Fine Form: Dress Form-Shaped Perfume Bottles at Quintessential Antiques

I'm not much for perfume, but perhaps it's because today's don't come in such stylish bottles. Spotted last month at Quintessential Antiques (5707 Manchester).

Floral Skirt Remix: Take One (Crochet Top)

Crochet top: found on Amazon via LookbookStore
Skirt: Target (a girls' dress with the top cut off)
Belt: thrifted
Gecko ring: thrifted
Bracelet: Cara from Nordstrom (gifted) (similar)
While I have a sizable closet, there are some pieces that remain in constant rotation. Over the next few weeks I thought I'd share how I get mileage out of these pieces, starting with this floral skirt. It started as a girls' dress. I really enjoyed it in its original form (the top was striped with a boat neck and evoked this really great 'feminine pirate' spirit), but it's proven much more valuable to me as a skirt. The waist is elastic ensuring it's always comfortable. More importantly, the hodgepodge of flowers make it an easy skirt to wear with almost any color. (Except blue. I've yet to make that combination work.)

The crochet top was a perfect pairing for my recent weekend in Nashville and the beginning of official summer weather. I'm not a huge fan of the bra completely visible underneath the shirt, so I paired it with a cream tank.
