Couture du Jour Challenge: A Day at the Beach

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

This month's theme is A Day at the Beach! What I'm looking for is a swim suit and any three accessories. At least one of the four items (suit or accessory) must be handmade or vintage and there is no price limit on the outfit. Here is an example I put together:

Beach Blanket Bingo Two Piece Mod Cloth $89

Straw Pith Helmet missgaylee $12.50

Canvas Pleats Bag tippythai $28

Californians Ivana Sandal Endless $69

TO SUBMIT AN ENTRY:

Select your four outfit pieces and email them to couture@lillyella.com with July Couture Challenge in the subject line (one entry per person, please).

In the email please include:

• The name/title of the items

• The name of the shop or website where they are found

• Links to the items (Please send the full link to the item rather than hyperlinking on the name.)

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

You have until next Monday, July 19 at 8pm (est) 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!
