After a day spent in the cream, brown and blue dress, I changed into my black and green i.magnin for the Eisner Awards ceremony.
I paired it with black, as usual, for I still have not found the perfect green shoes, clutch, and gloves.
I'm looking, but that emerald green is scarce on the ground. I did, however pick up an adorable feather green and black headpiece at the Alameda Vintage Fair a few months back and with the addition of a broach to one side am rather pleased with the resulting look.
The necklace is hanging woonky, but its a lucite piece I found on my last trip to london at a little fleemarket near St. Charles. I'm not happy with my current earring options to go with so that might have to get added to the list.
Back to the hair feather thingy. Above is a vintage look that kind of had the same feel to me. Almost cabaret, or something.
This black and green dress is a tulip style, which can be flawed as it often adds bulk to the hips. Since I'm top heavy I rather like this feature as I think it balances me out. It's better with heels though.
Here's a few black a green outfits for inspiration.
1937 Elsa Schiaparelli The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Something for Sophronia int eh Finishing School series.
And this could be a drawing of her.
Something for her friend Dimity, who is a bit more flashy and loves velvet.
That's it for now! Still more Comic Con outfits to come.
