Make other aspiring Birds of Paradise squawk with envy.
We know what you've been thinking: "How do I maintain my natural Southern roots, while updating my daily look to embody a stripper's sexy, confident attitude?" You want to uphold your signature elegance, but make people stare endlessly at your thighs--us, too. Lucky for you, we've grappled with this fantasy today to create a look that blurs the two through a demure exotic bird's dancer ensemble. Here's what you'll need to steal this look.
The Ruffly Sheer Leotard and Matching Hat.
These pieces clearly aren't floating around your local H&M, but there are similar gorgeous garments within the showrooms of our latest design crush, Palomo Spain.
The Thigh-High Green Boots.
It's important to make sure these fit on your leg slugly and go well above the knee--the perfect balance of stripper and southern charm.
The Hunting Dog with Attitude.
Take your powerful pup for a stroll and you'll make other aspiring Birds of Paradise squawk with envy--especially if your pooch is wearing a matching victorian collar.
