Crap, I just had an idea

Posted on August 13, 2010 by Trystan

Fascinator bought from Jilli

Fascinator bought from Jilli

Hate it when that happens.

First, I bought something from Jilli’s sale (DANGEROUS) — a fascinator with a glittery pink ship in sail, topped by black and white stripey sails (I think made by Noxenlux, or some other fabulous gothic milliner).

I fully intended to put this in an 18th-century wig. But I just realized how fan-freakin-tastic that would go with the pink and white stripey silk I got in the Garment District on Monday. Pink stripey petticoat, black jacket, and black wig with pink and black and white ship on top. FTW!

I can use the JP Ryan jacket pattern again and use the version that laces up the front — either with a black stomacher or *dun dun dun* a pink silk stomacher! Either the stripe (though that might be too wide; the stripes are 2″ wide) or another pink. Or even white with pink trim or something.

Gawd, when can I make this? I have a couple places I’d like to wear it but they’re coming up fast…

I should have worn heels &/or more makeup, lol. But @sashavelour’s show at the Berkeley Rep was magnificent! Funny, smart, thinky, sassy, everything I needed. This week needs more sparkle! I’m slowly unpacking from my trips & the 1st things out were these fun buys from Du Barry Fashions in Las Vegas. Purple glittery leggings, a pink rhinestone pill case, a tiny tiara to top a wig, & some cool deco-esque earrings. Forgot to post this costume earlier — I wore this skull-print jacket (made from a tablecloth), plus a new purple hat, at our chateau last week. Look where I get to stay this week! @maisondechastenay has this beautiful room for me with cat pillows on the bed 😻 The house is beautiful & I’m amazed at the work @lisavandenberghe has put in to make this such a charming & comfortable B&B. Hanging out with my bestie at another 18th-century party in France! Yesterday was hot & humid at Vaux le Vicomte, but @fannywilk’s pink apero party was delightful! Spooky sunset shenanigans in the chateau’s upper story. Just a little walk around our chateau yesterday! Brunch al fresco at the Donjon!
