Exploring Elegance


Below is my Vegas jumpsuit, vintage, crepe wool, rear zip, which has been featured several times on Bag'n'B, worn with my super puffed-sleeved silk blouse bought retail in Shimokitazawa in Tokyo a vintage-age ago.

I call it this because it's always ready for a night of brat-packing, martinis, bubblegum cigarettes with sugar-puff smoke, and jackpotting, or faffing about downtown. Or for gardening, below, for the post, "What to wear for gardening," in March 2017. This photo is called "The Rake's Progress - In a Good Way," named after the opera, which ended badly for the rake.


And below, a photo taken by Vancouver Barbara at the Little Black Dress Gala in Vancouver in May 2017. See this post, "Trotting to a gala like a little pony." You know that if I'm instructed to wear black, I must include a colour breakout somewhere. Note the glitter black platform booties. Those floors are definitely marble.


I also styled it in December 2013 in my post, "I wore this for Mis Papelicos," who was having a linkup party. Below is an ultra-short video of the outfit. I still have the cape, which I still adore. Fake ermine, dahlings. Or some other speckled animal. And platform booties again.



Finally, I made a mini-me cutout with this jumpsuit on and put it in a cardboard box for my post "Thinking in the forest in the box," also December 2013. Check the link for a look.

  1. I love how Deanna has captured you in all your urban feral glory: hair like flames, clothes swooshing about like semaphore flags. I can only imagine how enraptured passersby must have been! Two more months until I'm over for the anniversary!

  2. Love this photo spread, you gorgeous silver-tressed model. You're right about that jumpsuit, it's got everything, for all occasions. And the free form dancing on the museum steps - that's a movie right there: Audrey Hepburn grows up, and doesn't need Fred Astaire any more! You're a star, xox

  5. I am in love with photo number 6. You seem to have suddenly burst into a brief but very joyful flamenco moment.
    The first several shots find you feeling for a mood. The grand architecture seems a bit too demanding but then... there you are! UNDAUNTED.
    Hooray!! Love, Jude

  9. I like your explosion of skirt swishing photo! How cool to be able to work with a photographer on some themed shoots (I'm envious!). If I lived in Vancouver I would definitely contact Deanna about working with her.

  10. Beautiful stylization, moody. Beautiful-white blouse and black overalls. This castle is very nice. I like your blog, greetings.

  11. That is a blogger's dream. To have an actual professional photographer take your pictures. I would love that. You look very good in these photos, but given the time of year we are in, it must have been COLD!!!
    It isn't showing though.
    Lovely jumpsuit. And your thigh high diamond socks are perfect with that split. I love that photo best, where the legs of your jumpsuit are flying up, revealing the socks.

  12. It feels like I'm watching a movie trailer - so mysterious - whatever's going to happen next - something surreal, of course. I'm buying a ticket for sure.

  13. I've been watching a lot of french dramas, lately and you just totally look like a judge to me. Hehe. This whole outfit is rad! <3

  14. Now THAT is a COAT! This has to be one of the best posts you've shared, Melanie. I absolutely love everything about it - and I have to say I love all your blog posts (and Instagrams too). I do love to see favourite clothing being worn again and again - that helps me no end (not being a regular shopper and so therefore not having an endless wardrobe) and re-enforces the idea that different accessories, locations even, changeth the whole picture. FABULOUS! xx
