Tail Feathers
07.16.2012

If you are ever feeling down, wear feathers. They lift you up. Literally. This glorious one-of-a-kind skirt has been staring me right in the face from the front rack at Shareen Vintage for awhile now, and I have never been able to get it out of my head. It calls my name. “Caaaatherine. Take me home. Wear me on your trips to Trader Joe’s. Do SOMETHING with me.” So I did, and for some reason that something just had to be to mix it with prep school inspired pieces in all white. Sometimes that’s how it happens – with no rhyme or reason but with a strong force. When that happens, there’s no looking back. There’s only one thing left to do – make it a reality. Except for maybe the part about Trader Joe’s.

    ah yes…tie tucked into skirt…been playing around with this for awhile, but haven’t come up with the perfect marriage of tie, shirt and skirt. i always end up feeling like a ups worker. i need to girlie-it-up a bit more. i dig this.

  8. you look AMAZING!!!! i adore this outfit. oh that skirt – so glad you went for it :)

  9. [...] pretty pink tutu, but how does the 24 year old me pull that off? Leave it to Catherine Sheppard of The Life Styled to show us all. It may be feathers v. the traditional tulle but it totally serves my fashion [...]

  12. Nicole says:

    Great look! Love the contrast between the tailored top half and the girlie whimsical bottom. Have you worn it out yet???

  13. Breathtaking! When the universe whispers, a girl must shop!
