How Kacey Wears It, Orchid

Hello friends! Hope you are all well. It's been crazy busy around here lately. (I guess it never really slows down, because I say that all the time!) The garden is growing and we are eating good, healthy veggies. My oldest got baptized and I threw a big party to celebrate. I've been sewing a bit and I just received my last two dresses from my collection. Which brings me to my post today. I am wearing my "Orchid" dress. This is the same style as the orange "Belle de Jour" except in a mint green. It is made of chiffon and has beautiful pleats falling from the waist and is oh so fun to twirl in! (As you can see...I just can't help myself!)

As I was looking for accessories to accompany this fun frock, I found a gorgeous clutch/purse from Elaine Turner. I've never bought from here before, but I am impressed. It shipped fast and packed great and when I opened the box...I was in love! The mint python goes so great with this dress. (Oh, and the inside of the purse is pink, how could it be more me?)
Here is a close up of the Purse, it's called Makenzie but I think it's =Python Perfection!: It's on sale and I got a coupon for signing up for email=bonus!! It can be worn as a purse with the chain strap or take the chain off for a clutch. Have I mentioned...I love this bag?!

As for shoes, I had bought these faux snake print heels from VS early this season and loved them with this. (Elaine Turner has some great python wedges that would be great with this dress too!)

Here are some more pics of me wearing "Orchid" (to purchase this dress please go to shabbyapple.com and look for it in the "Fete de Fleurs" Collection.)

My accessories today are a gold colored chain necklace and matching earrings. I got these at Koo de Ker. Another of my fav shops for picking up something fantastic!


I think the thing I like most about this dress is that when standing still this dress hangs close and neat and is slimming. But give her some lift, air or twirl and you get a gorgeous flow of pleats! Trust me, you won't be able to keep from twirling! Hope you have enjoyed "Orchid" today. Have a Fancy Day from "Patch-A-Heaven!"

How Kacey Wears It, Dressed up Belle de Jour

Hi my friends! Hopefully you aren't sick of seeing this dress! This is the last look I will give on
"Belle de Jour." It is getting lots of attention (thanks to fashion blogger Cara Loren rocking it at a recent wedding) and selling well, I anticipate this dress in this color to be sold out soon, YAY! Today I get the chance to dress up and go to the theatre so I thought I'd post how I wear this dress, dressed up. (Basically I just changed to heels instead of flats and lost the denim, dress down jacket.) I stayed with the pink theme, because...well,  I love pink!
(I wore it casual in another post, if you want to see it go here: )
Casual Belle de Jour

So back to the theatre, My mother-in-law got all of us girls tickets to a show, so here is how I wear "Belle" dressed up. I always dress up to go to the theatre! We went to the matinee performance so I went with a pony tail and more casual jewelry to keep it day. I got lots of compliments on it.

Accessories: Pink and Coral colored statement necklace, pink earrings, bracelet and shoes. Pink, purple, mint scarf. Pink Kate Spade purse.

The wind has been blowing like crazy around here lately and I hate wind! But, as I was complaining about it, a thought came into my mind. This dress was actually inspired by another iconic dress. Remember Marilyn Monroe's white, hot, pleated dress in the Subway Grate scene in "The Seven Year Itch?" (Yep, that one!) My dress was actually inspired by that memorable moment in cinema history. It was to be the "Mormon Version" of that great, grate dress! I have always loved vintage styling and Marilyn had such great style. So as the wind blew those delicate pleats around today, I smiled as I thought of what it would be like to live one day in the life of Miss Marilyn! (I am no Marilyn, but I can pretend!) I had a lot of fun shooting these pics today and I must say Marilyn made it look sexy, I just made it look dorky! (But I'm ok with that.)  This has been such a fun dress, so feminine, flirty and you just can't help, but give a little twirl in this baby! If you buy this dress, don't be surprised if it makes you want to have a "Marilyn Moment!" Hope you have loved Belle de Jour, for now "Au Revoir!" Here are a few more pics from my dorky rendition of the subway grate scene:

I love how the wind takes the pleats, so girly.

Yep, I'm a total dork!!




Whew baby! I'd better have a good hold on this thing!



Um... this one went a little high! Super dork face!!



Marilyn, this one's for you!

The real thing! Miss Marilyn rocking the subway grate in The Seven Year Itch.

Hope you have a fancy day! Loves, Kacey

How Kacey Wears It, "Bouquet"

Hi All and Happy Sunday! Hope you are doing swell. I just got home from church and thought I'd do a quick post on what I wore today. This is one of my favorite dresses in my collection! It's called "Bouquet" and is one of my best sellers. It is made with a high quality cotton and has a bright floral print. I love this dress paired with Mint Green or Lavender, but today I threw in a pop of hot pink too (just cuz I love pink!) Here's one of the ways I like to wear "Bouquet:"

Flowers make me happy! Even when I wear them.



I wear this with my mint green suede heels from VS online. And my fav pink Kate Spade handbag.



Here's the mint green bracelet I found at the Queen B market at Snap, love it!



I like this mint green statement necklace with this dress.

I'm pretty much obsessed with the clothes and styles in the movie "Gatsby" so I had to go with the head scarf wrap!
