Perky, Punky and Pinky

Yay! PINK! Pink makes me very happy, (I definitely fall on the Perkygoth side of the spectrum, if you haven't figured it out yet), so when I saw this skirt at Buffalo Exchange, I simply had to have it. It was $16, which is a little on the high end for a single clothing item (excepting corsets) for me, but it's also Tripp, which meant it was probably 4 times that much originally, so I snapped it up. Here's the outfit:

Pink cami (underneath layer): Forever 21
Black tank: Ross
Black-Black Stripe Buckle Corset: The Crypt
Hot Pink/Black Tutu Skirt: Tripp via Buffalo Exchange
Tights: Forever 21
Boots: DAV

Look at how full it is! It positively begs to be twirled in. Which I do. Quite frequently. Without shame.

Aren't these tights too adorable? I love the heart pattern on them.
I'm actually very pleased with this outfit-I got a lot of compliments from random people when out shopping. I think it was the tutu skirt. I really like this skirt-I'm super tempted to pick up several kajillion yards of varicolored nylon net next time I go shopping and make several of them-I think it would be pretty simple, they're just gathered layers attached to a waistband. Have any of you ever spent a little more on an item because you thought you might be able to use it as a pattern for other things?
