hardcover.^[1] It is written in the voice of sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where the countries of North America once existed. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, holds absolute power over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 from each of the 12 districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle in which only one person can survive.

When I first read the book I was immediately hooked. Now the first instalment of the trilogy has been made into a movie, and it's finally here! I usually attend midnight screenings of my favorite book-to-movie premiers (like HP)  because of the crowds; the feeling of anticipation and excitement with a room full of like-minded fandom. Some people choose to dress for the night or simply have a token from the franchise. I chose to dress as a Capitol citizen simply viewing the games.

"Style and fashion are very important to the aristocratic citizens of the Capitol. It is common for them to tattoo and dye their bodies, as well as undergo plastic surgery to alter their appearances. Capitol residents also frequently wear wigs in a multitude of colors. The other districts think the people from the Capitol are both different and odd. Partly because the districts (other than District 1) have no sense of fashion"
