Why Don't You?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-21_zpsf7dfd6fd.jpg" /><br />I'm losing a battle to a migraine which makes looking at computer screens quite painful, so the text today shall be brief. These pictures were taken on a nicer day when my head was clear and the sun was out. It's so much fun to wear this tutu--it never fails to make me feel glamorous and a little excessive, as if I should be reading Vreeland's <i>Why Don't You..?</i> column. In Diana Vreeland's columns she would encourage the most impractical things like having your cigarettes stamped with a personal insignia, or owning twelve dozen diamond roses, or washing your hair with champagne. In many cases it does seem like an extravagant lifestyle, but there's something to be said about injecting a little "why don't you" into your life. Why don't we wear precisely what we want even if it isn't the most sensible? Why don't we spend less time worrying about how others perceive us and more time living our lives..?<br /><div></div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-32_zps6aeca768.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-27_zps786a87e2.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-33_zpsee7bde22.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-19_zpsac7e667d.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-31_zpsc9bf0d5a.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-28_zpsc36713d3.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-16_zps3f5378e1.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/stutz-22_zpsa40965d7.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://store.janebasch.com/sideways-single-block-initial/" target="_blank">Jane Basch necklace</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/i7ienhu7e" target="_blank">ASOS top</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://alexandragrecco.myshopify.com/collections/tulle-skirts/products/copy-of-24-gretta-tulle-skirt-dusty-blue" target="_blank">Alexandra Grecco skirt</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/~24MOg" target="_blank">Salvatore Ferragamo flats</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=393018&m=41271&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Echoies%2Ecom%2Fproduct%2Funicorn%2Dhandbag%2Din%2Dblack%5Fp13230" target="_blank">Choies purse</a><br /><a href="http://toujours-toi-family-affairs.com/index.php?id=735" target="_blank">temporary tattoo on my foot by Family Affairs</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">*pictures by Jon<br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://instagram.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Instagram</a></div></div>

When Alexandra offer me one to style I replied with an immediate yes and visions of ballet-inspired outfits started dancing in my head. Not every little girl dreams of growing up to be a ballerina, but I must confess to be one of the many females who danced briefly when she was younger and still holds a fondness for the tutus. At first I thought about pairing the skirt with a black bodysuit and ballet flats, but then I decided to play up the soft grey color with a matching sweater which also suits our early spring weather better than a lighter layer. The setting sun caught the outer layers of tulle giving them a beautiful peachy tone which complimented my other accessories in the best way. Anyway, I'm quite over the moon about <a href="http://alexandragrecco.myshopify.com/collections/spring-pre-order/products/gretta-tulle-skirt-24-length" target="_blank">this perfect little skirt</a> and I can't wait to wear it again and again this spring and summer.<br /><div></div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1v/_MG_4109_zps1dd61764.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1v/_MG_3858_zpseef82779.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1v/_MG_3516_zps5a580787.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1v/_MG_3999_zps9948ed00.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1v/_MG_3591_zpsa9dc1a9f.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1v/_MG_3794_zps49db9cea.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1v/_MG_3390_zps688c132d.jpg" /><br /><div></div><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;">ASOS hairpin</div><div style="text-align: right;">Crew Cuts sweater</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://alexandragrecco.myshopify.com/collections/spring-pre-order/products/gretta-tulle-skirt-24-length" target="_blank">tulle skirt ℅ Alexandra Grecco</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://onlineshop.pepaloves.es/catalogo/detalle/106953" target="_blank">Pepa Loves purse</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/e3c3nhu7e" target="_blank">Urban Outfitters heels</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://instagram.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Instagram</a></div></div>
