The Lu sisters of Paper Couture are not shy about color. They use it with bold broad strokes and with supreme confidence. That’s why they can produce such luscious dresses as Parakeet, a bold yellow dress that rivals the brightest birds in the jungle.
So, yesterday I put on this old Paper Couture dress and sighed and asked Whither Paper Couture? When they only do a spring and fall collection, I get impatient for the next collection to arrive and honestly, seasonly speaking, Fall is tiptoing toward Winter and they announced it was coming back in September. Wah!!!
No sooner have a I finished the hurry-up photos when like magic, there on the feed I see a new Paper Couture outfit – an outfit for men – but still I had to rush back in-world and see what new fripperies and whimsies they have dreamed up and they did not disappoint me.Taking their inspiration from birdlife, they have produced an aviary of dreams.
Since the moment I put the Boopie hairstyle from Tickled Pink on my head, that Marilyn Monroe song that Sinead O’Connor covered has been running through my head.
Okay, so we’re not searching for the Holy Grail, but looking for ghosts under the bed and behind the curtains and everywhere but up the chimney. Well, maybe up the chimney too. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. This outfit is almost all from the Ghost hunt except the dress – which came from the marvelous freebie outlet at Bastchild and Lapointe…so yes, an entirely free outfit.
