Ok, I know this post is not going to be for everyone, and those who know me personally may think I've gone off the deep end. In my defense, I don't even think it's the skulls that I'm liking per se, but I think it's the element of the unexpected that's so appealing.

Alexander McQueen was the king of using skulls in his designs. I think he was one of the few designers who could make them attractive to a wide range of fashionistas:
This top by Pencey may look like a sweet floral blouse, but if you look closer, there's little skulls in the center of the rose. Interesting...
Rika's clutch is just a touch more interesting with a skull for the clasp:
Like I said, I'm not advising everyone to jump on board the skull bandwagon. I'm just sayin' sometimes the unexpected can be just what the doctor ordered.
Love skull items! Especially the damask skull print. Such an unexpected touch to a classic pattern. Would also love that blouse to wear with my fave black skinny jeans! Cute!
ReplyDeleteBlack skinny jeans would be perfect with the blouse!
ReplyDeleteI love the wallpaper! So unexpected... also dying for a McQueen scarf- just too much $$ for me right now.
