My original outfit: It’s monochrome day! I’m stepping out in a grey headband, blue plaid shirt under a blue cropped knit vest, high-waisted blue and white polka dot shorts, thigh-high grey socks, and blue and white striped peep-toe wedges.
Reinterpretation: The inspiration here is the first ladies’ wardrobe: smart jackets, elegant silhouettes and fancy head wear! The revamp sees a cropped jacket in the plaid pattern but with a tweed fabric, knit vest is now a dress, and the headband and shorts material merge to create the clutch at hand. The outfit is finished with sheer stockings, nude heels and a whimsical fascinator in the shape of a button from the vest. Details:

I donned my frilly pink crinoline for the night and even got new brush pens in various shades of pink for the theme. Here are some highlights:
