Outfit to Scrapbook: Punk Meets Granny
I was quite taken by the unexpected pairing in this outfit, brought to us by Streetfsn. I think it’s the disheveled mix of things I love- granny patterns, stripes, jackets, lace-up shoes, and even a fun vintage purse. I wasn’t sure about trying this look in my own wardrobe, but I knew for sure that I loved the vibe and wanted to duplicate it in a scrapbook page.
First I gathered the supplies that I thought meshed well with the outfit, sticking with the same colors and textures. After I chose a photo to work with, my selection was narrowed down a bit to suite the subject matter.
I didn’t have any black and white striped paper, so I made my own stripes using strips of black-on-black lace paper. The vinyl letters I used represent the vintage purse in the outfit, as they have the same texture and out-of-place formality. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the black paint added a bit of the disheveled feel that the outfit conveys. Add a piece of camel leather, a mini piece of a bingo pattern, some lace pattered paper strips in a similar color to her skirt, and I think I’ve achieved a similar look!
Paper: Hambly Studios (black and blue), Sassafras Lass (bingo pattern)
Leather: old sample swatch
Letters: American Crafts
