A dainty necklace with a key charm is a great way to subtly add details from Alice's story in a cute and stylish way.
OUTFIT #2
This is a look more loosely inspired by Alice's look but is equally adorable and full of Alice-elements!
This look would be perfect for a going out look to dinner, dancing or just a night on the town!
This teal top has loose sleeves and off-the-shoulder construction balanced by a fitted middle, perfect for wearing with skirts while the ruffles at the top are pretty and dynamic.
The white skirt is a draw from Alice's classic pinafore. A high waist and pleats accent the feminine look and is great for pairing with a looser top.
A black skinny belt further accents the waist and is crisp contrasting to a white skirt.
White sling-back pumps are are fun way to make the look more sophisticated and balance the sugary sweet look of a high waisted skirt.
