You know that famous quote by, Coco Chanel
Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.
well I just don't get it!
before I leave the house I normally add at least 3 other accessories.
So my outfit to today is
more is, more.
I think I just feel sorry for all my bits and bobs left at home
so I bring as much of them as I can out to show themselves off to the world.
Me and Judy.
The headpiece was a menagerie of pieces
put in a pile and pinned together.
dress and dressing gown from Lucy's.

I'd love to see more photos of you and your wonderful house!!
That Dorothy lifesize cutout is amazing!! I'm a little obsessed with the Wizard of Oz and I'd love to host her at home!
Your hat is great too and so the dress and the shoes, I really love everything with all my eyes and heart!!
xxxx
Completely agree! Less is more is the dumbest saying I've ever heard, maximalism all the way!
You look amazing, I love those shoes and the head gear blows my mind! xxx
more is definitely more as far as fashion goes. I'd wear more accessories if I remembered too. and I should be more inspired by you and other bloggers to pile them on. I love the gown, really pretty. The tiny shoes are amazing, there's a Mikado sort of theme here that I really like... The Mikado with costumes by Nina Hagen! xx
or Lena Lovich!
Of course more is never enough!
Chanel said loads of BS during her "reign" - gimme Schiaparelli any day!!! You are as always, incredible!!! xoxox
I have never got the whole Coco Chanel thing and all the quotes dotted about on various personal style blogs, in fact a fair few of her quotes mark her out to be a bit of a daft bint’oid in my opinion, like “A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future”…Que?! Maybe I’m not enough of a fashionista to understand? Whist on the subject of perfume and in particular her perfume, I remember asking for a bottle of Chanel No 5 for my thirteenth birthday (cause I wanted to smell like Marilyn) and being totally gutted because it smelt like my maths teacher, a very beige lady that had a permanent look of disdain on her face. In my mind Miss Monroe should have “dressed” in a nicer scent whilst in bed.
I love your superb headdress and your outfit is gorgeously creative too, you look fabulous...xXx
I like the the quote Vix shared by Keith Richards too about, if its worth doing its worth overdoing, amen to that! The bottom of that skirt is a work of art and I'd cram my feet into those shoes too. Of course buying more chocolate couldn't be helped, there is always tomorrow :)
Love the bling and the dressing gown! I don't think I'm a more is more kinda peep, but I love it on others - whatever makes you feel like a rock star is what you should wear! Xo
I have been cookie bingeing too- and it is showing in my middle! I will start with you.
That skirt the details is amazing - I can see why it didn't make it into your rails.
Thank you for linking up dear Lucy. Now I can enjoy the bouquet of your outfit (and shoes) again.
