Get ready for Magic to happen!
I love it when I find a teatime pairing that not only belongs together but creates magic together! And what is more magical than pink elephants on parade??
First and foremost, let me interject here, what are pink elephants if not the most illustrious and notable allusion to the musical scene in Dumbo of the Pink Elephants on Parade? Now that you have these elephants tramping around in your mind, I'm ready to continue with this post.
The first time I laid eyes on Bernie Dexter's Sugar Doll dress in Pink Elephant print I knew it was something I would think about and pine over for years to come. How ingenious and so perfect is this 1950's style dress made with pink elephant novelty print? If you look closely at these drunken pink elephants you will see some even wearing lampshades!

Pair this with a vintage Pink Elephant tea set from ebay seller Adirondackantiquities and you truly have a magical pairing. This French antique set comes in the loveliest shade of pink (grey also available) and the happy little elephant teapot is complete with tusks!

And what do you know? This perfect pairing is more than just a pair! Check out how perfectly paired this tea set also is with Pinup Girl Clothing's Annalise dress in black with Tipsy Elephants!

These elephants seems to stumble and jumble around on the dress as they merrily dance around bubbles and martini glasses. (You can check out my full review of this dress here)

And as they say in Dumbo,
"Look out! Look out!
Pink elephants on parade
Here they come!
Hippety hoppety
They're here and there
Pink elephants ev'rywhere
Look out! Look out!"
Loveee those outfits! I especially love the Bernie elephant dress; too cute! :) Bernie has such amazing prints! And I adore those BAIT Iones. I have been looking for them in that colour forever, but haven't had any luck in my size!

Thank you Bristol! I am so happy to have finally found this Bernie Dexter dress!!! It's one of her older designs and I got extremely lucky finding it on a swap/sell group :). And yes, love these Iones! I actually had to buy both of these items one size too big (1/2 size too big in the BAITs). I wish I could find these pink BAITs in my actual size but for now I will settle with a 1/2 too big. :)
DeleteWhat swap/sell group did you find that dress on? I would love to join it! Aww. yea, I totally get the size or 1/2 size too big thing! I do that often when I find things on eBay that are so hard to find otherwise!
DeleteBristol, I got it from the PUG Swap and Sell group on facebook! It's a fun group.. new stuff is always turning up! :D Way addictive though! ;) https://www.facebook.com/groups/885804088099704/
DeleteLoving the pink elephants...on your dresses and that teapot and saucer set, cute!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cherrymilla! I just adore these pink elephants on the dresses and the tea set! I fully agree! So cute ;)
DeleteThis is absolutely stunning and just too beautiful for words. Perfect dresses and tea set.
