Last Peek

So here is your last peek at my Rum & Couture Spring 2009 Line.

This is a whimsical green dotted dress with a bright floral bust. I'm so excited because this dress is more fun and less serious than things I've been doing for my resort line.

I hope the bow doesn't throw anyone off of the true dressy nature of this piece. This dress has a zipper in the back and like all of the pieces that I have been working on - it is meant to be worn over a bathing suit or by itself.

I want to thank my roommate for doing this photo shoot and wearing my silly hat and glasses that I will surely be wearing on our vacation this week. Thanks for peeking in and keeping up with me. Now I have a date for the show. It is Saturday April 4th. I'm beyond excited, ask my roommates or look at the photo set of a hall way I have, and can't wait to show you the whole thing. From now on I'll just be posting accessories that will be in the show just so I don't give it all away. I'm bad with surprises but I'll try! (A few more pieces will but up on my website tomorrow www.rumandcouture.com so you can see maybe a few extras...well two to be exact) Told you I'm bad. But, no more after that I promise!

Matching

Matching accessories in print often make me feel over done and too "matchy matchy" as many of my friends call it. Here is my trial: I'm going to try to coordinate shoes with a bag in print. Color coordinating is one thing...bold prints are another. So, I chose my coach clutch and matching print shoes. As you can see it doesn't get louder than that. (Well yea you can but I won't go there.) I chose matching prints that I could almost hide.
The idea behind it is that with jeans on you can not see all of the shoe. Also, the bag will be clutched in my hand. The prints are noticeable and matching but not loud and taking away from the rest of the outfit. If you have to do matching prints please promise not to wear matching jackets, hats, and pants, and so forth. Please haha. Good luck matching.
