Bedding Inspired Outfits

I've been loving outerwear inspired by bedding materials like quilts and blankets lately. I really wish I was craftier and more skillful to actually repurpose old bedding material and turn them into fashionable jackets. That would be the dream to be homey, thrifty, yet environmentally chic and fashionable at the same time. 

Loving these looks from ASOS:

Miss Selfridge blanket stitch cardigan - it is all in the little details like that stitch around the hems

Miss Selfridge blanket stitch borg collar detail jacket - I'm digging the oversize collar trend

ASOS DESIGN volume sleeve quilted bed jacket - I think Elphaba from Wicked is bringing back the Victorian puffy sleeves to 2025-2026! This styling with the loose jeans looks so good! 

This jacket is bad-ass chic! 

ASOS DESIGN quilted jacket in brown gingham - instead of the obvious patchwork quilted jackets, I've been leaning more towards neutral prints, like this classic gingham that looks festive, yet neutral enough to style with many different outfits. 

Object quilted plaid jacket in dark green and navy - this is also a great neutral one in plaid and I love the flap pockets. 

Cottagecore Pretty Dress Alert

Still on a high of Cottagecore dress styles...I found one that is totally Queen Victoria approved! Even the price tag is fit for a royal...

I love it so much, I have to post the dress at all angles here:

Tuckernuck Lilac Yvonne Print Flutter Sleeve Dress ($395)

Has all the right elements: ditsy floral print, cotton fabric, ruffles, tiers, and lace. 

Cottagecore Inspiration

So I've been intrigued by the "Cottagecore" look ever since the Nap Dress became a thing started by Nellie Diamond's Hill House company where the floral prints are the same as the bed sheet prints. 

It's girly and sweet, and reminds you of the country life, and I wasn't sure if it's for me...

Until season 3 episode 3 of Victoria, the PBS Masterpiece Theater's show that I'm currently hooked on...

This is my favorite Queen Victoria outfit from the show! Purple-ditsy print! Ah! you have my heart. And her bonnet is just perfect! Since the royal family is somewhat vacationing in the seaside escape at their home in the Isle of Wight, I would definitely consider this resort-wear for the Victorian times! 

It's hilarious that Prince Albert wears the classic Breton stripes too: 

Other views from the show on her gown:

So now I'm on the lookout of trying out this style in modern day form, and at affordable prices...

From Forever 21:

More ditsy florals

Urban Outfitters Cooperative Vivi Button-Down Mini Dress ($69)

Love this styling! I'm onto tiny "ditsy" floral prints and walk-able shoes lately. 

Tissot's Floral Print

My infatuation with James Tissot's picturesque fashion in his paintings continues...

Clearly, he has a thing for this printed dress:

 The Captain's Daughter, 1873

 Richmond Bridge (Declaration of Love), 1878           The Elder Sister, 1881                 

Le Banc de jardin (The Garden Bench), 1883
