Sass & Bide 'The Day After' Pinafore

If the prim Victorian and streetwise hoodie-loving East Van sides of my personality got together and had an illegitimate love child, it would surely look like the Sass & Bide 'The Day After' pinafore, on sale at Revolve Clothing for $73. The whole idea of donning a pinafore conjures up images of my favourite girlhood literary figures, especially those that populate Lucy Maud Montgomery's novels. But the brass buttons (and oh, I do have a thing for brass buttons as evidenced by these boots)! And the white topstitching playfully deconstructing the black expanse of the skirt! And the relatively short hemline! If I wore this pinafore with chunky-heeled cutout booties, a white scoopneck tee, and a straw Panama hat, I'd leave Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon in the dust.*
