take your silver spoon, dig your grave


Stevie Nicks vibes. It was fun to drag this long dress around when my friend and I went to the ice cream shop and bakery (both were necessary, it was delicious) and conservatory and, best of all, A PSYCHIC. I was hoping for a scam, if only for the cultural experience, and I think I got one! Either that or I really am the only person who is questioning things and has crushes on people. It was great. I got her business card and her email is like "jennythepsychic03@yahoo.com" or something.

Thrifted bag and lace wedding dress underneath, pearls belonged to my grandma, Old Navy floral tank top, sheer floral tank sent to me by Angie of iheartnorwegianwood, and tiara DIY'd from random brooches.

The polka dotted dress is Meadham Kirchhoff and was sent to me by Courtney Love. I'm drained from freaking out about her email so I don't have any ASDFSKHMKF's or !!!!!!!!!!'s left in me. It's also really hard to fathom to begin with, and kind of strange to be sharing. But it's worth noting that there's more where this came from on ebay, where she is selling stuff she has worn. Nuts!! I am happy to selflessly take a Meadham Kirchhoff dress off her hands because I am a good guy like that.

I'm gonna go let it sink in in private. I'll have some snacks, water, and an inhaler with me, but bring me a meal if I'm gone for too long.

Yay first comment! I love the layering, and Courtney Love send that dress to you personally? No way! You are lucky duck. Also the tiara is extremely awesome.

Yep. This pretty much owns.

EmK said...

That's cool that she sent you that dress, and yes, the bakery and ice cream shop are both very important, ha.

Claire said...

Insane. Absolutely love it, the flowers add a nice vibe. :)
Also that tiara?! Is it really made from old brooches? That's incredible. I need to go find some random brooches at a garage sale and make one... it's a great idea.

...the shape of the dress gives a sense of movement....it looks like a great dress for the summer....I hope you enjoy it....im sure DVF would love that dress

Alexa said...

My favourite piece is the tiara. It reminds me of the Grinch's lair with all its metal and contrasting shapes.

Cloud P. said...

love the mix of the textures. great dress

20thCgirl said...

NO WAY.

That is preeeetty amazing. Also well done on the DYI Tiara, it looks like it could be designer or something.

said...

Lucky lucky you, it looks like an amazing dress! There should be more witch outfits around too. Cant imagine how brill it must feel to get a present from your idol. wow.

You're obsessed! But the outfit looks amazing as a consequence!

Pull Your Socks Up! said...

Wow, I'd be having a bit of moment too if CL gave me a dress, any old dress, never mind this gorgeous MK number that makes my heart skip a beat! I adore it layered over the wedding dress, plus the stunning pearls, the leather bag and your beautiful DIY headband. Your hair is getting really long and I love the deep red lippy on you:))).

'take your silver spoon, dig your grave'


I like the last photo! Your outfit, the bag, the flowers, your pose, and the cropping, for me, are giving off a really cool "Vertigo" vibe. Just add that creepy circular Vertigo motif, and I'm totally there!

And your news about Courtney Love is amazing! I'm very happy for you :-))

----------------------------------

'after about five lines of this post you're gonna wish you had five beers'


Awesome shoes deserve some awesome foot modelling, and dude, you’ve done those platforms proud!

That curling of the lip! Not only does it perfectly capture the disenchantment (coughvocabularycough) of Enid’s youth, but I think it would make Elvis proud :-)

And that 'Ghost World' button just plain makes me jealous :-)

Oh, and I love the proportions of this outfit. The socks and platforms are a perfect match for a skirt of that length. Or should it be… The length of that skirt is a perfect match for those socks and platforms? Sure not am I.

Tavi...your love for the 90's, ghost world + courtney love, etc., is rather interesting. Has anyone ever bothered to ask you why?

I love sharing the love of the 90's. Fan of The Cardigans at all? You seem to already have Lady Kiev covered...which leads me to Thiery Mugler, thoughts on his latest?

Oh and love the look. You're great without the glasses. I'd tell you to lose the glasses, get contacts...but that would be impractical hehe.

so you probably will not even read this but I like over half of the intergalactic universe and then some people who like Jersey shore, have been following your blog for about two and a half years. I am very interested in your interpretations of the fashion world and I was wondering if you could do a Prom post because I am SICK of all the skanky drab that is going around at my school. Sincerely, Kaleigh.

Stephanie Kuehnert said...

Great look! And a dress from Courtney herself! That is beyond awesome!

Ro Furkim said...

Dotted polka dress in a little witch. I loved (...!!!)

cancercowboy said...

applause for your unselfishness to give that dress a new home. this degree of altruism isn't a given in our modern times, where even psychics have email ^___^ hope someone stands on watch to reanimate you in case your brain turns into alphabet soup again ;) would be understandable, though.
your outfit is a witch-y eye catcher again. i'd totally invite you to my funeral ^____^
the tiara = priceless

microrganisms said...

This isn't related to this entry butttt... I just watched your Idea City talk. I was really impressed by your views, particularly changing the stereotype of feminists. You said it really well, and it was inspiring! Also, it's so refreshing to see a teenager teach adults. Adults really like to see the next generation thinking independently and intelligently, makes us feel like we're doing something right. So, thank you!

ólöf said...

I really like this, it's nice..and quite amazing that Courtney Love sent it to you personally, the dress that is;) I like all of the combination and I love your gut, I wish I had had this much character when I was your age (which isn't that long ago actually, only about 7 years I'm guessing) ..at least you're way cooler than I ever was haha!

anyway. Your comment on bakery and ice cream being necessary, I get that. Seems like something I would say. Yum yum.

Wow. This really doesn't have any special message, just wanted to say..something..well..hello goodbye
