Topsy-turvy

I was looking at some pictures from the Documentary Grey Gardens this morning (I have to get hold of the full thing), and I’ve fallen in love with the style of Little Edie. I recently thrifted this skirt, but when I got home I realised it was a size too small.


So I decided to try it on upside down, like Edie. (try ignore the stoner face)

Singlet; miss shop myer, flower pin; gift from great aunt


Next I went a little bit luella spring 09, turning it into a strapless dress over a singlet,

And then a kind of one shouldered wrap dress.

Mums old belt

Finally, a one shouldered top with another skirt on the bottom.

Dress (worn as skirt); thrifted

Which style do you think works best?
