Summer Freedom

In weather like this why would anyone want to wear more than a simple vest and a skirt
Which is why I was so glad to find these free, and near free, items to throw together!

Disneybound - Vanellope Von Schweetz

Sadly I haven't yet seen Wreck it Ralph, it is on my "to watch" list along with Enchanted and The Princess and the Frog (I eventually caved)
However I had a good look through the Disneybound tumblr and Googled Vanellope and went from there!

I accessorised my outfit with a charm bracelet from The Arcade, it's from Noodles (Natalee Oodles of Style Minions who is as equally Disney obsessed as I) The charms I have are Floating lights (gold) magical ncoach (gold - rare) and under the starfish (gold). I also have fate bow (silver) and reflection hair pin (silver). I have extras, I'll be writing up my tarde list soon cos I kinda went Disney overboard at the Oodles gatchas!

The candy inspired charm braclet and necklace is from Miam Miam Jewelry which has LOADS of 10L jewelry pieces

Legs

Legs.

That's what they called her.

Legs.

In Venice, the beautiful city, the sinking city.

How would she have known that a masquerade would be formal? Black and white yes, but formal?

Straightening her tuxedo jacket she tottered away in the hope of a gondola spotting her.... yet this late in the afternoon in the backwater alleys she had to keep walking.

With a sigh she carried on, her head held high, and walked towards the Campanile de San Marco and prayed she remembered the winding route to her hotel.
She was sure it was around here somewhere...

This lovely tuxedo jacket (and dress) is a free group gift, I love the design of it and it teamed perfectly with the necklace I wanted to blog (also a cheapie).
A few points to make about the dress, however, be aware it only comes in three sizes, considering it's free there's no need to demo but it's disappointing if you really like it and it won't fit your shape.
Another point, the rigging is good however in certain poses my arms do poke through the sleeves and the padded shoulders aren't complimentary for the more energetic poses.
