Hello dearies! I have a "lake-side picnic" inspired outfit to share with you all today that I hope you'll enjoy (especially because there's a giveaway at the end... :D ). Charlotte and I had such a fun time photographing this shoot, even though the weather wasn't exactly "picnic-perfect".
This whole outfit centered around Lilla Rose's Flexi of the Month, Anchor's Aweigh, which our Lilla Rose consultant, Mrs. Ramm, asked me to style for you all. This flexi has such beautiful aqua-marine shades of blue that I wanted to echo and compliment in my outfit. Somehow the red just fit, though it's not an outfit that necessarily screams "seaside". I think it lets the flexi speak for itself in its "seaside-ness". Oh, and by the way, when we received this flexi, I realized that normally we girls wear a mini, so I was a bit nervous to put it on to see if it would fit (the one we received was an extra-small), but surprisingly it stayed in practically all day! Tally-ho, hooray, and all that!
Our family doesn't hardly ever go picnicking any more, even though we seldom did so when I was younger. However there's just something so romantic and dreamy about packing up a lunch and going to some spot by a lake, or a park in the country. This particular picnic brought to mind an old song called: "Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie", because it had just been raining, and it almost seemed as if this photo-shoot would never happen. But all we had to do was wait till the sun came shining down, and "picnic point" was ready and waiting.
Top: Me-made // Skirt: Me-made // Shoes: Target //
And now, the moment you all have been waiting for! One of YOU will win an Extra-Small of this month's FOTM, Anchor's Aweigh! Are you excited?! Then check out the giveaway below.
Giveaway is open to U.S. readers only. Ends August 21st, 12 AM, EST. Thank you!

Those hair clips are so cute! For a seaside picnic I think I would pair it with my red and white striped top and navy blue skirt. Thanks for the giveaway :)

Nice clips! What is your favorite color? (each of you) See you all on Sunday! -M
ReplyDeleteHi Maria!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by favorite color? Do you mean favorite color of clips, or just favorite color in general?

Favorite color in general! I realized that I had never asked you!
DeleteLove this outfit! That color is so lovely on you. :)
ReplyDeleteReally like this outfit combo! I would style the flexi with either a white or striped top and navy skirt. I really like nautical accessories! :)

ReplyDeleteI would style it with curls on my hair and white dress :)

I've never had a flexi before, so I'm not exactly sure how I would style it, but I have a feeling I would use it with EVERYTHING! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! I would wear it with a comfy striped skirt and yellow top. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit!!
ReplyDeleteI recently bought a white and navy blue stripped shirt I would wear with a flexi to complete the nautical look.
ReplyDeleteI'd style it with a crimson blouse and a kaki skirt with pearls!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I've been in a nautical mood recently. I'll be meditating on how I would style this flexi clip... :)
ReplyDeleteCute clip and outfit. I am always impressed with your sewing ability! I live near the beach and really enjoy spending time there. I can imagine an old pair of comfy jeans rolled up with my extra long striped white and orange t-shirt and bare feet with a cute flexi tucked in my hair. I can already feel a cool breeze and smell the salt air. ~Lisa <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! you look so wonderful, Brigid! the colors in your outfit go well with your complexion and skin tone. i love the lake/picnic theme, good for summer... although it's almost over. :(
ReplyDelete-Abigail
You look beautiful! I think that colour really suits you. Gutted the give away is for US readers only:(
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet outfit Brigid! :) You look pretty and ready for summer picnicing.
ReplyDeleteThat outfit is sooo cute!! I love how you paired the blue with that tan/red color! ;) When you all pinned that flexi awhile back I fell in love with it! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is absolutely darling! If it was me, I would probably wear my white lace dress with capped sleeves and a scooped back, and navy toms. Navy and white are my absolute favorite colors to wear. :)
ReplyDeleteI would probably style it with a navy blue and white striped nautical style dress. The clip is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteThe hair clip is so pretty! I love how you styled it, Brigid. You girls pull of the vintage look so well! =)
ReplyDeleteI would like to style it with a dress but unfortunately I don't have a dress to wear it with so I would probably style it with my navy blue skirt and my red and white striped shirt, or the navy skirt and a gray shirt.
ReplyDeleteI would style this flexi with my navy blue maxi skirt and a blue and white striped t-shirt, boat shoes, and a nautical-themed necklace!
ReplyDeleteI have many blue items in my wardrobe--not on purpose, but it simply happened that everything that I like in the consignments stores happened to be blue! And since blue is an oh-so-nautical color, I think the flexi clip would go with many outfits that I have--especially a blue dress that echoes a 1940s look. It would be the perfect picnic outfit, too! Very summery and simple, and very comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit, Brigid! I think that that top is my favorite that you have made. I love the shade of red--it looks like a heather-red!
Great photos, Charlotte!
I would style it for Bible Bee. How neat is it that it fits the Jonah theme?!
ReplyDeleteIt all goes so well together, picnic blanket included! I love the skirt. And I love the whole relaxed look of it - perfect for sitting on the ground!
ReplyDeleteI could either wear my white pants (seaside!) I've recently made, but white may not be the best idea... or the blue pleated skirt I've finished even more recently, which I'm wearing right now but which is still waiting for its introduction on the blog... both nicely summery and pretty and yes, comfortable to sit down in. :-)
First of all this photoshoot is so perfect...you looks so lovely Brigid! Love your outfit, so fuss-free & casual :) I'll be honest, this clip is so lovely, I'd wear with whatever I normally wear even if it doesn't match! :P
ReplyDeleteI would style it for an audition- it's so feminine and pretty without being overpowering.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think you paired that skirt perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit!
ReplyDeleteHmm.....I would probably style the flexi clip with my new homemade skirt that is white with vintage blue flowers. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI would pair the clip with my Delia's polka dot/ red anchor tee and jean capris and white sandals!
ReplyDeleteI love picnics!
ReplyDeleteI'd style the flexi with a red top and blue bottoms. Or a blue top and neutral colored bottoms. :)
ReplyDeleteLike that this flexi is nautical. As for styling it? . . . it seems pretty versatile to me :) but I think it would go well with a pencil skirt, blouse and pumps.
ReplyDeleteI'd wear the flexi with a nautical striped dress:D thanks for the giveaway!

I think it's so fun that LillaRose has come out with a nautical flexi! :) I think a khaki skirt, a white and navy striped tee-shirt, with touches of red (maybe in the form of a belt?) would be a fun way to style this flexi!
ReplyDeleteI would wear it with my hair curled and slightly pined back on the right side.
ReplyDeleteI would pair this flexi with my white eyelet skirt and striped navy top.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your outfit Brigid. I though I would style the Flexi with a nautical white and blue outfit.
ReplyDeleteAmazing outfit, Brigid!!!!!!!!! Your skirt is SO cute! I would style the flex clip with a kaki skirt, a pea green blouse and pearls!
ReplyDeleteOoh beautiful outfit! I would probably pull back my hair for a half up half down look! That's why I love flexi clips, even a simple hairstyle looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFunny what giveaways will make someone do... :) Hi...I've been reading your blog for a couple of months now and just have never commented! I really enjoy your blog; it's definitely one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHow would I style such a clip? I have no idea...it would completely depend on the day and outfit. :)
Thanks for being an encouragement!

Your outfit is absolutely beautiful! I love the flexi clip.
ReplyDeleteJoanna
Ooh i would were my navy blue skirt with my sailor type shirt ! :)
ReplyDeleteIn an elegant half up! Always wanted a flexible!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit. I would wear my hair up and I would wear my red t -shirt knit dress.
ReplyDeleteI would style it the same way as yours! It was subtly yet eye catching!
ReplyDeleteI would wear the pin by pulling my hair back or how your wearing it in the pictures! :) If I went to a picnic by the seaside, I would wear a navy blue with white stripes dress with a light navy blue sweater and anchor flats! To finish the outfit I would wear a brown watch! :D Thanks for having this lovely giveaway !! Love your homemade outfit aswell! ~Hannah
ReplyDeleteI've been hesitating to mention it, but I do have a questions about the Rafflecopter, Boyer ladies: I've noticed that it's stopped counting entries for me. When I pin an image to pinterest daily, it used to add two points, as it says--but for the last two days my points stayed at 10. Is there a max that we earn through pinning images? Am I doing something wrong? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Genevieve!
DeleteI honestly have to say I don't know the answers to your questions. I'm really sorry. If it worked that way for you for Pinterest, then I think it probably would work that way for everybody, so you won't have an unfair chance.
Sorry I couldn't help further!
