Nautical Nymph

Ahoy! :D I’m all set for sailing with my first vintage outfit, the Barbie Resort Set # 963, produced from 1959 to 1962. I’m wearing a white hat, a red jacket, a navy and white stripe shirt, and white cuff shorts. The set also includes a white vinyl cork wedge shoes and gold charm bracelet, but since they are much rarer and harder to obtain, the price is much steeper. Tin got my outfit for a reasonable price sans the last two items.

For more info about Vintage Barbie and Friends dolls, outfits, and accessories, visit Fashion Doll Guide. If you’re interested in collecting vintage outfits for your dolls, there’s an updated (I think) ebay listing below every outfit in their site. :)

P.S The colors of my outfit reminds me of Blair Waldorf’s signature color palette in the first season of Gossip Girl. I heard season three will premiere on September 14. I’m looking forward to the clothes that Blair would be wearing. :)

Fashion Inspiration: Blair Waldorf

Ruffled Top, Fashion Fever. High-waisted Skirt, Barbie. Black Gladiator-like Heels, Avic1030

This outfit is inspired by Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) from the CW series Gossip Girl. I love how the red ribbon on the ruffles overhauled the black and white eyelet top, and how my high-waisted denim skirt toned down the dressiness of the top making my look casual cool.

Blair is my favorite character in the series because of her sense of style. She loves classic pieces, and she knows how to accessorize in order to update her look. I also noticed that she repeats some pieces, not just the accessories, but even the clothes! She gets away with being an “outfit repeater” because she knows how to mix and match them. Oh! I want to raid her closet! Hmm.. I think that just gave me an idea for my future posts. Watch out for that! :p
