Trapeze artist

This ensemb started with my MAUVElous trapeze dress from the Sarah Jessica Parker line Bitten-used to be sold at Steve and Barrys, but you might recognize it from project runway as the winning design for her line. The dress was only $9! The volume on the trapeze dress along with the bowtie makes me flash back to kindergarten wearing my smock to protect from paint spills, so I haven’t worn it until now….Instead of the vest from the runway look; I decided to rein in some of the trapeze volume with another blouse on top tucked into a high waisted pencil skirt; wore booties, but for warmth added tights
