This was a fun challenge - so much inspiration!  I even managed to force myself out of my 1950's New Look style dresses for once.  (Although I didn't go all that far - it's still 1950's inspired!)

 

Here's my creation for the week.  Based on the movie Guys and Dolls, which was nominated for a Best Costume Design Academy Award in 1955 (the colour section).  I blogged about it over here.

I still can't believe you have made your outfit, photographed it, blogged about it and got it on here already. AND it looks great. Wow. I'm still getting over last week!

Hey Kat - love the outfit. I like a t-shirt with longer sleeves. I may have to consider a pencil skirt or two as well. (Gotta say - Guys and Dolls - one of my favourites)

Beautiful Suit! Love the combination of colors used, pencil skirts are basic items, I'm sure it will have much wear.

Hope I gave you all a good laugh! xx

 

This is 1965 nominee Dorothy Jeakins for The Sound of Music, by the way.

 

And I live in a village in a flat part of the world, so the mountains are thanks to my hubby and photoshop!
