Doorway to Byzantium

Photobucket

Photobucket
Vintage skirt, petticoat, belt, bangles, earrings and sunglasses; necklace from NYC street vendor; Forever21 tights; Charlotte Russe shoes; thrifted top.
My boss was kind enough to quickly snap these pictures last week before we headed out hunting for vintage treasures. I love throwing pops of teal and gold in with a subtle earth-tone ensemble. The combination of the antiquated door and rich wardrobe color scheme made for a perfect throwback to the Byzantine era.
Hope you all enjoy this Leap Year day! 
Mwah! Mwah!
