Welcome to my paper doll project (apparently it’s mine, although it’s me, Liz and Erin participating. I guess it’s mine because I suggested it? Whatever… LOL). When Liz, Erin and I posted our 30 pieces, I made some remark on twitter about secretly making up clothing options for them, and it turned into this. Today, Liz told me what to wear, I told Erin what to wear and Erin told Liz what to wear (make sense?).

I had a different shirt on this morning (the cream one with the peter pan collar) and while it looked cute, I looked like a 1950′s librarian. I totally could’ve played that role, tossed on some cat-eye frames and rocked it out, but I decided against it. I was meeting Selina and Sophie from Sisters 4 say more is more after work, and didn’t really want to scare them off with my 1950′s clothing. And I think I was successful. I don’t think I scared them off… yet… :)

I swear, Liz knows me REALLY well, because this outfit is so very ME. I love it. Hilariously, Erin picked the exact same shoes for me to wear, so I really hope you guys don’t get sick of them!!

    Oh yay! I love love LOVE it. This project of yours {it is all YOUR idea Suze} has been so fun and given a nice little twist on the 30 for 30 {at least for me}. I’m rocking your look to day and I love it. I feel a bit like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz…now if only I had some red shoes.

    This is really pretty. That is such a cool idea to chose outfits for each other. The skirt’s print is awesome.

    The new header is beautiful! Also love the skirt and the paper doll idea. It’s all loading slow though.

      That’s what a few people have said. I have to resize the graphics to make them load faster :) Thanks for the headsup!

    I’m gonna go ahead and be just one of many sheep in the flock as I clamor to tell you how much I adore your skirt (and the belt you paired with it). While you could have rocked the librarian look, I think this one suits you just fine. (: Good luck with the rest of the 30!

    Love the skirt and the cardigan!

    I am in love with your skirt. I’ve been dying for a long full skirt since I first saw them at LV (I think that’s where I saw them, right?) I have no access to an Anthro, have you seen anything like this somewhere that’s more common? Somewhere that preferably ships to Canada?

    This is a great look and I love the concept of the paper doll project! What a great idea! I’d love to be a part of that ;)

    How fun! I love the skirt/cardigan combo. Nicely done, Suze.

  22. February 10, 2011 12:38 pm

    Great colors on the cardi and the skirt!

  23. February 10, 2011 12:55 pm

    Oh, I LOVE this skirt. The color combo of this outfit is really great, loves it :)

    Just found your blog. I have a feeling I’m going to love it.

    This outfit is fantastic.

    There is nothing wrong with looking like a 50s librarian. I love 50s fashion.

    I like the idea of a paper doll. I think it will give the subject aka the doll new ideas to style their clothes.

    I LOVE THIS OUTFIT SO MUCH IT HURTS <——– this is me screaming at you if you can't tell.

  27. February 11, 2011 11:49 am

    This outfit is so chic! ^^ I love it to pieces. Maybe it’s the purple again? ^^

    You look very pretty with your hair up and that smile!
