Lately I’m all about mixing the unexpected. I got this pink ruffled dress from Buffalo Exchange -a girly girl’s delight! I happen to be an Ozzy Osbourne fan and think they look cool together in an ironic kind of way! Pair it up with big cat-woman sunglasses and my favorite unicorn heels, and we’ve got a fabulous ensemble!
These were shot in front of a 90 year old Italian granny’s house, who lives next door. :)
I love how my lipstick matches the dress.
- Cat sunglasses: Girl Props ($14.99, perfect for Halloween!)
- Dress: Betsey Johnson
- Belt: vintage
- Puggy Puggleton purse: thrifted
- Jeffrey Campbell unicorn heels: SoleStruck
- Lipstick: Centrifuchsia
I really like the dress, and the ensemble does indeed work in a strange way! lol
The sunglasses rock!
The only thing I’m not keen on is the belt, in theory it’s a good idea but because of the cut of the dress it creates an odd line, if that makes sense? You are being cinched in at the waist AND under the bust.
I love this look Doe! I tend to mix styles a lot so I’ll have to try something like this. My personal favorite so far is My Chemical Romance meets Disney Princess.

it really does oh i know have insane mental image of the guys from mcr in princess dresses
I think Ozzy and Betsey would both like this look!! The glasses are little much for me, but I definitely dig that dress :-)
BTW, is it just me, or does Sharon Osbourne always look FABULOUS!!
oh my wow! i need those sunglasses! where did you get them? i love this look, Doe, and i love Puggy Puggleton too!

last night i had a dream where i was wearing lime crime makeup, to be exact i was wearing no she didnt and cupcake thief and i was wearing a unicorn dress with matching colours! sorry, i had to share that. but now i wonder if i would actually suit No she didnt…..

Haha, what an awesome dream – especially the unicorn dress part! :)
My sunglasses are from GirlProps.
I love the dress but I don’t love the belt with it. The glasses are cool but I think they are a little over the top for a daytime look. Great for a photoshoot though.

Originally I had my *other* cat-eye sunnies on, much tamer than those haha.
Must…have…those…sunglasses!

I love ‘em, love them so much that I display them on my bedroom shelf. You can get them at GirlProps. XO
I love it!!!!! Every piece is unique, but goes so beautifully together! :)
I personally don’t think this works at all =/

Seconded. Sorry.
If I work it, I think it would work better minus the sunglasses (and IMO the bag!) and with an underbust belt covering the join between parts of the dress. Makes it look much more expensive!

Yeah! The sunglasses are extremely costumey. The shoes are fine, but it should coordinate everything. Everything looks so out of place.

I agree about the belt part. If the dress you are wearing has a band under the bust a belt on the waist doesn’t work well. For it to look right the belt should be under the bust.
crazy train is my favorite
did you use your lipstick as a stain?
you look like cat woman in mania lol

Haha. :) Nope, direct swipe + brush.
So pretty, i have some bat sunglasses to I actually wore them today xoxo

Yessss!
Love love love!! You look beautiful, with your white skin and the pink and red tones! Here I find again the color genius that I loved in some other photos (those with the apples a long time ago, etc!)… But, why the dog bag? WHY?? lol ;)

September 2, 2010 at 10:09 pm
Hehe, Puggy Puggleton is my favorite accessory ;)
Oh, did I mention that I love those crazy sunglasses?? Definitely those are some of my favorite photos Doe!
Incredibly gorgeous Doe! Love the 1st, 2nd and 3rd photo! xx
I like it, but I think the belt should be more of a black cinch belt worn a little bit higher… Would be very flattering on your tiny waist!
Doe Deere Reply:
September 2, 2010 at 10:10 pm
28″, it’s not that tiny. :) I do agree about the cinch belt though, should look into procuring one…
Cute look, Doe!
But, I thought that pug was real for a second! lol.
I was thinking, “What is she doing to that poor doggie?!?!,” then I saw your list of where you got everything and realized it was a purse!

You wouldn’t be the first. ;) Puggy causes a lot of confusion – I almost got kicked out of a tiki bar once because the hostess thought it was a real dog!
Looks great!
Oh, I’m so excited to get more LC makeup! I just dyed my hair BLUE and am definitely ready to mix some awesome colors with it!

Blue! How wonderful! Got any pics??
I love this outfit Doe! I mix all sorts of clothing together as well. I just posted a new outfit on my blog today.

Your shoes! Are they comfortable for long periods of time? So adorable :)
And I’ll never get tired of your purse, I want one just like it <3

Depends whether you’re used to running around in high heels or not. I think it’s a 3.5″ or possibly even 4″ heel!
i don’t really see much of the Prince of Darkness in this, but i love the dress :)

Oo..I wish that there was a Buffalo Exchange near me. It seems like all of you NY girls have the BEST luck finding great things second hand!
I love the look..and I think that Ozzy would approve!
The dress needs a good ironing! ;-)

It does! I didn’t even notice haha. Oh well, it’s kind of fun to wear wrinkled clothes sometimes…
I positively adore the clash between your hair and the dress, it looks totally amazing! I need to try something similar, thanks to your inspiration.
Btw, I just discovered yesterday that we use the same hair dye. It feels a bit weird ;) but in a good way.
Cheers to you, Doe!
You have TOO much style! Love it.
YES, OZZY OSBOURNE.
Sorry, that was a bit of a useless comment. But it makes me happy to see you’re a fan! :D

Totally!
So adorable!
Do they have a Buffalo Exchange in New York City? I’m from San Diego and LOVE that store, but am going to NY for school. I would love it if i could shop there during the school year!!!
i like this sort of catwoman esque outfit it suits you wheres batman in this image :)
I just want to let you know that I “stole” a picture from this post into one of my own posts:) This because I wanted to show my Norwegian readers my favourite blog, and I ofcourse linked to you… Hope this is ok:)
omigosh I love those glasses!

They are my favorite ;)
No problem, thanks for the mention! You’re really sweet. :)
Yep, they have 2 – in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. Yay for moving to NY for school!
Just out of curiosity, why did you edit this post?
hoops! Sorry … must have been a glitch, two of the pictures where gone before … disregard this comment and the one before!
I think you look really pretty and summery :] Personally, I probably wouldn’t wear the glasses, but it looks fab on you! And hey – each to their own, right?
I love the belt! And you rock the pink lips SO well!
I am inlove with Puggy Puggleton
Oh no that purse looks too real for me! :( And you say you got it at a thrift store…? D:
I my god I love the puppy purse!!! I tried googling puggy puggleton but the only thing that came up is this exact page lol, is that what it says on a tag inside or something, or is that just what you call him, or…? I cant seem to find him :(.
