Challenge: Create an outfit inspired by & to be worn with a Philip Treacy hat. Remember "Matching is old hat."
Here's the hat I chose.Feel free to show what accessories you would use from Piperlime.com
Time: You have 12 hours to make your outfit.
When I saw this hat I instantly saw the woman who would wear it in my eye. I saw her walking the beach of someplace like Saint-Tropez. I wanted to make her something that seemed effortless for beach or poolside but would still look fabulous over cocktails. The hat fabric read as almost gauzy to me so I repeated that by using a gauzy cotton fabric. A single oversized flower appliqued to the opening of the skirt adds a pop of color & interest. An open back & sides plus a high split skirt keep things cool while adding a lot of sexiness (plus show off her tan).
See what Susi & Teri did with this challenge too!
