Outfit of the day. The Paper Doll Project.

Today I am a paper doll. How you say? I'm participating in the Paper Doll Project that Miss Vinyl Ahoy is hosting.

When I was younger I loved paper dolls. I used to buy books with them, and I would carefully punch out all the different pieces. I never thought the day would come where I would get to be one.

I have the awesome Kara from Unusual Form to thank for dressing me today. Thanks for letting me be your paper doll for a day!
 
Outfit details: Jacket- Jackie Blue. Thrifted. Top- Style & Co. Thrifted. Skirt- Necessary Objects. Thrifted. Necklace- Swapped. Belt- Thrifted. Shoes- L&C. Gabriel Brothers.

I really liked this outfit, and will probably end up wearing other ones Kara suggested. The colors worked really well together. I had only worn this shirt once or twice, and I hadn't worn the skirt since buying it. I don't know why I waited so long, and I'm glad Kara made an awesome outfit with them both.

I'm not used to tucking in my shirt. So it was sort of weird to see it tucked in. The only thing I didn't like was that my shirt was a little too blousy to be tucked in. If the belt would have stayed in place it would have fixed my minor shirt issue.

With all my heart,
<3 Vanessa

P.S.
If you want to see what everyone else wore make sure to go to Miss Vinyl Ahoy's blog to see the rest of the paper dolls.
