Pablo Picasso

Last summer I bought a deadstock Carole Little resort rayon separates set, circa 1980. The colors were bright and the prints charming and I imagined wearing the loooong skirt as a strapless dress. Well this summer that skirt fits a bit snug, and the strange little top, which I had never considered, somehow tricked me in trying it on. And odd thing was: I liked it. I'm not sure why, except that it hangs exceptionally well, and reminds me of a Picasso painting. 
Now Wearing: 
  • vintage '80's Carole Little rayon top, Thrift Town
  • thrifted shorts, Thrift Town
  • black leather flats, Target
  • vintage red leather shoulder bag, Salvation Army
  • Porkchop Rules, zodiac ring, Crimson & Clover
  • Sunglasses from Target

    Thank you for your compliments. The shirt is funny. A bit bright for my taste but strangely charming. It's a top that is a mock jacket over a black base, a one piece. I should wear the skirt so you can see it in its' Carole Little '80's glory.

    I think that top is fabulous! I agree, it resembles a Picasso and you look like a work of art wearing it!

    Oh my gosh I remember that line. Carol Little. What happened to it? Oh hey, and what is "dead stock"?

    Heather, you've inspired me to do a future post about Carole Little.

    "Deadstock" is vintage that has never been worn with tags still on it. New "old" clothes.
