Friday Fashion Frenzy is a feature where I link up with multiple style blogs.
Blogging Besties is the brain child of Alex @ Undergraduate Style and Whitney @ Whitney à la Mode. It’s based on the idea of “take one, pass it on,” but we’re passing on an element from another blogger’s outfit.
I passed on the lace from Alex’s look and kept the top in the same color family.
TARDIS Tuesday is a link up with Maricel @ My Closet Catalogue. It can include anything TARDIS blue or anything Whovian.
This week it’s all about the bow tie necklace, because:
If you can’t tell, this is part of the Blogging Besties outfit, pictured above.
Gracey has brought back Literary Stylings for 2015! The idea is to get sartorially inspired by a book you read the previous month. I read a TON of Cozies in January, several of which were set in the 1920s, including Gone West, A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery, by Carola Dunn.
The 1920s are a popular era for Cozies, probably because they were a time of huge social change. The world was opening up for many people, especially women. Daisy is an impoverished aristocrat who has created a career for herself writing travel articles. Of course, being that this is a Cozy series, she finds bodies everywhere she goes!
I went for a period look with a handkerchief hem, faux drop waist, vintage locket, pearls, cloche (from my daughter’s dress up box), and filtered photography.
If you enjoy Literary Stylings, please come back on 2/19/15 for Thoughtful Third Thursday!
A BIBLIOPHILE'S STYLE 
I really love that inverted lace pleat detail; so unique and eye-catching!
YES! Bow ties are exquisitely cool! And you wear yours well. Around the neck and everything! ;p
Wot?! Wot?! A cloche? A handkerchief hem? The Roaring 20s? Be still my dressing-the-eras loving heart! I love this! And those pops of red? Brilliant!

I love that detail too. 🙂
Isn’t it a great necklace?
Decade dressing is fun, no? The red hat and coral skirt clash IRL which is why I went with a filter. 😉

Oooh, clever! I was wondering what you were talking about regarding that filter because it didn’t look too touched up at all. But now that I know, kudos to making those two bold colors harmonize! Photoshop?

😀 Thanks, Kezzie! I stumbled on this necklace at Nordstrom Rack a few years ago and just HAD to have it!
Have you read any of the Her Royal Spyness books by Rhys Bowen? They’re similar to Daisy Dalrymple.
I emailed the photo to Jess – thanks for the suggestion!
