Finally I get to the Art Deco blog post!! Super excited to share pictures from this! So just a little background on why this magical event happens every year. Back in 1931 there was a massive earthquake that destroyed Napier. Although it also added some land to the shore line, which is a bonus. Anywho after the massive amounts of damage to many of the buildings, they rebuilt the city in the art deco style. So to celebrate this once a year everyone gets all dolled up in art deco fashion and walks around Napier soaking it all in. There are bands playing, old cars to see, and train rides to take. It's pretty grand. I highly recommend ya'll to check it out if you ever get over to this side of the world :)
First up is my outfit. As soon as I found out about Art Deco weekend I was kicking myself for not finding out before because I had things at home I could have used. However it was nice to have a shopping trip. Grateful I was able to get a picture of my outfit :)
Shirt - Opp Shop $5
Skirt - Recycled $12
Shoes - Lucky Brand Via Belks
Hat - Made by me ~ $30
Jewelry - pearls via Oil City antique warehouse and remade by Maertens
Watch- Seiko via Khols ~$70
When scouring Napier for Art Deco clothes the biggest thing for me was that I could rewear them. Mission accomplished. The skirt is actually a maxi skirt (I wore it like a strapless dress under the shirt) so I can easily re-wear that as well as the shirt. The shirt was also part of a set so I got a bonus maxi skirt. Now onto the rest of the pictures :)
