H&M jacket & ring, Express men's dress shirt, Aldo collar necklace, Forever 21 earrings, Steve Madden platform sandals

This post is for the Petite Fashion Challenge #18, hosted by the lovely Amber of Easy Petite Looks. My first PFC! The instructions were to "impress your date." Despite the fact that my boyfriend Pilot and I both share an already over-stuffed closet, I find that it's still fairly easy to wow him.

My vision for this was simple: pretty but edgy, with a large dash of DIY. I merely borrowed one of his dress shirts and tied it around myself to a make a quick but efficient minidress, then topped it off with my favorite slightly oversized moto jacket—as you can see when I'm doing my left hand disappearance trick. I'm always a fan of utilizing menswear into something for yourself (it's also a great conversation starter). Black suede platform sandals and a gorgeous rose gold collar helped tip the scales into total femininity, and the gold/neon pink earrings gave it the subtlest pop of color.

I can't wait to see the other participants in this PFC and I hope you're all having an awesome week so far! x

  1. Yay I'm excited you're finally entering. It only took me 3 months of convincing you! Hahahah! And love how you used the sleeves as a belt! I would never knew it was Vince's shirt if you didn't say anything and would just think it's a pretty lavender dress. Well I guess guy's clothing can come in handy huh. Vince should try to market this as a "walk of shame proof..." instead of wearing your clothes from the previous night, you can turn his shirt into a new dress! Voila, done! LOL.

    p.s. the photos came out lovely btw!
