my first thought was this lilac fabric for pants with a black lace over skirt with a mix of the lilac & lace for a halter style top.
but the lilac fabric is HORRID apart from the fantastic colour.
Thought 2- pinstripe pants and a vest, flower at the lapel, maybe a fedora? - sort of like a gangster look (I know Jimmy Hoffa=70's) but I was thinking sort of a business man kind of look which then took me to the 30's gangster feel? Biggest problem here - another one off costume that I won't be able to wear again.
So - every fabric that I picked up at the store was either the same colour I wore last year or ... more red! so... back to the drawing board...
somehow I need to come up with an easy quick idea!!!! suggestions welcome! looking for a vague tribal/tribal fusion feel.
