Moments in peaceful green ease my tired eyes.
The end of a long week means frocking up, slopping on plenty of leopard print and slipping on some saucy shoes.
Instant energy boost.
I bought the 1950s two-piece lace wiggle suit on Etsy last year. I love the way it fits and the details are charming - rosette on the jacket collar and rhinestone buttons, plus gentle pleating around the dress neckline.
A mish-mash of jewellery - some costume from the 1940s, the rest thrifted and loved just as much.
Leopard-print tights are from eBay and the shoes are VW Melissa mock crocs from Amazon.
The temptation to snatch forty winks in the glorious winter sunshine is overwhelming. I have a strange relationship with sunshine - in the summer I hide from her, in winter I court her.
I mix up my animal prints ... oh yes I do.
Enjoy the last day of the working week my lovelies and if you're feeling a little contrary, pop on a frock and enjoy your Friday in style:).

I adore leopard print in all it's various forms! The tights and bag are awesome. Also, the variety of bangles you have here are something I am going to need to try asap - love the double armed look. - Katy

Hello, I'm a new follower. I've had a look through your blog and honestly think you're the most exciting and interesting fashion blogger I've ever come across. This outfit is absolutely stunning, you manage to look both elegant and flamboyant at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe suit is a fantastic find. I love the color and how you have paired it with the leopard.
ReplyDeleteGreat and unexpected combo! I am a huge fan of leopard print so loving the tights especially.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Desiree, that is a stunning combination - very you!
ReplyDeleteThe suit is stunning, I thought it was a print on the fabric till I got to the close up shot and realised it's lace. Which makes it even more beautiful!
The leopard print definitely gives it that essential Desiree touch of naughty!
Desiree, you look frockalicious divina amor.
ReplyDeleteI adorar your green 40's suit, leopard is so sexy on you. I am the same I hate the hot sun and enjoy it in the winter.
besos
Love the material on the suit--is it like an eyelit? And the details on the top are divine! You are so brave to wear the leopard tights but it's what takes the suit out of the 40's and brings it to today. Bravo, GF--again! Love, Paula
ReplyDeleteI came scross your blog very recently and I love it. You have some lovely unique outfits and I hope to be as glamorous as you when I'm older! :)
