Today I was feeling on top of the world with an extra skip in my step when I found this long-forgotten Leeba Marks skirt. Made from vintage fabrics, this skirt is bursting with color and eludes pure joy; I am especially fond of the bottom, as it is made from cute, vintage handkerchiefs. While I do love the length of the skirt, I decided to try wearing it as a dress. If you've tried this with other skirts, you know it doesn't always work; however, this breezy skirt worked just fine as a dress.
I call it my "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" skirt, as it makes me think of the English nursery rhyme:
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
Since the fabric is rather busy, I kept the jewelry simple and understated; a long necklace dangling with little beads and a gold ring finished off this sweet look.
Say hello to Peaches, one of the many chickens that live in a little coop on our property; Peaches is of the Ameraucana breed. Jemima, a Rhode Island Red chicken, also ran in and out of the photos; however, she was more interested in the bugs crawling around in the soil.
Leeba Marks is located out of Los Angeles and continues to construct beautiful pieces made from vintage fabrics like tablecloths and handkerchiefs.
Skirt, Leeba Marks; necklace, unknown; ring, unknown
