THE HELP INSPIRED: BLUE MIDI-SKIRT
Photography by Me
If thrifting is wrong then I don't want to be right! I stumbled upon a local thrift market in my area during one of my various trips around my current city of Abuja, Nigeria. The skirt cost 200($1) Naira while the blouse was 450 Naira ($2.50). I love the retro look of the skirt, I have been looking for a pair like this since watching The Help (movie). I loved all the dresses and skirts that the character Skeeter (played by Emma Stone) rocked. So I guess you could say this look is inspired by her. I wore this outfit to church with the pink heels for a pop of colour but for going out and about I went with my converse which I got in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. I can't wait for you guys to see some of the other items I picked up!
Skirt/ Top: Thrifted | Heels: Bangkok Thailand | Flats: Converse
So what do you think, did I get the skeeter look?Also which look do you prefer, heels or flats?

BTW Skeeter was Emma stone... You mistakenly wrote Watson
Delete$1 and $2.50 for clothes?! That is a steal! Wow, it looks gorgeous! I love the movie The Help, it is amazing! (But Skeeter was played by Emma Stone, not Emma Watson, hahaha)

I love both looks, but the heels drew my attention. Love the colour pop against the monochrome palette.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely Hun. The two pieces look so good together.
ReplyDeleteI have one such skirt and now am more motivated to wear it.
