Love or Loathe: Renaissance Skimmer

By -
Were these ankle wrap skimmers actually made by a leather worker from a renaissance faire, I don't think I'd mind them. They would make good footwear for garb. As it is, they are from Urban Outfitters. Perhaps it's my non-hipster status but I can't imagine what they would possibly go with. Maybe Ray Bans and a mini version of a grandma dress?

LOATHE!!

They are hideous!

I love retro, but renaissance-inspired clothing takes things a bit too far for my liking.

The only thing I can picture myself wearing these with are renn faire garb. In that aspect, I like them, but I can't picture any "real" clothes suiting them.

I'd have to try them on first to see.

Maybe with jeans? :) Way more modern things paired with them could be cool

I could see these together with a scoop neck, knee length tank dress, and a wide leather belt for the summer.

Rebekka, that's a cool idea. I was thinking maybe khaki shorts, a peasant top and a fringe bag. When I think of them as a summer ankle boot, I can come up with outfits.

I almost think I kind of like them. I think maybe.

Thanks Jael, I guess the key is not to be too literal with these renaissance booties.. add a touch but don't over do it. The khakis/peasant top would also be hella cute. I think now I want them too for next summer! :)

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
