Couture Challenge: Head to Toe Vintage

It's time for the April Couture du Jour Challenge! If you're new to this game, here are the details… Each month I'll be picking a different item or theme to create an outfit around and will then post the entries I receive for a vote. Crowd favorite wins jewelry from my shop!

This month's theme is Head to Toe Vintage! What I'm looking for is a top, bottom (pants, skirt or shorts), shoes and one accessory OR a dress, shoes and two accessories. The outfits can be casual or dressy but all items must be vintage and can be found on Etsy or any other website. There is no price limit for this months challenge.

Keep in mind when creating your outfits that not only do you want great vintage pieces, but you want to select items with nice photos that will look good together in a montage for the voting. Below are two examples I put together:


White Denim Shorts greatestfriend $28


Straw Garden Hat CapriciousTraveler $26
Cherry Red Peep Toe Heels birdsandblackfawns $18


TO SUBMIT AN ENTRY:
Select your pieces and email the title of the items, the name of the shop or website they are from and links to the items to couture@lillyella.com. Please enter April Couture Challenge in the subject line. One entry per person.

The winner of the vote will receive their choice of any piece of jewelry from my shop!

You have until next Monday, April 26 to submit your entry and the voting will begin the next day. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or post them in the comments below. Have fun! I can't wait to see these vintage ensembles.
