The second I saw this dress listed in the Delightful Dozen, I knew I wanted to get my hands on it, and I knew I wanted to use Marie Antoinette as my inspiration. The soft pastels and bold, floral print looked like something straight off the walls of the Petit Trianon! I looked around the house for some pink blush and a bottle of hairspray to poof my hair with, but that would've made everything a little costumey. The white petal hat was about as creative as I could get without going overboard!

Corey and I took these photos at this great Spanish-inspired building in town. It's set on a sharp curve, so I never get a great look at it when I pass, but I know I've always loved it. I was so happy to finally see it up close. Aren't the tile stairs fantastic! I hated the fact that the broom and wine bottle were sitting out when we were taking photos, but that ended up being my favorite part once I got home to look at them.
Also, have you heard about the Delightful Dozen 2011 calendar? They're on sale now for $15 and all proceeds go to the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) which helps women fighting all types of eating disorders. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of this project. Be sure to check it out when you have extra time!

oh my gosh, this is brilliant! i may have to recreate it, even though it is probably like 400 degrees colder here than it is where you are... you definitely scored with that hat. pretty amazing :)
This is a brilliant concept and photoshoot! You never cease to be creative!
Oh, I love the outfit. Beautiful... If you're ever in California, you should see the Spanish missions, especially in Santa Barbara! You would love it.
I've been in a Marie Antoinette mood lately .... specifically, the movie.... Sooo good.
What's the brand of the lace blouse, I wonder?

gorgeous!
I often find that details I was sort of grumpy about at the time turn out to be the best bit about an image on second viewing. I rather like the way the wine bottle and broom move the viewers eyes across the image :)
Great look and a beautiful setting for it!
Your layering is always so inspirational! I have a '90s lace top like that one and I never thought of layering it under a short sleeved jumper or dress. Wonderful!
what a pretty dress and your layered it so well with that blouse. Great look from head to toe
you styled this so interestingly! i like it. :)
the lace is great.

great outfit...your look is beautiful as always...
love the pattern of that dress xxxx
I love the inspiration for this outfit and I absolutely adore the hat you paired with it! It's a modern-ish take on the Marie Antoinette style and it definitely doesn't come off as costumey.
that hat is incredible. just lovely.
also, what a cool project for something that doesn't get quite the serious attention it deserves.
You look lovely, Starr! I especially like the bathing hat. :))

I love this outfit. That lace underneath the dress is genius. And I love how blue your eyes look in that second to last photo.
Your blog is adorable! Almost as adorable as this outfit!

I found your blog on Delightfully Tacky's and I was scrolling through and saw this post... And completely recognized the building. Then I read your bio. You're in Little Rock! I just moved out of Rock Street Lofts downtown! Anyway. I just got super excited when I noticed such a trendy, awesome lady from LR. :)
