A Tale of Four Strawberries

Well, it's been one berry-licious week and since we're on a strawberry roll, I thought we'd properly bookend the week with another strawberry option.  As I mentioned yesterday it's very much a part of the fashion business that once designers roll out their latest designs, others rush to create similar looks usually at lower prices.  Some are stunning and affordable, some are just cheap knock-offs.  We've covered the knock-offs already, so let's talk about a stunning and affordable similar strawberry style.

I really admire Unique Vintage for seeing a trend and not making a copy.  Instead they came up with their own version and kept it in a vintage style.  In addition to this skirt they also carried a strawberry dress in the midori style, which I actually saw at the same time as the strawberry sweater.  Two strawberry styles in the same day--that's how I knew something was up in the fashion world.

The Midori dress was so gorgeous and I could totally have envisioned it being worn in the 1950s and 60s.  Unfortunately I just missed out on it.  I finally decided to buy it, had it in my cart, got called away for an hour or so and when I got back it was gone and totally out of stock.  Bummer.  But the skirt was still available and I knew I could style it in some fun ways.

I really felt more at ease buying from Unique Vintage because I have never had a problem with the quality of their clothes, so I felt confident that this skirt was going to be lovely, well made, and fit well and I was not disappointed in any of those areas.

While I decided not to do a side by side comparison, you can probably tell from the photos that this skirt is actually a different shade of pink from both the Matoshi dress and the Aliexpress dress.  It's more of an orange-pink and quite a vibrant color and rather pretty for the warmth of its shade.

I couldn't make up my mind today, so I decided to show you both styles I had in mind.  Obviously pink and red were on my mind.  I tried a white top, but it just didn't look quite right.  I'll have to keep experimenting with other colors.

Well, that's a wrap on Strawberry week and I think I have enough strawberry clothes to last me a while though I do love them all and I will definitely be posting more outfit pics of each soon.......or at least in the springtime when the flowers bloom.  I don't what it's like where you live, but I'm calling it quits on outdoor outfit photos for a while.  It's just too cold out there.
